Named after the [http://www.theoi.com/Titan/AnemosNotos.html Greek Goddess of the south wind], the ''Notos'' is a more refined QuadVee design in comparison to it's earlier predecessors. Retaining the best qualities of the previous models, the machine has been built to support a diverse array of weapon and equipment configurations, while also taking advantage of using wheels in place of tank treads. The additional speed provided by the wheeled design - the speed perk being one not normally seen in its weight class - would help the ''Notos'' gain some acceptance among the Hell's Horses' highly mobile Cavalry and Ranger [[Cluster]] formations.<ref name=xtro:r3Notos/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Designed as an OmniMech, the ''Notos'' can call upon 15 tons worth of equipment allowed by its omnipods. While it sports a modest 12.5 tons of [[standard armor]] protection from enemy fire, its true innovation comes with its unique ability: transformation into a combat vehicle. Powered by a 300-Rated Extra-Light Fusion Engine, the vehicular ''Notos'' can travel at up to a swift 95 km/h, while in 'Mech mode it can move at a solid 80 km/h. This high speed gives it the capability to keep pace with fast combat formations. Unlike its predecessors, the ''Notos'' can move significantly faster over flat terrain thanks to its incorporation of wheels rather than tank treads. Taking advantage of its 4-ton dual cockpit with its dedicated driver-gunner arrangement, the ''Notos'' Prime Configuration can easily concentrate its weapons payload of five highly accurate Medium Pulse Lasers on any part of a foe with the aid of a Targeting Computer. A standard ten Laser Heat Sinks help cope with any excess heat, and the Prime Configuration also features a [[Supercharger]], boosting the ''Notos'''s Quad 'Mech speed up to 100 km/h in brief bursts.<ref name=xtro:r3Notos/> ==Alternate Configurations== *;Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration is fitted with a single [[HAG 20|Class-20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle]] with two tons of ammunition in its right torso, providing the QuadVee a rather dangerous long range reach. A pair of [[ER Small Laser]]s are also mounted in the left torso to provide backup at close range.

Two [[ER Medium Lasers]] are mounted in its center torso to round out this ''Notos'' configuration's weaponry. BV(2.0)=1,877<ref name=xtro:r3Notos/><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7372/notos-b MUL Profile of the Notos B]</ref> *; Alternate Configuration C : Intended for intermediate and close range combat, the C configuration has a varied array of weapons. Its main anti-vehicle and -Mech firepower comes from a pair of [[Improved Heavy Medium Laser]]s, backed up by three [[SRM-6|6-Tubed Short Range Missile Launchers]]. A pair of [[Anti-Personnel Gauss Rifle]]s is added to help the design deal with [[battle armor]] and other infantry threats. The configuration also features an [[active probe]], [[ECM Suite]], and [[Light TAG]] to give the design better utility to other combat units on the field. BV(2.0)=1,632<ref name=xtro:r3Notos/><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7373/notos-c MUL Profile of the Notos C]</ref> *;Alternate Configuration D : Configured for long-range combat and as a sniper, this configuration mounts a pair of [[Extended Range Large Laser]]s in either side of its turret-like torso. A Targeting Computer and three additional Laser Heat Sinks are added as well to assist this configuration in performing effectively.
