Withworth

The Whitworth is renowned as the 'Tin Woodsman', an unconventional BattleMech first produced in 2610. Designed to bridge the gap between lighter models like the Wasp and heavier ones such as the Phoenix Hawk, it excels as a lightweight missile support platform. Despite its slower speed and problematic actuator system in its hips and legs—which can result in leg damage during vigorous maneuvers—the Whitworth remains a unique pick for those seeking rugged firepower in challenging situations.
