The Black Python is similar in many ways to the Warhammer and Marauder BattleMechs. Though it is faster than those heavies, it has a similar weapons load-out with comparable damage, albeit with much more accurate damage potential. This expensive second-line 'Mech avails itself of all weight saving technologies available, including an XL Engine, Endo Steel frame, and eleven tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. The paired Large and Lambda Medium Pulse Lasers provide highly accurate firepower at ranges that are possible to close in on thanks to the 'Mech's speed. Four Small Pulse Lasers and two Machine Guns provide more firepower at close range. All of the lasers are made even more accurate by the inclusion of a Targeting Computer. Fifteen double heat sinks keep heat levels in check.

Description

A substantial redesign by Clan Steel Viper that changed the outward appearance of the Black Python. This model removes the large lasers of the original and replaces them with a pair of Omega Heavy Large Lasers. One jump jet is removed, lowering the 'Mech's jumping capacity to 120 meters. The added heat of the heavy lasers necessitated the inclusion of four additional double heat sinks. Even with that, enough tonnage was freed up to add another ton of armor.

Description

This variant of the 3 removes the Machine Guns and replaces them with an ER Medium Laser. This makes the design more effective against hardened targets and eliminates any ammo dependency, but makes the 'Mech slightly more vulnerable to infantry.

Description

Armed entirely unlike normal Black Pythons, the BP-5 was made for a solahma warrior that needed a mech and parts were scarce. Armed with a simple loadout of twin UAC/10s and ER Medium Lasers, the BP-5 brings heavy firepower to any engagement thanks to its 80 kph speed and 5 jump jets. 10 double heat sinks keep the mech chilly and 5 tons of ammo ensure the guns are rarely silent. The mech turned out to be so effective that it entered general production as a real variant and the warrior won the right to a bloodname using his original mech.

Description

The Black Python, typically speaking, is a dedicated knife-fighter, armed with a dazzling array of close-range lasers and machine guns for point-blank destruction of its foes. However, the Black Python BP-5A diverges significantly. Armed with two ER PPCs and a Gauss Rifle, the -5A is built to hang back and defeat enemies from a distance, something it has little trouble doing. A pair of Machine Guns exist for close-range defense, almost as an afterthought.
