−	Produced by [[Leopard Armor]] for the [[Word of Blake]], the '''''Red Shift''''' is one of many new [[BattleMech]]s being fielded by the [[Word of Blake Militia]]. The ''Red Shift'' is designed to spot for the [[Padilla Heavy Artillery Tank|Padilla]] artillery tank also built by Leopard Armor, with its [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] target designator. Built on a lightweight [[Leopard Mark I]] [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by a [[GM 180 XL]] [[extralight engine]] that pushes the 'Mech's top speed up to 151.2 km/h. To give the 'Mech the ability to protect itself from advanced electronic warfare systems, the ''Red Shift'' has a [[Guardian ECM suite]], and for protection from conventional weapons the ''Red Shift'' has four tons of [[Star Slab/1]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name="TRO:3067p44+">''Technical Readout: 3067'', pp. 44–45: "RDS-2A Red Shift"</ref>	+	Produced by Leopard Armor for the [[Word of Blake]], the '''''Red Shift''''' is one of many new [[BattleMech]]s being fielded by the [[Word of Blake Militia]].
