The fire ant is a ant-like light mech built around heat weapons.
==History==
The Fire Ant is an heat based mech platform whose shape is inspired by the ant.  The hexapede framework makes for a low profile stable mech platform.  Particularly for one of its weight class.  The Mech is Designed around harassing and crippling larger mechs with a variety of heat inducing armaments.  The Fire Ant however is far from a one trick pony with its cluster missiles and ant cannon.
With the rise of the Throgg and their bio-mechs the Fire Ant has seen some renewed interest.  While bio-mechs do not overheat, the flamers light them aflame, dealing aggravated damage over time.  Sometimes the best way to deal with the infestation is to just burn it out.

The fire ant is a ant-like light mech built around heat weapons.

History

The Fire Ant is an heat based mech platform whose shape is inspired by the ant. The hexapede framework makes for a low profile stable mech platform. Particularly for one of its weight class. The Mech is Designed around harassing and crippling larger mechs with a variety of heat inducing armaments. The Fire Ant however is far from a one trick pony with its cluster missiles and ant cannon.

With the rise of the Throgg and their bio-mechs the Fire Ant has seen some renewed interest. While bio-mechs do not overheat, the flamers light them aflame, dealing aggravated damage over time. Sometimes the best way to deal with the infestation is to just burn it out.
