================================================================================================
Overview:
Designed in the early 3030's the Canyon Beast wasn't manufactured until 3038, where it
underwent some testing, and proved to do the Job it was designed for, rough and hard to
negotiate terrain. The Canyon Beast's legs and foot actuators were designed to handle the
high stresses of partial footing, mainly due to the claw-toed design, where even partial
footing is footing. Bipedal Designs failed the tests miserably, quadrupedal design base gave
the Mech the stability it needed, and the Jump Jets give it access to terrain that would
cripple other mechs because of treacherous footing.
Capabilities:
Because of the nature of this Mechs Design, and its Intended use, Pilots enjoy no penalties
when moving across rough terrain. The Mech may also climb near vertical rough (or maybe
buildings)surfaces using its claw-toed legs at one elevation level per turn, no weapons fire
is allowed during this type of movement.
Once its reached its Perch, this mech Snipes on-comers to soften them up for the rest of the
lance scattered over the area.
Deployment:
No data availible. (Try using this on pesky players)

Large laser and SRMs are good for short range fighting, but with this speed it can't use the AC/2 effectively. I doubt that the enemy will send something without JJs to broken terrain. More short range weapons would be nice, but there is another possibility, upgrading the laser to PPC and adding other weapons for backup would produce something like really dangerous Scorpion.

Good start, but short of speciality mechs AC 2s don't really have much use.
Under a house rule I sometimes play with. AC 2s either become AC 4s or they become AC 2s with 72 hex long range. Otherwise its no point of mounting AC 2s on anything that doesn't hunt Aerotech.
So yeah, with only a single SRM 6 at short and an Large Laser at range, its almost a cludge of the PHX-1 and the a short ranged GRF.
Needs to gain focus by losing the AC 2.

The armor is very impressive. The AC/2 is a poor choice in my opinion though. This 'mech doesn't have the speed to stay out of range of anything the AC/2 could possibly threaten. I would mount another Large Laser and more heat sinks in it's place, or a couple more SRM-6s for a close-combat version. With 13 (!!!) tons of armor, this 'mech would be a beast in close with the right guns, able to face down heavy 'mechs with a good shot at victory.
