== Description ==
 
== Description ==
A [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]], the '''''Morpheus''''' is a heavily-armored combatant. The high ground speed allow the ''Morpheus'' to close quickly, while the heavy armor protects the 'Mech and pilot from enemy fire. The ''Morpheus'' is basically a larger version of the ''[[Tsunami (BattleMech)|Tsunami]]'' medium arena fighter, and the engineers of Omnitech Industries learned many lessons from the ''Tsunami'''s disappointing appearance.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p.160</ref> Strangely, one thing they didn't bring over to the ''Morpheus'' was [[triple strength myomer]].

== Weapons and Equipment ==
Considering its size and armor protection, the ''Morpheus'' is somewhat underarmed for its role. The ''Morpheus''&#39;s main weapons are its [[Claw]] and [[Spikes]] which are backed up by three [[Diverse Optics]] [[ER medium laser]]s and a single [[Poland Main Model C]] [[Magshot]]. The heavy armor allows the ''Morpheus'' to close with an opponent and inflict damage via the melee weapons.
