So I got the idea for this when I got my kids the Gen 1 cartoon series on dvd. I forgot how much I liked his character, (and how cheesy the cartoons were but hey, I still enjoy them). I know the fluff is a bit crazy but /shrug I guess its as likley as the the whole dark ages thing Rolling Eyes

Code:

==Overview:==
The peace after the clan war has created some strange bedfellows. One strange partnership is the partnership between WiE, the Kell Hounds and Comstar. During a closed door meeting Khan Phelen, Morgan and Victor came to an agreement, Mostly to help bolster forces for the eventual renewal of the clan war. After sending techs to WiE to consult and help refurbish some mech and weapon factory lines. The heads of the groups sat down and over dinner started to exchange various ideas for new mechs. the Kell Hounds tech also happens to be a huge Animation buff, and a fair artist in his spare time. One of his dreams was to create  a mech fashioned after one of his favorite old cartoon characters "Starscream" from the old Transformers cartoon. So as they talked about the new design he sat and sketched the over all appearance.

==Capabilities:==
Though it dosent redefine mech design, it appears to be a solid design, with decent damage potential and a excellent electronics package. Clan grade ECM and Probe units make the Starscream a useful heavy scout. The Tag unit allows for artillery strikes. The weapons are decent but they lack the stopping power of heavier weapons, 2 LG Pulse lasers and a quartet of of Streak 4's give the mech a respectable punch. Clan warriors are a little turned off by weapons, but the Starscream does use the same standard Omni mech parts to allow for easy replacement and repair. So it appears that this may be a new Clan Omni but that remains to be seen. As far as the Comstar and Kell Hounds go, the Starscream is being recieved with open arms.
