================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed to support urban assaults, the Blockbuster is aptly named. It's sole purpose is
    that of citybuster.Capable of clearing a path through the densest of terrain and blowing
    holes in the strongest of defenses,the BB-001 is a boon to field commanders that face
    stubborn opposition.

Capabilities:
    Based upon an advanced chassis and employing a unique tripod configuration, the Blockbuster
    is meant for slow and steady advances. While not fast, the assault class mech boasts
    excellent mobility in even the most difficult terrain. Heavy armor further enhances the
    mech's staying power.

    Offensively, the Blockbuster's focus hinges upon a massive Long Tom Cannon for saturation
    bombardments of enemy positions. Should the support unit find itself in direct combat,
    paired PPCs and ER Medium Lasers, mounted in Marauder-type pods, provide a measure of
    self-defense. Twin X-pulse Light Lasers supplement the firepower in close quarters.

    Finally, in pursuit of its role as urbanspecialist, the engineers did not cut corners on the
    sensor suite. A Bloodhound active probe provides valuable 'eyes on the ground' for unit
    commanders hopingto avoid unwelcome surprises.
