With its hunched shoulders and protruding head, this 'Mech resembles the vulture for which it is named. Tagged the Vulture by MechWarriors in the Free Rasalhague Republic and in the Draconis Combine, this 'Mech also has bird-like legs that enhance the comparison. The huge twin missile racks on its shoulders give the 'Mech its hunched look, but its overall appearance changes very little when other weapons pods are installed.
In its primary configuration, the Vulture serves mostly as a fire-support 'Mech. Many Inner Sphere MechWarriors have commented on the sense of foreboding they felt at seeing a Vulture perched on a ridge, firing its missiles on the raging battle below as if waiting for its victims to die before swooping down for the carrion. The Vulture's twin LRM-20 racks can certainly hasten an enemy's death, and it frequently uses its laser weapons to administer the coup de grace to wounded foes.
First seen first in the Draconis Combine and the Free Rasalhague Republic, the Vulture has since appeared in the armed forces of all the Clans.
