*****

I created this unit for a campaign that I'm going to do. According to the fluff text, when the unit's sensors are running at full capacity the unit often has a hard time detecting in-coming enemies until it's too late.

Well, that's what happened. The pilot was so busy scanning that he didn't notice a pair of incoming Warrior H7s until it was too late. A pair of lucky shots to the center torso disabled the gyroscope, and in the fall the pilot was knocked unconscious, preventing him from self-destructing the mech. The pilot, minus his machine, was later repatriated to his unit as a part of an exchange.

The faction that recovered the mech decided to make the best of a good situation and not only did they repair the gyroscope but they also took the liberty to make a few more alterations. Note that the mech is actually .36 tons underweight; for my purposes it'll either be more sensor gear or a slightly bigger cockpit (still haven't decided).

It would actually make more sense if the TAG was in the head and that third ER Small was in the center torso.

With the TAG, you can nestle it in with the existing electronics, while you can feed the ER Small off of the ER Medium like in the fluff text for the Wyvern.
