Scorpion Light Tank - "The ELITE Collection"
« on: 11 September 2018, 21:49:30 »
From the proud creators at Quickscell.

Style...

               Quality...

                                    Totally working on arrival...


This new collection has passed the gauntlet of Quickscell ingenuity and quality. Gone are the days of the old and clunky internal combustion engine. The new scorpion has been upgraded to a fusion engine to give it increased speed and flexibility. The autocannon was traded for a PPC and an SRM launcher.  Become the god of thunder and lay waste to your enemies. Feel the coziness of the design, indulge in its heating system in arctic climates as you fire the PPC. Some new features include cup holders, fuzzy dice, turn signals, a recliner that functions as a massage chair to make those bumpy rides the best rides of your life, a record player, and even a humidor with your choice of cigars (Please do not light cigars near the humidor since it also stores the machine gun ammo). No, those aren't breaches in the shielding, that is the sheer radiance of class and the essence of glory. You deserve it. You need it. The Scorpion Elite.

No offence intended FF, however I understand if you take it, but Quikcell, Scorpion, and elite just don't seem to go together IMO.
I would think Quikcell's marketing people would strongly recommend rebranding a fusion powered, PPC armed Scorpion as something else entirely.
Otherwise it certainly has that Scorpion feel: relatively cheap, fragile but dangerous in numbers.

Interesting idea; the notion that a company like Quickcell or JES using a fusion powerplant is a scary notion given their history of 'quality control'.

Another variant is to replace the PPC with a large laser and add a couple of extra tons of armor.   It loses some range with its primary weapon but no longer has to worry about opponents getting inside the minimum range   Instead of a sniper it becomes an urban combat specialist as well as a kind of bargain-basement scout killer.
