The Bloodhound is built on an Earthwerks PXH IV Endo Steel chassis that carries a lightweight Hermes 315 XL engine capable of pushing the Bloodhound up to speeds of 118.8 km/h. The Bloodhound is well armored for its mission with nine and a half tons of Durallex Light armor with CASE to protect the 'Mech against complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion. The Bloodhound also carries a Beagle Active Probe which is capable of finding hidden enemy units. To dissipate the heat from the Bloodhounds weapons the 'Mech has fourteen double heat sinks. For its intended mission and in an infantry support role the Bloodhound is a superb 'Mech. When facing other 'Mechs the Bloodhound is woefully under-armed.[2]
