Overview:
    This new Davion assault Mech makes use of the much maligned RAC2 it was built after a call
    was made for a new assault Mech that would be effective on the open field and in the tight
    confines of woods or urban environments the mechs name comes from its strange head with its
    beak like laser a point which caused major rifts in the development team as one group wanted
    to add a flamer while another faction wanted a mdpulse laser. The argument was eventually
    settled late one night when a vicious fight broke out in the lab the eventual winner was one
    Kevin Petite a massive giant and amateur Wrestler he threw 2 members of the team through
    doors and snapped another's leg. So the ERMDlasers were kept not by merit but because the
    tech was a 6ft 8inch 280pound giant . In testing the Mech showed massive potential against
    vehicles and aerospace assets its MD-Lasers made it very effective against Battle armor
    despite this anti-personal mines were added to legs to prevent swarming as this Mech as no
    real infantry protection

Capabilities:
    The mechs long range punch comes from its ERPPC backed by the twin RAC2s on the left
    shoulder. The Mech however thrives up close as its 8 MD-Lasers give it staggering damage
    capabilities up close.two rear facing ERMDLasers discourage light mechs while its its head
    mounted ERMDLaser was late addition for striking at light mechs that avoided the arm mounted
    lasers

Deployment:
    the mechs production was rushed by Davion high command and so already 2 dozen Woodpeckers
    are deployed with various house Davion units while some have gone to mercs with longstanding
    contracts with, and proven loyalty to, house Davion
