Description
The Owens is intended to be an OmniMech upgrade of the Jenner BattleMech, with the intended role being that of cavalry 'Mech that can move along the enemy lines and designate targets for bombardment with Arrow IV artillery attacks. The Owens is a strong spotting unit for artillery and semi-guided LRMs as well as a point 'Mech for C3 lances, with its permanently mounted TAG laser designator and C3 slave unit. The Owens is also outfitted with a permanently mounted Beagle active probe that allows the 'Mech to detect hidden enemy units. The Owens has a top speed of 129.6 km/h and is protected with seven tons of armor, and the 'Mech's unique mix of speed, armor, and electronic warfare equipment make the Owens a valuable asset in urban and dense woods or jungle environments where it can find an enemy unit that is hidden, designate them for an artillery strike, and then leave the area at high speeds.[3][6]
Weapons and Equipment
The Primary configuration of the Owens is meant to stay at stand-off ranges when possible, using its two LRM-5 launchers. If forced into close range combat, the Owens can bring its medium laser and two small lasers to bear.[3][6]
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- The A configuration is intended to close with an enemy for combat where it can take best advantage of its TAG and C3 slave unit. The 'Mech is armed with two Streak SRM-2 launchers, two machine guns, and a small pulse laser.[1] BV (1.0) = 551;[3][7] BV (2.0) = 680[1][8]
- Alternate Configuration C
- Intended to be used in long term campaigns where supply lines may be strained, the Owens C carries an arsenal consisting purely of energy weapons. Carrying a large laser for long range combat, the Owens C can bring two medium lasers to bear once it has closed with an enemy.[1] BV (1.0) = 729;[3][11] BV (2.0) = 964[1][12]
- Alternate Configuration D
- The D configuration is built to further the electronic warfare capabilities of the Owens. The 'Mech carries in this configuration a Narc missile beacon to mark enemy units for massed missile fire from allied units, and carries a single SRM-4 launcher for defense.[1] BV (1.0) = 526;[3][13] BV (2.0) = 655[1][14]
- Alternate Configuration F
- Introduced during the Jihad, the Owens F marries a light PPC and two ER small lasers to a targeting computer. To interfere with the Blakists' advanced computers, it carries a Guardian ECM suite, and a single A-Pod provides some protection against infantry. BV (2.0) = 933[17]
- Alternate Configuration G
- A Dark Age configuration, this Owens carries a single TSEMP Cannon in the right torso. A supercharger on the engine allows the Owens to reach a top speed of 160 km/h. BV (2.0) = 1,761[18]
- Alternate Configuration R
- A field upgrade developed in the midst of Operation Bulldog, this configuration used captured Clan Smoke Jaguar weapons to help bolster the SLDF forces in later waves. Based on the E, it retains the MRM-10 launcher but replaces the standard and pulse lasers with three Clan ER medium lasers.[19] BV (2.0) = 1,215[20]
Design Quirks
The Owens has the following Design Quirk:[21]

Notes
- The 'Mech made a cameo appearance in the Japanese Anime OVA, Date A Live, where character Tohka Yatogami uses a simulator pod, which resembles the arcade pods for Kidō Senshi Gundam: Senjō no Kizuna across Japan, in an arcade to blow up an Owens BattleMech.[22]
