Wed. Aug 15, 3049: Technicron Manufacturing of Savannah begins live-fire testing of its QKD-5M Quickdraw upgrade.

[Daahryn]

Wonderful.

[Mechteric]

Not a bad mech at all, kinda like the Dragon except less ballistic based more laser/missile based. Oh and it has Jump Jets, tasty

Aaah, if only they were doing the Quickdraw. Anytime soon anyways.

[Nick Amperes]

The 5M has ferro-fibrous armor and double heat sinks...hint hint nudge nudge

[FuriA]

Wow i'm so curious about the design of this mech

Not really... poor armor brawler as tall as Catapult with ears? Somehow I don't see this happening - I mean: It'd sux. Too big, too poorly armoured, too poorly armed. Even with 6 ML + SRM4 and 86kmph speed it's hardly a threat to SRMpult (running almost 70 kmph), or, god forbid, Gassapult.
Speed might be an excellent armor, truth, but not when you are that big.

Weight: 60 metric tons

Armament:
1 LRM-10 (CASE stored ammo)
1 SRM-4 One-Shot
4 Medium lasers

Top speed 86 kph
5 Jump jets for a distance of 150 meters

Armor 8 tons FF

Standard engine (not as vulnerable but weighs twice that of an XL)

Used as a harasser it has few that can equal, but in a stand up fight it will likely fall to Mediums.

Also, Double Heatsinks are all well in good, but really 13? For this amount, it can probably lose a sink or two and still be ice cold.

That isn't the 5M model that's a variant of the 4G.

All these 60 ton range mechs. Where are the true heavies, the 70 ton range? Cataphract is lonely, wants a reseen Warhammer friend. <.<

[Zorob]

Does this means that this mech is next?

[Black Rogue]

Loved the Quickdraw in table top gaming. had a lance of em for hit and runs and could shred an assault in no time

[tezzaa]

i remember the grasshopper from TT as a great 70 toner

[Taelon]

Not really, just that it has been designed in lore.

[Madrick]

QKD-5M Quickdraw upgrade would that be to ER Lasers as in the QKD-5Mr Quickdraw?

ER Large Lasers are only available now. ER Medium and Small Lasers aren't till 3060 or so.

[Jacob Davion]

YES!!!!!! THIS MECH WILL BE IN!!!!!!!

[Soviet Alex]

FD would need to work a miracle on the Quickdraw. It has an onion dome off the Kremlin for a head! FAIL!
