Description

Created as the ultimate expeditionary vehicle, built with military grade technology to meet the needs of explorers. The design was not terribly successful, but enough to keep in limited production for nearly a decade. Previous mechs used as "ExplorerMechs" were simply retrofitted Battlemechs, that had been customized for exploration.

Armament & Features

Meah has environmental sealing in all its locations to keep hazardous environments from getting in. The mech has a collapible two man cabin mounted on it rear torso which can be used only when mech is stationary. It has a small observation platform bridging across its shoulders. The mech features a salvage arm in its left arm, four ton cargo bay location in right torso, and search light mounted it center torso. For self-defense, the mech has a small laser mounted in its right arm.

Variants

The series 6 and 7 model Marcos were created for the SLDF. These mechs came equipt with integrated sattelite uplink, remote-controled floodlights and modular too-mount on the right arm. The remaining Marcos that exist as of 3070, are of these variants.
