The resulting 'Mech is a force to be reckoned with on the modern battlefield. The '''''Templar''''' is built on a lightweight Kallon Type XIX [[Endo Steel]] chassis and is powered by a KalTek 340 [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 64.8 km/h without sacrificing durability. The ''Templar'' has thirteen fixed [[double heat sink]]s and is armored with sixteen and a half tons of Starshield A armor with [[CASE]] fixed in the right torso. Overall, this allows the ''Templar'' to have forty tons of free pod space for weapons and equipment which the 'Mech uses effectively in its various configurations. |

For effective long range hitting power, the ''Templar'' carries a powerful [[Gauss Rifle]]. If the ''Templar'' does close with an enemy, it can bring its highly accurate [[Large Pulse Laser]], [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and two [[ER Medium Laser]]s to bear on a target. For increased accuracy, the Gauss Rifle and all the lasers are linked to an advanced [[Targeting Computer]]. The ''Templar'' Prime has a [[Streak SRM-4]] launcher for seeking weak points in an enemy's armor. |
