Type/Model:    Roadrunner Utility Hovercraft 
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3025
Config:        Hovercraft
Rules:         Level 1-FA, Standard design

Mass:          5 tons
Power Plant:   25 InterComBust I.C.E.
Cruise Speed:  140.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 216.0 km/h
Armor Type:    Various Standard
Armament:      None
Manufacturer:  Quickcell Company
  Location:    Various
Communications System:  Various
Targeting & Tracking System:  None (manual gunners)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Roadrunner represents an interesting design on the part of Quikscell - it
actually works.

The design is simple: a high-speed cargo hovercraft. 1.75 tons of room for
cargo is more than enough for most civilian uses, and many military ones. The high speed of the unit enables it to get this cargo to wherever it needs to go in short order.    

==Variants:==
A plethora of variants exist.

*The most common variant has an ECM being mounted inside the cargo bay; this unit serves as a mobile ECM platform intended to confuse OPFOR sensors. The remaining .25 tons is usually used to mount a token quantity of additional armor, although it is sometimes left as cargo space so that commandos can ride along. 

*The second most common variant has a TAG or C3 Slave mounted inside the cargo bay so that the unit serves as a mobile spotter. .25 tons of armor are added, and depending upon the exact nature of the mission the remaining .5 tons is spent on either even more armor, space for commandos, or an RL 10.

*The third most common is an urban assault version used by SWAT and MP units. It boasts a vehicle flamer, a ton of ammo, and additional armor. An alternate version has a light machine gun, a half ton of ammo, and a 1-ton bay for police.

Love this part

"The Roadrunner represents an interesting design on the part of Quikscell - it

Please post the variants so it is easier to see cost and how it really loads out. For 5 tons and 32K, I take a dozen please.

TAG version; note that I chose to go with a .25 ton cargo bay and .5 tons of extra armor. You can trade out that extra armor for an RL 10 if you wish.

SWAT version. The edition of HM I have doesn't have light machine guns as an Inner Sphere weapon, and so I could only do the flamer version.
