Overview:
The first collaborative project between Tyrlon United and the Republic of the sphere, the
Rubicons' underslung Heavy bridge-layer was developed and manufactured with the advanced
metallurgy and engineering expertise of T.U.
The Rubicon is a machine of simple purpose, to establish safe crossings for allied ground
forces.
In pursuit of this, with its reinforced legs and wide stance, it largely sacrifices the
usual capacity to hunker down behind cover which most quadmechs boast.
Refinement of the prominent, turreted, coolant jacket clad "Hyper-Laser" has been rocky but
it's projected that all major system flaws will be resolved before retooling begins for the
Rubicon to enter full production.
The Rubicon also features anti-air targeting software to guide an ER-Medium Laser, and an AP
Gauss rifle to dissuade infantry.
Each sourced from Clan Sea Fox.
It also boasts an umbrella of RISC anti-missile protection, with one ton of ammunition
stored in CASEII alongside the diminutive Gauss
And, should the Hyper-Laser not dissuade enemies from the Rubicons' flock, it mounts a smoke
launcher to provide concealment.
Tyrlon United has poured heart and soul into this design.
They're certain it will fulfill a vital role for combined arms far into the future.
Capabilities:
Positive Quirks:
Improved Cooling Jacket I (Hyper Laser) (1pt),
Anti-Aircraft Targeting (4pt)
Negative Quirks:
Oversized (-2pt)
Difficult to Maintain (-1pt)
