Description
The Horned Owl, or Peregrine as the Inner Sphere designated it, is a light, fast second-line BattleMech capable of highly accurate fire. A harassing platform, the Horned Owl is also a capable dueling 'Mech. Five tons of ferro-fibrous armor provide adequate protection for the light 'Mech.
Weapons and Equipment
Armed with a single large pulse laser in the center torso and a medium pulse laser in each arm, the Horned Owl's devastatingly accurate fire can quickly destroy other light 'Mechs.
Variants
- Horned Owl 3
- Unlike the 2, this variant returns to a design similar to the original. In place of the large pulse laser there is an ER PPC tied to a targeting computer, allowing the variant to snipe efficiently. In place of the medium pulse lasers are two trios of light machine guns, allowing the design to deal with infantry should it need to. BV (1.0) = ?, BV (2.0)=1,545[8][9]
- Horned Owl 4
- Almost a complete redesign, the Horned Owl was redone by Clan Goliath Scorpion after they took over the Abysmal continent on Huntress. The 'Mech is no longer so neatly rounded, but it makes up for that with four ATM-3s and an ER medium laser. Three tons of ammunition allow the pilot access to all of the ATM's modes of fire, and it runs cool. BV (1.0) = 1,241, BV (2.0)=1,198[10]
- Horned Owl 5
- Ironically, the Scorpion's first attempt at redesigning the Horned Owl was not well received by their Warrior caste, but an all-energy version is ideal for their Seekers. Armed with an ER large laser in each arm and a center-line heavy medium laser, this model can essentially operate indefinitely, though its pilot must be wary of heat buildup, despite the added double heat sink. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,523[11]
- Horned Owl 6
- This model of the Horned Owl carries a large pulse laser and two medium pulse lasers. The jump jets have been removed and replaced by a targeting computer. BV (2.0) = 1,413[12]
- Horned Owl 7
- Also known as the Shimafukuro, this variant reduces the top speed to 86 km/h and uses a partial wing to jump 210 meters at a time. A light TAG system is mounted in the head, and each arm carries a medium pulse laser, but the main firepower comes from an ER large laser. All the weapons are tied into a targeting computer. BV (2.0) = 1,725[13]
Design Quirks
The Horned Owl has the following Design Quirks:[14]
Notes
- In German products, the unit's proper Clan name was translated to Uhu. The unit's proper Inner Sphere name was altered to Frostfalke, which literally means Frost Falcon. This was supposedly done to prevent a mix-up with the Peregrine VTOL.
- Appearance-wise, the old Unseen design from TRO:3055 has a strong passing resemblance to the Zaku-II, from the first Gundam anime series. Namely, it uses what appears to be a mono-eye visor and appears similarly bulky to a Zaku-II and also has a similar pose used in official artwork.
