Overview:

TR3025

Conceived by the engineers at Coventry Defense, the first prototype Commando was tested in 2483 and carried a large laser on the right arm. Because the abrupt heat generated by the laser consistently broke down the lubricants in the 'Mech's wrist and hand, the weapon was later replaced with an SRM-4 rack.

This design feature also has its drawbacks. The two different missile systems require two different command systems. The medium laser requires a third command system, and coordinating all these systems requires a much larger computer than originally planned. This is one of the reasons that the Commando's weight went up from the original 20 to 25 tons.

[Editor's Notes: The last sentence indicates that the prototype was 20 tons, and the first paragraph lists the armament as a LL in the RA. Easy conversion from the standard COM-2A Commando: drop the weight, replace all weapons with 1 LL in RA; armor, movement, etc. stays the same.]
