Jetpack

The Jetpack is a transport part that is part of the subcategory of specialized parts.
== Description ==
The Jetpack boasts 6 health points, a movement capability of 1, consumes 4 energy and 5 credits, and has 2 uses. It possesses a unique jetpack ability that allows it to jump over all terrain, landing 2 spaces away. At level 2, its jetpack range increases to 3 spaces, but it must move to that space. At level 3, it gains the option to jump between 3 or 4 spaces away.
The Jetpack combines aspects of both a Walker and a Jet. Most of its movement relies on its jetpack action, resembling the functionality of a Walker. The first upgrade, while appearing to increase minimum range, can be compensated for by initially moving the mech in the opposite direction to arrive at the same position. The Push command is similar to the Tank's ability, allowing the Jetpack to retain the armor buff from the Impenetrable Defenses expansion while using the jetpack and stacking movement from Infinite Loop. This transport is well-suited for shock trooper roles, positioning itself on turn 1 and retreating after unleashing its attacks on turn 2. It can also serve as a counter-aggro unit by first receiving buffs and then jumping behind enemy lines. AoE weapons are effective, as they can be used near enemies before retreating, capitalizing on the Jetpack's mobility.
