Overview:
The Mach V was created by the SLDF in response to the clan Cheetah OmniMech. Filling the
same role as the Cheetah Prime, the Mach V mounts more armor, but less firepower by an ER
Medium Laser. It makes up for that in part by the fact that it has no arm mounted weapons,
and TSM which can be activated by shutting off all HS for one turn, then re-activating only
9 to keep it at perfect heat to run and fire all weapons.
Capabilities:
With it's TSM activated the Mach V outperforms the clan Cheetah in all respects, including
damage potential in close. The only downside is that it has to be at range 1 to bring in the
extra power of it's punches.

Weapons are nothing extra, but armor and speed are excellent. ECM and Beagle are always useful. I don't think, that TSM will see much use and cost is quite high.

Its fast, its average. Its XL engined. It has TSM it can't actually activate.
The Beagle and ECM help even out the XL issue. but I keep thinking a lot of things on this design are subpar. As it stands its a good design with a slew of flaws and benefits.

The electronics package is nice, but it can't get into the thick of the fight by any means, even with it's good speed. A good strong hit to any of it's torsos will kill this. Find the enemy, and then run away if you want to live.

Maybe I'm just partial to speed demons, but I love this design. I have every since I created it :) I am highly partial to mech's with excessive speed, and also to TSM. To me the modifiers generated by such excessive speed are worth a lot, especially when I can mount a decent weapons array on it and use Max Tech movement mods. Also however any unit needs a good scout, which the Mach V definitly IS.

I like little speed demon mechs, so this one fits right in. It does not do a whole lot of damage unless you get close enough to punch but still a decent amount for a 25 tonner.The speed is excellent and the armor is even good for a little mech. With the electronics package, it is a good scout.
