Big Mec



The Big Mec is an IndustrialMech designed to be a corporate mascot to be displayed and entertain the public on SpheRonald's franchises. It also doubles as a SecurityMech on the nightshift and in the prospect of planetary defense and worker's revolts.

Overview
The 'mech is fairly heavy, weighting 55 tons when loaded and thus not formally qualified to be a SecurityMech. However the "fries launcher" is detachable and this was made so to allow it to qualify as a Corporate SecurityMech with the rack detached, an obvious cheat that the revision board was bribed to ignore. As would be expected, it is trivial to add in the rack and the mount is prepared to do it on the spot. As such, technically the rack-less version is a different variant. However, this did mean the ammo feed coudn't be connected, and thus the launcher could only be a One Shot weapon. It was not considered the tradeoff was bad at all, since 15 missiles in an LRM-15 between refits should be more than enough - or at least that was the idea back then.

Adittionally the 'mech mounts artillery, which, along the launcher and alternate ammo, are intended to entertain with a lightshow and fireworks. These 'weapons' were woefully inadequate at close defense, tho, making the 'mech a poor security other than in melee, unlike the competition's Burguer Kong.

However, the 'Mech does mount a sprayer, that, even as it was added for firefighting duties should the kitchen staff be a bit overzealous (the pre-cooked burguers normally never pass 55°C per company policy), it can be used also on riotous crowds or street hooligans.
