Description

The Talos is such a popular 'Mech among the Taurian Defense Force that when time came for a new trooper 'Mech design, the TDF lobbied hard for that design to be a Talos and thus was the Talos TLS-1H born. Armed with a PPC and two each LRM-5s and SRM-4s, the -1H has respectable punch for its size. What gives it the real stopping power though is the left arm mounted Hatchet, taking cues from the Lyran Hatchetman. The TLS-1H isn't a complicated 'Mech but it's a simple and effective one and was popular with TDF soldiers.

Description

While an exceptionally early design, the Talos by Vandenberg MilTech was a financial success and a long-standing general mech for the Taurian Defense Forces from its production in the 2530's well into the Succession Wars. An Autocannon/10, two LRM-5s, and an SRM-6 give the Talos weapons effective at multiple range bands while its 8.5 tons of armor give it some longevity on the battlefield.

Description

An experiment by Vandenberg Miltech, the TLS-1T is designed to bring mobile artillery support to the TDF's arsenal. Primarily armed with a Thumper Artillery Piece, the TLS-1T also carries a PPC and a pair of ER Medium Lasers for some direct fire support. A light fusion engine keeps the mech running smoothly while 10 tons of armor keep the -1T well armored against any incoming fire.

Description

The Talos remains the pride and joy of the Taurian Defense Forces but some Taloses did find their way into other Periphery hands. There, they were refit to serve various ends. One such refit is the -1PAH. Armed with an AC/20 and four RL-10s, the -1PAH is short ranged but packs a tremendous punch once it gets there. To ensure it can reach its desired combat range, it is clad in Heavy Plating Armor. Otherwise, it resembles the Talos TLS-1B from which it hails.

Description

The Talos remains the pride and joy of the Taurian Defense Forces but some Taloses did find their way into other Periphery hands. There, they were refit to serve various ends. One such refit is the -1PAL. Built with a Prototype XL engine and Prototype Endo-Steel structure, the -1PAL does one thing and one thing only: deliver a Long Tom Artillery Cannon right to the enemy's face. It has no backup firepower or other equipment of any kind, other than a few Freezer DHS. It's just there to smack them with a Long Tom Cannon and by god does it do that.

Description

During the 3040s, when the Helm Memory Core was starting to revitalize the technology of the Inner Sphere, the Taurian Concordat felt like it was being left behind technologically. To challenge this, Protector Calderon ordered the ancient Talos mech put back into production with modern technology sourced from Inner Sphere manufacturers. The TLS-2B very much resembles its progenitor with the SRM-6 and LRM-5s, but upgrades the autocannon to a LB-10X model. A Medium Laser, double heat sinks, and jump jets round out the improvements.

Description

In the aftermath of the Sanctuary Alliance invasion of the Taurian Concordat, the Treaty of Micros stipulated that the Sanctuary Alliance would assist in replenishing the depleted Taurian Defense Force. To that end, the Alliance produced a number of field refits of existing TDF designs, such as the Talos. Armed with a Sanctuary-spec DBAC/10, twin VRM-6s, and a DRM-4, the Talos TLS-2S is a powerful line combat mech for the TDF.

Description

As time wore on, the shortcomings of the Talos became more pronounced. On a modern battlefield, the mech neither had the range nor speed to keep up with newer designs. Vandenberg Miltech came back at their classic design and revealed this, the TLS-3G. Armed with a Gauss Rifle and a battery of Medium Lasers, it has the range to threaten anything and with its increased speed from a 250-rated Light Fusion Engine and its five jump jets it can bring the laser battery to bear easily.

Description

Armed for the changing battlefield, the Talos-3M is an attempt by the Concordat to bring modern weapons to an ever-shifting field of battle. Equipped for all ranges, the Talos-3M uses Multi-Missile Launchers as its primary armament, with a MML-9 and two MML-5s with plentiful ammo for firepower. An XL 250-rated engine propels the TLS-3M at reasonable speed to bring the MMLs to bear. The most unconventional aspect of the design is the left arm mounted Mace, which can deal heavy damage to opponents very quickly if left unchecked.

Description

The Talos was named after an obscure ancient Terran myth about an angry god of storms and so the pilot of this specific Talos christened his 'Mech after an even more obscure ancient Terran mythical god of war and carnage, Garagos. Garagos is a powerful, deadly, warrior in the arenas, armed with a BattleMech Mace and LB-20X Autocannon for close-up brawls and two Static ER Medium Lasers for range (and to ensure the targets can't escape the Mace). A 300-rated XL Engine keeps it fast while two tons of LBX ammo keep the gun firing in most arena fights.
