The Mandrill (MND) is a 30 ton Clan light mech originally specific to Clan Fire Mandrill.
[edit] Blurb
Those Mandrills still operating continue to prove their worth in combat when required. With its devastating missile saturation assaults, a Mandrill can hold its own against any light 'Mech and many medium-weight designs. Its armor is sufficient to keep it in battle, especially in the one-on-one duels that the Clans favor. The head-mounted small laser may seem extraneous, but in a Fire Mandrill assault against the failing Smoke Jaguar positions on the Clan world of Atreus during the Inner Sphere attack, the Mandrill's small lasers allowed the 'Mech to fight on once the missile bays ran empty.
[edit] Description
The Mandrill is rather a rarity among clan light mechs, in that it is slow at 4/6/4 - many clan heavies or assaults move faster than the Mandrill. However, with twin (C) LRM 20 racks, it is quite useful. However, 12 ammo per rack means that the pilot must use his ammo sparingly in extended engagements, and once its ammo bins run dry, a small laser is small comfort to the pilot in the middle of a firefight.
[edit] Combat record
2 Mandrills have seen service, with 1 surviving. The design has been responsible for 0 kills (0 BV).
