Description
An original Flea model, the FLE-4 is built on a standard chassis and has a maximum speed of 97.2 km/h. The 'Mech was armed with a Large Laser, allowing it to attempt to keep any heavier 'Mechs at a stand-off range if they attempt to engage. The 'Mech carries two Small Lasers for close in work as well as a Flamer for anti-infantry purposes. However, its paltry two tons of armor led the 'Mech's discontinuation.

Description
Focused on speed and firepower, the lightly armored Flea was an extremely rare sight until the design experiencing a revival as an inexpensive recon and anti-personnel militia 'Mech. Extremely fast but lightly armored, the Flea does its job but don't ask it to fight much.

Description
Built as part of the Wolf's Dragoons exclusive contract with Earthwerks Incorporated to replenish the Dragoon's losses at the end of the Fourth Succession War, alongside renewed production of original Fleas, the FLE-16 was the first new production model of the extremely rare 'Mech in centuries. The variant remedied the earlier FLE-14's weaknesses by combining incredible speed with additional armor and weaponry on a 20 ton chassis. The engine was upgraded to a GM 180 in order to reach a similar maximum ground speed of nearly 150 km/h. It mounts two Medium Lasers and an Flamer while retaining an armor profile like the earlier FLE-15.

Description
A post-Helm Core upgrade of the venerable FLE-15, the -17 keeps the originals speed and armor but upgrades the weapons to a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers backed up by the traditional Smalls and Flamer. To give it an unexpected edge, the FLE-17 carries a MASC system for a speed boost.

Description
The newly-developed COIL system required a few testbed mechs so the designers dragged a few Fleas out of mothballs and built this, the Flea-19. Armed with only a single COIL and a backup Small Laser, the Flea looks lightly armed at first but those who faced it in trials and simulations quickly realized the incredible damage potential of the COIL. Capable of devastating mechs in a single salvo from the COIL, the Flea-19 is devastating to anything it can catch, with the only downside being the shutdown time from the prodigious generated heat.

Description
A rare Kuritan variant of the Flea which was acquired from the Free Worlds League during the Kapetyn Accord, the FLE-21 uses the Combine's beloved Medium Range Missiles to full effect. Armed with a pair of MRM-10s, the FLE-21 has a surprisingly hard punch for a mech its size. The downside is that to carry such weaponry the mech has to sacrifice durability, mounting only the standard 3 tons of armor, though it was upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous. Additionlly the mech carries a fragile XL engine for power. To give it a boost, the Kuritans gave it a MASC system for extra speed.

Description
The predecessor to the Flea, the Trooper while easy to maintain, quickly developed a bad reputation amongst pilots. Not only was it lightly armored, it rode harder than a WorkMech. Its minimal AP armament made it suitable for militia and anti-infantry roles, but even against similar weight class 'Mechs it struggled to hold its own.
