Pochonbo

The Pochonbo was comissioned by the Social Republic of Periphery People to aid in stealth contruction work.

The IndustrialMech carries a Searchlight for night work, the Null Signature System permits to avoid the demolishing patrols of blockading powers. There is a shoulder turret-mounted Machinegun in order to deal with infantry and spies while not interrupting the work.

Most notably, a Bombast laser shooting from the inside of the claw, intended for heavy welding, can also be used against battlemechs and vehicles.

A moderate amount of Ablative armor protects the fragile Industrial TSM. This was also a consideration in installing CASE II for the machinegun ammo.

The Fission Engine means that energy emissions are much less noticeable, and it also aids in constructing this 'mech with lower technology levels.

Command role
The Pochonbo carries a Command Console to direct the work of other IndustrialMechs and support vehicles. Usually there is just one per site.

Pochonbo PCHB-ST2
A Chamaleon Light Polarization Shield provides the possibility to use optical camo. Some of the myomer and armor distribution has been switched around to make this possible. This variant is relatively rare.
