-------------------------------------------------/Combat Rating and Assessment/-------------------------------------------------
(Stats Scale)
(Light/Heavy Body)
The feared Wolf of the North is a MkII which is only a few tons heavier than the MKIII variant however with Wester’s modifications from the regular Jager Hound it is now a few tons heavier than the regular MkII but for its size it is quite light allowing it to reach high speeds. It is also quite agile as its melee requires precise control and responsiveness from the mech itself.
It isn’t very well armored, Wester wanted to capitalize on speed and thus kept Thrasher’s regular armor with a few additions here and there, this allowed Thrasher to sustain itself in direct combat but Wester uses Thrasher more as a stalker and ambush meant to get the drop on unsuspecting pilots thus she figured adding armor would only make its overall profile bigger.
(Accuracy & Tracking/Firepower)
Wester wanted Firepower to be high as such Thrasher was loaded with a heavy weapon on the back and some anti-infantry weapons on the shoulders, tracking was all dependent on Wester’s line of sight, thus tracking at best was dependent on whether or not Wester could see her target, her special awareness is at least helped by the standard radar that most mechs come with, and in situations where she can’t even hit her target she would rather retreat and consolidate.
<<SPEED AND AIR AGILITY>>
(Air mobility/Thrusters)
The Jager Hound was never meant to fly, thus most of its speed is focused on the thrusters and how fast it runs, the Thrasher is the fastest MkII Jager Hound that is armed and fit for combat reaching raw top speeds in the upper hundreds of miles per hour at full sprint. This allows Thrasher to chase down fast moving targets, pounce unsuspecting targets, or lunge with a powerful bite at a vital part.
(Solo/Skirmisher)
Wester modified Thrasher to be a Hunter and Mech Assassin, however that did not remove the fact that Thrasher was a Jager Hound, the Jager Hound worked well in packs taking down bigger mechs and large numbers of enemies with well-coordinated strikes and good team communication, the Thrasher strikes a good balance between the two, having come from a good base frame of modification it allows the Thrasher to be efficient in both jobs if it came down to it.
-------------------------------------------------/The Wolf of the North vs MkIII Jager Hound /-------------------------------------------------
(Flavor Text; Note this is before she modified it to the current model you see me describe)
The overconfident Brigadier General took out the latest MkIII prototype – a very expensive priority project – he started off confident with a smirk on his face, he spoke in a mocking manner as if inciting a violent reaction from Wester.
”Ready to surrender yet Rabbit? Or are you really going to fight with that outdated stray dog model?the onlookers were scientists, pilots, and soldiers all betting and cheering for one or the other, it was a literal
dog-fight. Wester only glared back at the cocky officer, with one thing in mind
’KILL HIM’; they both mounted their mechs, Wester in her MkII and the General in the MkIII prototype. The rules were simple, cripple the opponents mech.
The fight began and almost immediately the MkIII began a hail of fire towards Westers mech; Wester as agile as she is knew this was going to happen, she dodged swiftly towards the right, popped a smoke module while turning on thrusters. The General switched to heat spectrum vision, Wester was clear as day, but that was not what the smoke was for, it was to conceal whether or not she was going to fire; she fired four shots of twin 30mm cannons at the MkIII aiming for the legs, the Mk3 takes the brunt of the damage.
”It takes more than that to kill this mech, eat this you bitch!”The officer turns around and starts firing back, the tracking was way too advanced, she decided to throw it off using HE grenades which gave her some respite from the bullets coming her way. The shots that were fired chewed up her left shoulder armor, however she needed to end this quickly, so instead of waiting, she saw an opportunity as the explosive forced the General into the side of the fighting area, she fired another grenade targeting his left, without rest the General instinctively pulls his mech back into a corner, Wester uses this opportunity to jump the MkIII, the inexperienced General then turned his guns on her not realizing that the MkIII was fully capable of overpowering the MkII in melee.
”What the – …!?””What’s wrong General, no where to run? Where did all that shit talking go to? Don't tell me you're actually afraid of a stray dog.”The MkIII pounds Wester’s mech, however the jaws clamped where they were suppose to, around the neck area, Wester skillfully adjusts the jaw to rest on one of the areas where wires that connects the controls to the main body are housed, she then violently rips them out of the MkIII, and continues breaking it apart till it is no longer firing. Wester’s mech after the battle was about to give out as the bullets tore a hole through the one of the power generators, and the General’s mech was completely eviscerated, metal parts and components were splayed out in a wide area around the pit; the damage was expensive and thus lead to Wester’s demotion. Despite this demotion Robin Wester was content with showing the General what she was made of and she had fun tearing apart his precious MkIII, his project was nothing more than a lame copy of Robin's success with developing the MkII variant, the General completely tarnished the Northern Frontier's discipline on solid mech design as there were some features that Robin felt could've been better.
