Description
The Vulture is a Heavy BattleMech used by the Clans. It is one of their most used designs. With its hunched shoulders and protruding head, this 'Mech resembles the vulture for which it is named. Tagged the Vulture by MechWarriors in the Free Rasalhague Republic and in the Draconis Combine, this 'Mech also has bird-like legs that enhance the comparison. The huge twin missile racks on its shoulders give the 'Mech its hunched look, but its overall appearance changes very little when other weapons pods are installed. In its primary configuration, the Vulture serves mostly as a fire-support 'Mech. First seen first in the Draconis Combine and the Free Rasalhague Republic, the Vulture has since appeared in the armed forces of all the Clans. (1)
