The
success of the Goliath has prompted Corean Enterprises to take another
look at four-legged 'Mech designs. Intended to serve as a light recon
'Mech, the Tarantula is the first four-legged design to mount jump jets.
Corean designers decided to take advantage of the stability and maneuverability
provided by a four-legged chassis to build an extremely agile recon
'Mech. The resulting design combined the squat, four-legged look of
the Scorpion with the sleek lines of the Mercury. Naturally, there are
many skeptics who doubt that a four-legged design can ever compete with
the more traditional 'Mechs. Old habits die hard, and it will be difficult
for most MechWarriors to drop preconceived notions based on the old
Scorpion design. Those who can will discover a startling new 'Mech of
unsurpassed agility and a low profile particularly well-suited to recon
and surveillance.
