Summoner 2C Heavy Mech

The Summoner Heavy Mech is a brilliant balance of speed, weaponry, and protection. The 70 tons frame is somewhat similar to the larger Hellbringer, but with a slightly reduced weapons load and an added dose of agility. The pilot is located high on the right torso, which allows ample room for the large powerplant that gives this mech good speed and potent punch for its energy weapons. Thick legs and stout linkages give reliable mobility, and the weight is well distributed by an ample footprint.

The 2C variant features a lighter engine and improved weapons over the basic version. The Summoner 2C is armed with one PPC, one LBX-10 autocannon, two medium ER lasers, twin hip-mounted triple Streak SRMs, and a LRM-6 mounted on the left shoulder. The Summoner also has 4 jump jets mounted as standard equipment, which greatly enhance its agility.

Builder Notes: the Summoner was one of my favorites in the Mechwarrior II computer games.
