Light, fast, and when deployed in numbers the Fire Ant brings its Flame
Array to bear on 'Mech teams attacking fixed bases. Used extensively as a
sentry, the Fire Ant fights relentlessly but rarely with the support of
heavily armed 'Mechs.
Keating Armaments (These guys had to have been
the ultimate morons to come up with this 'Mech design Cyrus.)took
the contract to produce the Fire Ant and sprung a unique design. By
conserving space and material Keating engineered and inexpensive
(sacrificial
Lamb) 'Mech that could be produced in
vast quantity and without depleting the armories of its customers. The
equally inexpensive Flamer and Machine gun Arrays arm the swarms of Fire
ants deployed in base defense. (Not
against 'Mechs. This 'mech is only good for anti-infantry unless in large
numbers, ver large numnbers)
