6mm Locust LCT-1E

thingiverse

The Locust was one of the most common BattleMechs in existence, having been continuously produced since its design was first introduced by Bergan Industries in 2499. One of the smallest 'Mechs ever built, the Locust was designed exclusively for reconnaissance and quick strike missions, utilizing its then-phenomenal speed to outmaneuver most enemies. In a situation where it couldn't outrun its enemies, the 'Mech did possess a light array of weapons with which to defend itself, but the Locust lacked the firepower or staying power to be a true front-line combatant, and as a result few MechWarriors enjoyed piloting Locusts. Within its weight-class though, the Locust was considered an excellent 'Mech, overshadowed as a scout only by designs that mounted jump jets. Often when a Locust engaged in combat it was as a holding action until reinforcements could arrive, although when operating in groups of three they could swarm lone enemy 'Mechs which became separated from friendly support. LCT-1E Developed by Bergan Industries in response to a Capellan request for a Locust with greater punch and lower munition consumption as the First Succession War shifted to lower level raiding, the LCT-1E Locust was introduced in 2811. Among the least-produced variants, the "Energy" Locust carried an entirely laser-based weapons assortment, featuring two Martell Medium Lasers and two Magna Small Lasers mounted in the arm "turrets". This choice allowed Capellan MechWarriors to overcome the 'Mech's limited firing arc by flipping its weaponry between forward and rearward arcs at will.
