Overview:
Mo Muraski of Battletechnic Military Salvage builds 'Mechs from the scraps his team acquires. These "frankensteins", as he calls them, are rarely constructed but the demand assures constant sales whenever this particular 'Mech is sold.
Capabilities:
The following is an excerpt from one of Mo Muraski’s commercials. We claim no responsibility in any way either Battletechnic Salvage, this 'Mech, or Mo Muraski.
"I did this 'Mech mostly to show that you can make a 'Mech out of scrap. The internal structure is composed from at least three 'Mechs, and the armor was made out of sheets of castaway outside an armor foundry. The LRMs are from a Gladiator, the large laser a Rifleman, the medium lasers a Stalker, the PPC a Panther. Don’t even ask how I got those jumpjets off the Victor. And the communications and targeting/tracking systems? Let’s just say you’ll trust them more if you don’t scrutinize them too closely. But it moves fine, and when it jumps you never saw such a sight in your life (trust me). The jumpjets, though ridiculously prone to breakdown (I don’t know how they even lift that eighty tons of drek into the air!), work okay, and the weapons work fine. See, even I can put together an assault 'Mech, given two years, some help, and a knack for scrounging."
Deployment:
Various Militias from various successor states have been grabbing this 'Mech as it becomes available. Due to its low cost and maintenance, Militia units find them to be a bargain especially as more money is shuffled to R&D projects, production of other 'Mechs, or more flashy units.
