Overview:
" Well, it is fast, that's for sure" A collective gasp went up from the spectators at the
Ground Zero proving grounds. The machine in question had just ignited jumpjets and lept half
way across the field in a single movement. " And mobile, too" replied another. " What's with
the sensor array sticking up like that? Looks like it has rabbit ears or something". Mark
Stonkin just smiled to himself. He had designed the mech to have just that visual effect.
the slender limbs, the bounding movments, and amazing jumping capability of the mech in
question were all carefully contrived to garner the image of a wild hare loping through the
desert. "Gentleman, I would like to introduce the latest release from Ground Zero Salvage
and Technology. Say hello to the Lago."
Capabilities:
Initially dubbed Jack Rabbit, the Lago has gone through several changes in development. A 25
ton scout design, it mounted no real sophisticated sensor packages and two torso mounted
medium lasers for defense. It was as fast as a Locust and could jump as far as a Spider.
Stonkin reviewed the design, then made several adjustments. The speed and mobility of the
mech were not changed, as these were deemed crucial to help the mech achieve its goal of
intel gathering and infiltration. The tonnage was increased to accomodate the larger XL
engine, and an active probe and advanced ECM suite were also included in the design. Though
the mech's appearance is a bit odd, test pilots have claimed the ride is " smooth as silk"
and much more stable than other four legged machines or even most two legged designs. The
Lago still mounts two forward firing medium lasers as well as a head mounted flamer, located
on a pintal mount under the cockpit. A small laser is mounted to the rear to provide quick
getaway coverage. Trials have been favorable, with the Lago outperforming, or on the level
with mechs of it's weight class, and mission profile. though it is not as fast as the Fey
mech, and does not pack the sophisticated equipment of the original Fey design, it has more
fire power and mobility than the stock Fey and is projected to out sell other GZT scout
designs.
Deployment:
The Lago has seen limited use with Stonkin Mechs, Inc 'merc unit while pirate hunting in the
Taurian Concordant. All reports have been favorable.
Variants:
there are no variants for the Lago at this time. One has been suggested, though. It would
replace the flamer and laser weapons payload with a single STREAK 2 and ammo with CASE.
Designers have decided this variation would detract from the Lago's current ability to work
for extended stays away from supply lines due to it's dependence on ammunition.

Comment:
A bunny of death? Well, it works for me. The weapons are nothing to be happy about, but the Lago shouldn't try to out-shoot the enemy. It has it's sensor array, speed and heavy armour to scout and leave the fighting to the others. I'd consider adding a C3 slave or a TAG in exchange for one of the lasers as additional variants (fire-breathing bunny is way too cool to drop the flamer ;D ).
