	==Description==		==Description==
−	The '''''Antlion''''' was an unusual quad [[BattleMech]], purpose-built by [[StarCorps Industries]] for the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] from their plant on [[Crofton]] to fill a tactical indirect fire support role. The introduction of the ''Antlion'' was at least in part a reaction to the proliferation of [[anti-missile system]]s, which rendered other indirect fire systems significantly less effective after the mid-[[thirty-first century]].<ref name="TRO:3145FSp38+"/>	+	The '''''Antlion''''' was an unusual Quad [[BattleMech]]; it was purpose-built by [[StarCorps Industries]] for the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] from their plant on [[Crofton]] to fill a tactical indirect fire support role.

−	Outclassed in direct combat by many 'Mechs, the ''Antlion'' wasn't designed to fight opponents directly; instead, the ''Antlion'' was designed to rain down indirect fire, preferably from cover some distance away. The [[Bloodhound active probe]] helped with this mission profile, but StarCorps also installed a [[remote sensor dispenser]] in the ''Antlion''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s left torso, acting as a force multiplier by allowing an ''Antlion'' to seed an area with sensors in anticipation of subsequent fire missions.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp38+"/>	+	Relatively slow despite the use of a GM SuperFusion 225 XL, [[XL Gyro]] and [[Small Cockpit]], the ''Antlion'' combined nine and a half tons of Light Ferro Fibrous armor with a [[Reinforced Structure]] for survivability, although a great deal of the ''Antlion'''s defense depended on the Bloodhound Active Probe each 'Mech was equipped with.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp38+"/>

−	The ''Antlion'' mounts a pair of [[Clan]]-tech [[Mech Mortar/4]], one in the left torso and one in the right, both fed by six tons of ammunition secured deep inside the right torso and protected by [[CASE II]].
