Description[edit]

Created by Clan Nova Cat scientists, the battle armor LB-X autocannon was based on the 'Mech-scale LB-X autocannons. It was too heavy to be fielded by any of their battle armor at the time and did not see use until the Thunderbird battle armor variant was developed in 3089 to carry it. It retained the inherent ease of hitting a target, as with the full sized LB-X cluster rounds.

Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf both acquired this weapon and made use of it with their battle armor.
