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. Its light armoring - a single shot from a [[medium laser]] will punch through the center torso - is also sufficient for resisting most infantry-scale weapons, while its size can be intimidating to most troopers.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Variants== *;Harpy 2 : Introduced during the 3060s, this variant of the ProtoMech was given a [[ER Micro Laser|Extended Range Micro Laser]].
