Description
A Solaris VII BattleMech, the Colossus was one of the first 'Mechs to use X-Pulse Lasers. Bethel Labs, the developers of the X-Pulse technology, wanted a demonstrator for their new technology. OmniTech Industries brushed off their Colossus design and the rest is history.
Using a standard engine, chassis, and armor, the Colossus can take enormous amounts of damage. Though not a particularly fast 'Mech, it does move at the same rate as the Atlas and other assault 'Mechs. In addition it has a 90 meter jump capability which can maneuver it out of trouble.
Armament
The Colossus' main armament is its Defiance Disintegrator LB 20-X Autocannon. For long-range backup it carries two Sutel Precision Line Large Pulse Lasers with Bethel Labs X-Pulse and two Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Lasers with Bethel Labs X-Pulse for medium-range backup. A Small Shield was installed on each arm for better protection.
Variants
- One variant removes all weapons as well as the two shields and mounts an ER Medium Laser and a PPC with Capacitor in each arm. The LB 20-X AC is replaced with a Gauss Rifle. It also mounts four Coolant Pods in its left and right torso.
