The Coyotl was both ahead of and behind its time.
Although a natural conclusion to the easily removable
weapons of the Mercury, the violence at the end of the
Star League and the beginning of the Clans prevented
it from coming to fruition. In any other Clan the scientists
would not have had the freedom to explore the
advantages of quickly replaceable armament and
equipment. Early prototypes of the Coyotl included an
extended-range particle cannon with the rest of the
armament being based around that, but designers decided
that having the entire payload changeable would allow for
greater exibility.
While the Coyotl was an effective design in its own right,
as an OmniMech it shined even more. The ability to
change confoguration allowed it to dominate the strategic
battlefield. Sadly, the Coyotes rested on their laurels with
the Coyotl. The design was never updated and
replacement parts became scarce as factories were lost
when Coyote fortune waned. The Coyotl ceased
production in 2943 and the facility was mothballed.
Until 3061 The Coyotl, Lupus, Woodsman and Wakasashi languished in obscurity, then in a
trade with the Federated Commonwealth, The Coyotl,
Lupus and Woodsman and Wakasashi Designs were quietly and
discreetly acquired. Seeing the Potential in the Designs
Coventry, Defiance, General Motors, Achenar, Robinson,
and Tallon come together and pour over the designs.
The Coyotl was the first to become mass produced by
these companies. (the Merchant who let this slip by(with approval)
was made a public example to those who commit treason.)(he was a scapegoat)
Davion scientists reduced the OmniMech's engine from a
280 to a 240 rated engine. The Coyotl to deliver its
package of Twenty and a half tons of armament
wherever it is needed in a short period of time. Protecting
it are eight and a half tons of armor.
