------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
We had known for some time that Johnston Industries had been working on some
new assault mech, and that this mech (aside from the electronics package and
heat sinks) would be an excercise in low-tech. What we didn't know was that
the result would be the Balrog.
Although the mech looks fairly boxy, it is still none-the-less imposing. It
has near-maximum armor, and can easily alpha-strike without generating any
surplus heat. Not only that, but it has a weapons load-out that is to be
feared by any light or medium mech.
What worries us, however, is the model designator - MSK-7D. MSK-6S was the
designator for the original Mackie, a mech we thought to have been lost over
the years. If Johnston Industries has uncovered an antique Mackies - or even
more startling the blueprints / molds, then they're keeping it very secret.
==Capabilities:==
Most of the mech's punch comes from the combination of a PPC, an AC/10, and
an AC/2. Both autocannons have two tons of ammo, meaning that the mech can
stay in the fight for some time without running low on ammo. Given that House
Davion is working with new types of munitions, however, we can only speculate
on the real reasons for the two tons.
Anyone wishing to close must face twin medium lasers and twin machine
guns. Although this is not much in the way of in-close firepower, by the time
it gets through the long-range barrage it's most likely hurting anyway. A
Bloodhound Probe and an Angel ECM back up the mix, providing fearsome
protection.

Another mech build along similar lines as the Akuma. Its carry 2 rocking weapons, the PPC and A/C10 that should keep most enemies at arms length. 2 medium lasers and 2 mgs can keep the lights away and the A/C2 can be useful at long range although i would prefer an LRM10 or 15.
could be a very devasting lvl1 - early lvl2 tech mech if not for those lvl3 electronics.
Care to enlighten why there are lvl3 electronic packages ? ;o

I did that to make it all the more psychologically fearsome (hence the name).
However, if they bother you so much just downgrade the systems and install two more medium lasers in their place. You'll have to watch your heat while in close-quarters, but it's back down to L2.
