QuadVees

A variation of the LAM-type BattleMech, the QuadVee is a hybrid of quadrupedal 'Mechs and combat vehicles and has conversion equipment to switch between two modes. The QuadVee was developed by the Clan Hell's Horses during the later part of the Dark Age Era. Its creation was a means for the Clan to bolster its touman. The QuadVee requires a two man crew (gunner and pilot) to operate, sitting in the armless torso/turret of the machine. The vehicle form can be equipped with either tracks or wheels. Unlike most Quad Mechs, the QuadVee has a turret-like torso that may rotate 360 degrees. This is typically where most of the QuadVee's weaponry is housed. These 'Mechs are currently available in normal BattleMech weight classes. A QuadVees may continue to move even if the gyro is non-functional by converting into vehicle mode. They are able to be setup to be either a standard QuadVee or modular, as an OmniQuadVees. In the few years the Hell's Horses have utilized it, the vehicle has received mixed reviews.
