Its main weapon is the [[Sunglow Type 2]] Large Laser, backed up by a [[Diverse Optics Type 18]] [[medium laser]]. For its long range firepower, the tank is equipped with a [[Delta Dart]] LRM 10 Launcher with 12 volleys of missiles.<ref name=TRO3058U/> The Fulcrum has also been noted for its [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and [[Guardian ECM Suite|Guardian ECM]], which makes the tank an exceptional reconnaissance and spotter vehicle. Powering the Fulcrum is its 265-rated extralight engine, giving it incredible speed to outrun enemies it cannot outfight. The vehicle is protected by 10 tons of Standard Armor.<ref name=TRO3058U/> ==Variants== *; Fulcrum Heavy Hovertank II : Variant produced in 3067, the vehicle retains the TAG and Guardian ECM but drops the Large Laser and a [[Heat Sink]] for two additional medium lasers and an [[SRM 6|SRM 6 Launcher]] with a ton of ammunition. This gave the vehicle additional close quarters damage.
