Fatshoe

The Fatshoe is a Corvid Heavy Mech. It has two Main hardpoints and boasts greater speed and firepower (by exchanging the Turret for a second Main mount) than the Loyalist Touro it was built upon at the expense of armor and maneuverability. 
== Acquisitions Entry ==
Sort of an all-inclusive Corvid name for truck chassis on legs. Lots of people argue over where the name comes from, but it's generally accepted that Corvid engineering (if it can be called that) almost always puts a higher load on the power plants for mechs. That means Fatshoes don't handle like Touros despite a lot of shared components. Usually? Less maneuverable, less armor on a Fatshoe but more gun and more speed. Hell of a thing to see a Fatshoe haul ass down the highway, Corvids race them like they race Skates and basically everything else.-MB
== Trivia ==
(...) and her feed cleared to display an enemy heavy. Its legs were like hers, but that's where the similarities ended. The upper body seemed to be made out of an old truck chassis that had been welded to the waist and up-armoured with sheet steel. "Damn junkers! Where're the separatists getting all this gear?" It had an 105mm gun ripped to the side of the haphazard torso, which boomed as it strolled forward, causing her shields to flare once more.- Chapter 10 of the Brigador Audiobook.
== Notes & Strategy ==
Despite it's description implying that it is speedy, the fatshoe's bulk hinders it's ability to strafe fire effectively as other corvid vehicles. When compared to the sweetheart, the Fatshoe instead trades a heavy for two main mounts, essentially the same mobility stats and weaker shielding for more armor. It has a significant advantage over the Touro in weaponry however and it's increased mobility does make a difference, one should still accept that any corvid counterpart or derivative will be undoubtedly be more fragile even with overcharge accounted for. 
Twin main mounts mean that the Fatshoe is an excellent assaulter, allowing for sustained fire on to any enemy and being particularly effective when given weapons that excel in a 1v1 situation. Effective use of the crouch key for mechs as well as the stomp allows the fatshoe to clear paths and nearby foes handily while minimizing damage.
