Highlander HGN-732

Overview
The Highlander is a well known SLDF Era Battlemech. Originally designed as a base or installation defender, the HGN-732 is probably the most famous Highlander model. At long ranges, a Gauss Rifle and LRM 20 can effectively deter many more lightly armored opponents. If a mech does decide to close the distance, two Medium Lasers and a SRM 6 are waiting to meet them.

Strengths
The HGN-732's ability to carry a Gauss Rifle and up to three PPC or ER PPCs means it can be a formidable sniper when used with Jump Jets.

Weaknesses
All of the direct fire Hardpoints can be found on the right side of this 'Mech. Once that is lost, the missiles mounted on the other side of the 'Mech will still be useable though. Additionally, only three Jump Jets may be installed, limiting its ability to jump-snipe and move over obstacles. The HGN-732's arm twist range of 20° limits its ability to fight at close range.
