The "most dangerous mech" Marauder was completed in the early 27th century by GM. Its peculiar design was heralded as marking the start of a new age of battlemechs, and even at present, in the 31st century, continues to stand out. However, this unique body structure has caused a good number of unavoidable problems; for example, the couplings between the trunk and legs, and the connection between the auto cannon and the body, are unexpectedly weak. For this reason, the auto cannon is often replaced by a medium-caliber laser. Despite these flaws, however, its mighty firepower and strong armor speak to this mech's excellence.
