6mm Locust LCT-3V

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, using its phenomenal speed to outrun most enemies. In a situation where it couldn't outrun its enemies, the 'Mech had 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. As a result, few MechWarriors enjoyed piloting Locusts. Within its weight-class, however, 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. When operating in groups of three, they could swarm lone enemy 'Mechs that had become separated from friendly support. LCT-3V This Locust variant introduced in 3004 carried a set of two medium lasers in the center torso while retaining arm-mounted machine guns. The additional armament came at the cost of half a ton of machine gun ammunition and half a ton of armor protection.
