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.
