Intended as a "proof-of-concept" more than an actual fighting unit, the ''Harpy'' doesn't outperform a standard Elemental battle armor suit in most categories. The only real advantage it offered over the battle armor was the top speed and size. Because of this it was quickly relegated to anti-[[infantry]] work.<ref name=TRO3060>''Technical Readout: 3060, p. 196''</ref> As a proof of concept however, the ''Harpy'' did demonstrate that the ProtoMech (with improvements) could become a viable weapon. After the destruction of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]], initially just [[Clan Hell's Horses]] and [[Clan Star Adder]] adopted the ''Harpy'' for their use, joined later by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Fire Mandrill]].<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1391/harpy-standard ''Harpy (Standard)'' on Master Unit List]</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Harpy'' mounts only a single [[Machine Gun]] as its main weapon, while carrying just 100kg of ammunition limits the ''Harpy'' to a little over three minutes of continuous firing. However it is capable of jumping 90 meters at a time and can maintain a cruising speed of 32 km/h, adequate for hunting down infantry.

This speedy variant has slightly increased the ProtoMech's armor to its arms, head, and legs. It is armed with a [[Light Machine Gun]] with one ton of ammunition. To increase its top speed to 80 km/h, the jump jets were dropped.

It regained its jump jets and added [[MASC]] equipment to give its brief speed boost. Armor protection was also reconfigured for the design.
