Solaris VII

 

"Even some ardent supporters of Noton expressed skepticism at his ability to compete in the assault `Mech circuit in so undistinguished a vehicle as a Rifleman. Initial successes silenced these doubters, everyone wondering how the 65 ton `Mech managed to overcome such awesome opponents as BattleMasters and Stalkers. Meanwhile, Noton won victory after victory.

 

His Rifleman was obviously outmatched in the Unlimited Class, but carried him to success nonetheless. One theory, advanced in the years since the arrival of the Clans and the rediscovery of Star League lostech, suggests that, while operating as a mercenary in the Periphery, Noton stumbled upon a Star League-era Rifleman equipped with such advances as pulse lasers, ultra-autocannon, endo steel frame, XL engines, double heat sinks, and so on. In addition, some evidence exists that Noton's `Mech weighed considerably more than 65 tons, and had been upgraded to 80 or 90 tons in a fashion similar to the Marauder II, with extra armor added to its legs and arms."

 

[Editor's Notes: This is NOT the MechForce UK version (70 tons). I took the 90-ton remark literally, and replaced the lasers with pulse versions and the ACs with UACs. Sufficient heat sinks were added, as were extra ammo, case, and armor befitting a 90-ton mech capable of defeating Stalkers in arena combat.]
