The fifth bio-mech in the series, the FDL-5J is a specialist in guerilla warfare. It’s built around a light weight frame, powerful engine, and leg mounted jump thrusters. This package gives the Fer-de-lance its staggering speed and agility. Put simply it can easily traverse dense terrain that would certainly bog down lesser quality machines. To further enhance FDL-5J’s capabilities its entire compliment of ranged weapons are all energy based. So long as the engine’s running (and not overheating) there is no need to worry about running out of ammo. In other words, the FDL can strike at its targets like any ambush predator and then slither away before being counterattacked. Of course there is a cost to be paid for all of this superior performance. In this case it’s the armor. Even though it possesses regenerative armor plating like any good bio-mech would, it had to be kept to a minimum to maintain its weight ratio. So long as it doesn’t take too many direct hits in a short period of time it will be all right. Otherwise even this venomous viper could find itself in some serious trouble.
