Description
The Marauder II was first built in 3012 in an attempt to take the firepower of the Marauder and combine it with the reliability and ruggedness of an assault chassis. This was achieved by generally upgrading the entire 'Mech's chassis to allow it to carry a much heavier armor and weapons load. The 'Mech was then armored with nineteen tons of armor, giving it protection that rivals that of the Atlas. Finally, to make up for the reduced mobility of the Marauder II, the 'Mech was outfitted with jump jets that give it a jumping capability of up to ninety meters.
Armament
The Marauder II carries as its primary weapons a pair of Magna Firestar ER PPCs which give it a powerful long range punch. The ER PPCs are backed up by a Mydron Excel LB-X Autocannon/10 which gives the Marauder II the tactical flexibility of using both solid and cluster rounds. Finally, for close range combat, the Marauder II carries two Magna Mk II Medium Lasers.
Variants
- MAD-4A - The 4A Marauder II is built using technology available in 3012 when the design was first constructed. The 'Mech carries as its primary weapons two PPCs and replaces the Autocannon/5 of the original Marauder with a Large Laser. For close combat, the 'Mech carries a pair of Medium Lasers. Additionally, the 'Mech is built using a standard fusion engine as the XL Engine used on the 5A was not available at the time. BV (1.0) = 1,769, BV (2.0) = 2,073
- MAD-4H - The 4H Marauder II is a modification of the Marauder II that removes the LB-X Autocannon/10 and replaces it with four Rocket Launcher 20s, six Rocket Launcher 15s, and a Rocket Launcher 10 which gives the 4H incredible close range damage capabilities. BV (1.0) = 1,849, BV (2.0) = 2,180
- MAD-4S - The 4S Marauder II uses the new Light Fusion Engine to make it less vulnerable to a side torso destruction. The 'Mech carries two ER PPCs as its primary weapons and two ER Medium Lasers for close ranges. For added punch at medium to short ranges, the 4S carries a Heavy Gauss Rifle. BV (1.0) = 2,249, BV (2.0) = 2,623
- Marauder II C - The Marauder II C is a variant specially built for Wolf's Dragoons using Clan technology. The 'Mech is powered by a 400 rated XL Engine, which allows to to have a maximum speed of 64.8 kph, which matches the original Marauder. Additionally, the 'Mech is armed with two ER PPCs, two ER Medium Lasers, and an LB-X Autocannon/10. Finally, the Marauder II C has excellent mobility provided by its jump jets with a jumping distance of one hundred and twenty meters. BV (1.0) = 2,991, BV (2.0) = 2,916
