General Details
Name: ProtoMech Fusion Engine
Type (Category): Engine (Core)
Reference: TechManual (p. 214)
Description:
ProtoMech engines, the last of the major combat-rated fusion plants, are new not so much because they are particularly innovative, but because they were devised to maximize their power-to-weight ratios in the interests of improving ProtoMech viability when they debuted in 3060. Where standard combat-rated fusion engines are available only in power rating increments of five, ProtoMechs, with their smaller design mass increments, can benefit better from engines custom-built to their unique needs. Observers had identified ProtoMech engines as light as 250 kilograms in the field, though the theoretically smallest possible chassis could have an engine with a power rating of 4, weighing as little as 100 kilograms.
Game Rules:
The third critical torso hit destroys the engine and the ProtoMech, killing the pilot.
