================================================================================================
Overview:
A certain software company stuck on Terra that once dominated its market in the late 20th
century decided to move out of producing expensive office software to making Mechs full of
the latest technology.
Cramming as much electronic warfare equipment on a tiny chasis as possible, the company
created a technological marvel.
Unfortunately, the resulting mech was horrendously slow, plagued with bugs and highly
dubious choices of colour within the interior cockpit. (like lime green panels with a orange
command chair...)
Capabilities:
The Microsloth has a Beagle Probe, TAG and Narc system and is protected by an ER SL and a
RL/15.
Deployment:
Building just one of these Mechs resulted in the company folding.

Wow! A mech that can be destroyed by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete in any cockpit on the field (or stronger wind). This fluff makes it great, must show it to my friends (they need target practice).

I have to agree with everyone else, great fluff text.
Other wise this would get a .5. The Universes 1st 20 ton paperweight.

This is the first "5" I have ever given. And for a good reason.
The mech's name, first of all, is really good at tellin what it is.
Then the fluff. Man the fluff. The fluff is fantastic. It goes innto enough detail to explain just how horrible the mech is.
Slow speed, wretched armour and no weapons (saying that a RL/15 is used once and and ER small laser is just about enought to clean your teeth) tell everyone "hey, target practice is up!!!"
The mech itself is worthless. The RL is used once and cannot do anything if it misses, the laser is useless as mechs would stay out of range and knock the mech away, and the amrour is enough to that a kid with a BB gun could total it.
The only impressive thing is its elecronics. On a faster mech, sayyyy a 35 tonner with a bigger engine, the mech would be a nightware to deal with. HOwever, other reviewers have put things quite simply:
1) great fluff
2) disgusting mech
3) nice electronics packedge.

XL engine! XL engine! This one really needs an XL engine! You could do something really great with that half ton!
lol. This is what a 'Mech should be. And with good fluff to boot. I give it a higher rating than the 'Mech itself deserves because it's just such great fluff, and we all get the point that the design itself isn't that useful in-game. Bravo.
And now to give it more thought than it really derves: Maybe this could follow Annihilators around and spot targets. Have an Annihilator and this in the city, and a hoard of LRM and Arrow missile 'Mechs hidden. They'll never see it coming. "You have been Microshafted! Have a nice day!"
