	The simple design and construction of the ''Sun Cobra'' leaves little to a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior's]] imagination.

The lethal ''Sun Cobra'' is used mostly for fire support. First seeing production in [[3074]] as [[Clan Wolf]] was beset by enemies, the design found its way into the armed forces of many Houses and factions of the [[Inner Sphere]] by the 3130s.<ref name=TRO3075/> The simple design and construction of the ''Sun Cobra'' leaves little to a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior's]] imagination.

A larger XL engine allows it to reach a top speed of 96 km/h. It also carries an additional three and a half tons of armor.

Others feature the addition of [[jump jet]]s as well, though these all come after [[3075]]. ==Design Quirks== The ''Sun Cobra'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 95 BattleMech Quirk Table - Sun Cobra Entry.</ref> * [[Protected Actuators]] ==Notes== The ''Sun Cobra'' was originally created for the [[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] collectable game and the dossier for Thos Cardella initially led one to believe that the ''Sun Cobra'' was designed by the Federated Suns. However, the publication of ''Technical Readout: 3075'' corrected this by linking the origins of the ''Sun Cobra'' to Clan Wolf. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Suncobra.PNG|Original ''Sun Cobra'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3075|TRO:3075]]'' Image:MWDA Sun Cobra.jpg|''Sun Cobra'' from ''[[MechWarrior: Death From Above|MWDA DFA]]'' dossiers </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== *''[[Record Sheets: 3075]]'' *''[[Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged]]'' *''[[Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge]]'' *''[[Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades]]'' *''[[Technical Readout: 3075]]'' *''[http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/death_from_above_5.pdf Jeni Wolf's Dossier]'' *''[http://cf.sarna.net/docs/mwda_dossiers/death_from_above_25.pdf Thos Cardella's Dossier]'' [[Category:'Mechs]] [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category:55 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Wolf BattleMechs]]
