A serious knife fighter, it carries a dazzling array of short-range weaponry that makes the design brutally effective in an urban environment. Adding to this is its deliberately imposing design, with thick, angular plates of armor. Though the ''Matador'' is slow for a 'Mech its size, it does make use of [[jump jet]]s that allow it to jump up to 120 meters. A hefty twelve tons of armor ensures that those armor slabs are not just for show.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Four Series XII Rotary [[Machine Gun]]s and two Chi Series [[Small Pulse Laser]]s provide a barrage of anti-[[infantry]] fire, while two Series 2b [[Extended Range Medium Laser]]s and three Lambda [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s provide it with short- to medium-range fire.

The variant's long-range weapon is its torso mounted [[ATM-9|9-Tubed ATM Launcher]], with three tons of ammunition. For close-range fighting, the 'Mech has been given three [[Heavy Medium Lasers]] mounted in the left arm. For anti-infantry combat, it has a trio of [[AP Gauss Rifle|AP Gauss Rifles]] in its right arm.
