Description

The Siren ProtoMech was designed to serve as a reconnaissance unit. It's extremely high speed allowed it to rush forward, find enemy forces, call in a missile strike, and evacuate without the enemy being able to see them. Given the light armor it carries, the Siren's best defense was the high speed.

Armament

As the Siren was intended to be a scout and observer, it doesn't mount heavy weapons. In fact it only carries a Light Machine Gun in each arm.

Variants

  • Siren 2 - Introduced during the 3060s, this variant of the Siren was upgraded with regular Machine Guns. BV (2.0) = 86[4]
  • Siren 3 - The second variant introduced during the 3060s, this armed with pair SRM 1 Launchers split between the Protomech's two arms. The weapon been given 100 rounds of split between the two launchers. To fit the large weapons, the Siren's speed has been reduced to 120 km/ph. BV (2.0) = 120[5]
  • Siren 4 - Introduced during the torrent fighting of the Jihad, the fourth variant of the Siren was armed with a torso mounted ER Micro Laser. In addition, Siren's speed was increased with use of MASC to briefly 200 km/ph from its usual 100 km/ph. BV (2.0) = 88[6]
  • Siren 5 - Slightly slower than Siren 4, this version of the Siren is given single AP Gauss Rifle with a ton of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 105[7]
