Finally got around to doing a pic of a mech I designed.
The Desperado is a flexible design due to a unique modular attachment point beneath it's primary weapon, the LPPC, that allows a variety of components to be attached depending on mission needs. While not an actual omnimech, being able to swap out a variety of one-ton components in the field with minimal time and equipment does a good job of faking it.
The name comes from the appearance of the first two versions and the usual role of it on the battlefield as a scout/harassment/sharpshooter/troublemaker in general.
The weapons of A-model with a capacitor beneath it's LPPC resembles an old-style revolver and the ones on the B-model with an ERML resemble the old lever-action rifles that stored ammo in a tube running under the barrel.
It's targeting computer lets it be a deadly accurate sniper at long range and it's six JJs allow it to easily bug out of trouble when things get to hectic.
The A-model utilizes a PPC capacitor for increased firepower at range while the B-model is equipped with an ERML for shooting other light mechs in the face if they try to crowd it.
Other versions include the C-model which uses an ER flamer for those pesky crunchies and general good-natured mayhem, while the D-model is a snitchy little bugger with a TAG unit for calling big brother to come beat up those meanies who give it a hard time.
The E-model used a C3 slave unit to coordinate with the rest of the posse, and the F-model uses a pair of RL 10s because explosions are a hoot.
Lastly the F-model is a scout that uses a recon camera and searchlight for finding interesting things it might want to come back and shoot later, and the G-model uses a chaff dispenser because courage is for people who don't get shot at enough.
The H-model uses a small X-pulse laser because why the heck not?
Yee-haw!
