These features make it a flexible combatant, able to keep up with scout [[BattleMech|'Mechs]] while supporting them.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The SRM and LRM missile launchers provide much of the striking power of the ''Centaur'', which then uses the [[ER Micro Laser]] to finish off opponents who have been damaged by the missile racks. The only drawback to the ''Centaur's'' weaponry is the lack of reloads for the missile systems. With just ten reloads for the SRM-2s and only eight for the LRM rack, a ''Centaur'' pilot can rapidly deplete his ammunition stocks. Its armoring is also relatively light; a single hit from a [[Large Laser]] will penetrate the center torso. The 45-rated fusion engine helps it maintain a good cruising speed of 65 km/h<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Variants== *;''Centaur'' 2 : Developed during the 3060s, this variant utilizes then-newly developed Heavy Laser technology.
