Description
The Mastodon is an Assault OmniMech originally built by the Rasalhague Dominion and its Clan Ghost Bear brethren.[1]
Spurred by the Clan Hell's Horses invasion of 3147, this unusually ponderous design marks a shift in the Dominion's preferred combat doctrine, previously focused around swift, agile attackers. The result is a powerful, resilient Omnimech capable of filling both defensive and heavy assault roles.[1]
Built by Jötunn BattleWorx of Goito and walking off production lines in 3148, the Mastodon was built to weather whatever its enemy could possibly throw at it. A steadfast assault platform, its 285-rated Extra-Light Engine gives it fairly typical mobility for a 'Mech of its role, while its 15 and a half tons of IceSheet Ferro-Fibrous Armor along with 45 tons of pod space ensures it can withstand heavy punishment while dishing out the same in return.[1]
Weapons and Equipment
The design's Prime Configuration is geared towards long range firepower, which comes in the form of a powerful ER PPC in each arm as well as a pair of Streak LRM-20s, one mounted in each side torso and supplied by four tons of CASE II-protected ammunition. Nineteen Double Heat Sinks ensure the 'Mech runs cool, even after a full alpha strike.[3]
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- A sniper configuration, this arrangement equipment range of ballistic and energy weapons for range attacks. This firepower comes in form of a right arm mounted Gauss Rifle which has 16 rounds of ammunition. An LRM-15 Launcher with Artemis IV is fitted in right torso, carrying sixteen volley of fire. All ammunition is found in the right torso, protected by CASE II. Not to deny the 'Mech any close range defense, three Large Pulse Lasers are fitted in the left arm. Six additional Double Heat Sinks are added to help migrate the Alpha's weapons heat. BV(2.0) = 2,856[3]
- Alternate Configuration B
- Intended in the Juggernaut role, the Beta configuration well rounded array of weaponry gear mostly for close range combat. Its long range firepower comes from a single Streak LRM-20 with two tons of ammunition. Close combat weapons include; a pair of Streak SRM-4 launchers found in right arm, with four Medium Pulse Lasers alongside them. However, the configuration's primary weapon in short & medium ranges comes in form of a massive LB X-20 Autocannon mounted in the left arm. The 'Mech's 15 rounds of ammunition is protected by the left torso with added CASE II, with all of the missules stored in the right. Four additional Double Heat Sinks are added as well. BV (2.0) = 2,793[3]
- Alternate Configuration C
- Another Juggernaut of the original four Configurations, the Charlie relies on energy weapons verses ballistics of the Beta. Its primary weapon is a Gauss Rifle, its 16 rounds of ammo are fitted in right torso. For general combat, the left arm houses an ER PPC, with 4 ER Medium Lasers in the left torso. For anti-vehicle / infantry purposes, the right torso houses three fiery Plasma Cannons with their 30 rounds of ammo. Eight additional Double Heat Sinks added as well BV (2.0) = 3,092[3]
- Alternate Configuration D
- Intended as fire support configuration, the Delta comes with four LRM-15 launchers, a pair of the launcher fitted to each of the 'Mech's arms, and two LRM-20 launchers, one per torso. All 88 volleys of missile are split between the side torso missile bays and single ton per arm. Not completely dependent on the Launchers, four additional Medium Pulse Lasers are added, split between each of the arms. BV (2.0) = [3]
