Mekton II designs
These mecha are the ones created for Mekton II and listed on pages 31-33 of the rulebook. I have made several modifications to the stats which were necessary in order to make the designs workable. For the most part these were things like adding the rear legs on the panthercat, but I also added some weapon links to allow better use of the weaponry, as links were not included in any of the statistics listings. Purists may wish to delete the links, as they dramatically change the performance of the mecha. Rocket launchers are converted as missile launchers with a low WA, and 40 missiles as follows: WA:-2, Range:7, Damage:2, #missiles:40 When these missiles are fired in salvoes of 10, they emulate the original Rocket Launcher Perfectly, giving it a WA of 0 and four volleys of 10.

taking this sucker into the field. Either that or blatantly modify(read
rebuild) it. It is a very old design, and could never even think of
standing up to a modern mekton.

Notes:
This is the Verkan Panthercat from the Mekton II sourcebook. It
comes in two versions. The base beast mecha, and the B version which is
capable of transforming into fighter and humanoid forms. Though the
base form technically would be beastmecha for this mecha, the
transformation cost is calculated for Beast and fighter because there is
no cost for humaniform. Note that the rocket launchers conform to the
performance of the original Mekton II Rockets if fired in salvoes of 10.
I added the Links as a likely modification by most pilots. Purists can
remove them easily.
