Argus

FIELD NOTES: "The Argus was originally intended to be an OmniMech, but this idea was rejected for cost considerations. However, it maintained many of its original Omni design concepts, helping to simplify field repairs. First deployed on Kentares IV, the Argus more than proved itself as a brawler in battle, capable of inflicting and absorbing a great deal of damage. The Argus has become a popular choice among high-profile units such as the First Federated Suns Armored Cavalry."
