==Notes==
*Technology of Semi-Robotic Control & Artificial Intelligence fitted into a Battle Armor size chassis is fluff. There are no rules to allow this to operate, however player may treat them as normal battle armor. Destruction of the "Trooper" in the armor, is consider robotic AI's destruction. The mouth manipulator needs to treated as a unique Design Quirk which current rules do not allow any kind manipulator or salvage arm to be mounted. This should allow for biting attacks not unlike real canine. This can not be duplicated in MegaMek.
