================================================================================================
Overview:
A much larger version of the "Bristle Back," the Breach/Command Platform Model No. 142
"Thorn Back" is intended to lead "Bristle Backs" to the breaches they are to create. Built
with spotting equipment and a nice bevy of specialized ammunition for it's launchers, the
"Thorn Back" makes for an excellent frontline leader. Sharing the same speed with its sister
unit, it is able to stay in formation and close the distance to targets at a respectable
speed. Being well armored, it can shrug off what would disabling hits long enough to close
that gap into enemy defensive positions and then provide or coordinate a swift kick to
whatever is in its way. A downside to the vehicle is that it is almost three times as
expensive as the "Bristle Back," and the argument that tends to follow is if it's worth it
to even bother bringing a "Thorn Back" in the first place. Most of those arguments cease
when the engagement range closes and the battle ends with the OpFor's most valuable assets
go up in flames under well coordinated fire. It undoubtedly preforms its intended role very
well, and because of this, it is often sold in packages with its fellow machines.
