BIG THANKS to Sherwood for allowing me to copy the text from his games into this one (saving me a tremendous amount of time and typing)!
VHR-2 Myrmidon Scout Tank
Born of the same project that developed the Spartas Hover Tank, the Myrmidon is a reconnaissance platform that is frequently fielded next to its larger brother to provide electronic warfare support. Designed along the same lines, the Scout Tank has three modes of operation; transport, tank, and Battloid. It shares many of the same systems as the Spartas, including power plants, engines and even transformation gear.
Never designed to be a heavy fighting vehicle, the Myrmidon was fitted with only one integral weapon system. Mounted in the arm shields are a pair of triple barreled ion cannons like those found on the Spartas. These are mainly for defense and to add covering fire for any reconnaissance troopers who might be operating alongside the mecha. An optional EU-11 gun pod can be lashed to the hull of the Myrmidon, but the large weapon is awkward in the smaller hands of the mecha and it is rare for a pilot to use one.
M.D.C. by location
Sensor Head – 35
Arms – 95 each
Hands – 40 each
*Arm Shields – 350 each
Legs – 125 each
Main Vectored Thrusters – 85 each
Triple-Barreled Ion Cannons – 100 each
EU-11 Gun Pod (optional) – 100
**Reinforced Pilot’s Compartment – 125
***Main Body – 255
*Destroying an arm shield renders the weapon housed within it inactive and exposes the arm to damage.
**Only available on the -1A2 and up-armored variants.
***Destroying the main body renders the mecha completely inoperable.
Speed
Transport Mode: 150 mph
Tank/Guardian Mode: 15 mph
Battloid Mode: 55 mph
Leaping: 80 feet straight up in all modes. 90 feet lengthwise in Battloid and tank/guardian modes.
Flight: Can hover in the air up to 20 feet high in Battloid and tank/guardian modes. Typical altitude in transport mode is 1-15 feet off the ground.

Weapon Systems
1. MIW-20 Triple Barreled Ion Pulse Cannons: These are the same weapons mounted on the VHT Spartas as a secondary weapon. These cannons are the Myrmidon’s primary weapons, and can only be deployed and fired in tank/guardian mode.
Range: 1,800 feet
Mega Damage: 1d6x10 MD per single pulse. 2d6x10 MD when fired simultaneously at the same target.
Rate of Fire: Each single or double pulse counts as one melee attack.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
2. EU-11 Gun Pod: This is not standard issue to the Myrmidon, but can be added on when the extra firepower is needed. This weapon can only be used in Battloid mode.
Weight: 250 lbs
Range: 4,000
Mega Damage: 1d8 MD per singe blast, 1d4x10 MD for a five round burst
Rate of Fire: Each single blast or five round burst counts as one melee attack.
Payload: A fully charged capacitor is good for 140 single shots or 28 five round bursts. The capacitor charges at the rate of one blast every two minutes in its housing, and an empty capacitor takes over three hours to charge in full.
3. Hand to Hand Combat
Restrained Punch: 1d4 MD
Full Strength Punch: 1d6 MD
Power Punch: 2d6 MD
