Description
The Executioner, known as the Gladiator in the Inner Sphere, is an assault OmniMech often deployed by Clan Ghost Bear. Using a massive Heavy Force 380 XL Engine, the Executioner has a top speed of 64.8 km/h. A MASC system enhances the top speed to 86.4 km/h (albeit only in short bursts), and four permanently mounted Pryzhok WM10 Jump Jets give the 'Mech the ability to propel itself 120 meters into the air. This unusual emphasis on speed gives the Executioner an unmatched speed for it's weight class, as it is often capable of keeping up with 'Mechs twenty or thirty tons lighter than itself. The Executioner carries thirteen and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, which is below average for it's weight class, but generally adequate. Sixteen Double Heat Sinks are mounted to cool the 'Mech down.
Armament
The Executioner's primary configuration uses it's mobility to keep enemies as far away as possible. A Gauss Rifle is the 'Mech's primary weapon, backed up by dual ER Large Lasers, which give it excellent direct firepower. For use against soft targets and possibly any light vehicles that manage to close the ranges, the Executioner carries two Machine Guns. This makes the Executioner very effective in an open battlefield, but makes it virtually useless should it encounter a faster enemy with enough firepower, or a physical barrier.
Variants
- Alt. Config. A - The Executioner A equips the 'Mech with much needed close-range firepower. Three Large Pulse Lasers can inflict excellent damage, and are more accurate, to compensate for any jumping the Executioner B may be doing. Four ER Medium Lasers back this up, and finally this configuration also carries the Machine Guns of the primary configuration. BV (1.0) = 2,761
- Alt. Config. B - The Executioner B is configured to be able to engage an enemy at any range. For long range combat, the 'Mech carries a deadly ER PPC. When an enemy closes ranges, the Executioner B has a rapid-fire, and also deadly Ultra Autocannon/20, which is backed by an ER Medium Laser. To shield the 'Mech from indirect fire, the Executioner B also mounts an Anti-Missile System. BV (1.0) = 2,783
- Alt. Config. C - Armed in a similar vein as the B configuration, the Executioner C mounts a LRM-20 missile rack as a long-range, indirect-fire weapon. An Artemis IV FCS is attached to the LRM for increased accuracy. The Executioner C also carries an Ultra Autocannon/20, which is also backed by a laser, although it has been downgraded to an ER Small Laser. A Targeting Computer is attached to the laser and autocannon, greatly improving their accuracy. BV (1.0) = 2,531
- Alt. Config. D - Another close combat configuration, the Executioner D mounts a plethora of various pulse laser weapons, which have increased accuracy to compensate for the movement the Executioner D will likely be doing. The right arm mounts a Large Pulse Laser as a primary weapon-- this is supported by an additional three Medium Pulse Lasers, and the support is supported by an array of five Small Pulse Lasers. An ER Small Laser provides some more variation, and the Executioner D also mounts two SRM-6 racks to exploit-- or more accurately, explode-- breaches in enemy armor. However, no additional heat sinks are mounted, and the 'Mech may overheat if too many weapons are fired at once. BV (1.0) = 2,384
- Alt. Config. E - Capable of effectively engaging enemies at any range, the Executioner E uses the modern Advanced Tactical Missile system, which has the flexibility of being able to fire missiles effective at any range. The Executioner E mounts a pair of ATM-9 racks. A pair of ER Large Lasers provide long-range firepower, and at close range the Executioner E relies on it's modern, high-damage heavy lasers, equipped with two Heavy Medium Lasers and a Heavy Small Laser. BV (1.0) = 2,460
- Alt. Config. H - Using recently developed Heavy Laser tecnology, the Executioner H specializes in close combat, and mounts a Heavy Large Laser for devastating medium-range firepower. Complementing the laser is an also devastating Ultra Autocannon/20. Supporting this heavy firepower is a pair of ER Medium Lasers and a Flamer, which is very effective against infantry, and is also a powerful tactical weapon. BV (1.0) = 2,500
- Alt. Config. K - Another recent configuration, the Executioner K uses new Hyper-Assault Gauss technology. This configuration excels at long ranges, mounting dual ER Large Lasers, complemented by a powerful HAG 20. Three ER Medium Lasers provide adequate close-range firepower, and the Executioner K also mounts a Light Active Probe to detect hidden units. BV (1.0) = unknown
- Alt. Config. P - Mounting recent Plasma Cannon technology, the Executioner P has a powerful HAG 30 and a LRM-10 rack for long-range combat. Three Heavy Medium Lasers provide short-range firepower. A Plasma Cannon is also carried by the Executioner P, which is effectively a supersized Flamer-- it elevates heat levels, and is very effective against infantry. BV (1.0) = unknown
