This is your Locust on JumpJets. Have fun utterly slaughtering infantry and stomping on them better. XL and Endo nessisary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The LCT-H1 Locust is a crazed design that involves the total rebuild of a
Locust using Endo Steel and an XL engine to build in 1/5 of the mechs mass to
jumpjets, allowing it to jump an unparrelled 240 meters. 

==Capabilities:==
The LCT-H1 mounts the same guns and armor. The only difference is the
expensive materials engines, and the rocket boosters.

Actually no. The inability to turn on the jump plus the fact that they get heavy makes it a bad idea.

Those jump boosters were meant as a joke. actually they would represent another funny thing on funny mech (Locust with XL engine is funny, but not much more)
