History

Sources have revealed that a secluded manufacturing facility has found a small supply of lost-tech schematics. The head corporation approved its integration to their current secret project the Proponent MKII. This plant was one of three major manufacturing plants for the original Proponent. Rumor has it that they gutted the facilities and focused solely on the new model. The enhancements to this new mech make it extremely fast for its 80 ton weight class. The mech comes equipped with a pair of Clan Heavy Large Lasers, a pair of Clan Heavy Plasma Cannons capable of dealing accurate damage at range and a chassis mounted Medium Range Missile system good for showering the area or its targets with it’s incendiary missiles. The real gem of the new enhancements is the NitroXchanger, a new hybrid utility functioning as a always on heatsink but also having the integration of a multi use coolant device. This makes the Proponent MKII hard to slow down even in the hottest of environments or heated battles.

Description

The proponent is a bipedal mecha with a cleaner-then-average paintjob with its default colors. It houses two large shoulder mounted lasers and large arm mounted plasma launchers. The missile launchers are hardmounts loaded into the stomach of the mech itself. It's a rather large mech, but it moves well for its size with powerful digitigrade legs.

Tactics

The lasers are powerful, but the lack the straight out DPS to match other less-instant weapons. They are best used at range where you can let the better accuracy play to your advantage. The Squid missiles and Heavy Clan Plasma Cannons make for a hard to evade assault if aimed at the feet of your target. The two weapons combined can be tricky to use simultaneously due to their differing attack styles. Though they do create a good mid to long ranged threat. The Nitro Exchanger is much like a weak coolant system strapped to a triple heat sink.
