You could call it a 'flee' instead...

About this creation

The Flea is possibly the lightest mech on the battlefield, with a weight of a mere 20 tons. It is unpopular due to it's light armour and firepower, and was a rare sight until the Wolf's Dragoons used it as a cheap scout mech.

The mechs primary weapons are two medium pulse lasers, and these are backed up by a flamer which is good for the anti-personnel role. It also has two rear mounted small lasers for point defence.

This pilot is smiling for some reason. Strange, he said that he wanted an Atlas...

Flea pilot: "Oh no, this is why I wanted an Atlas..."

Mad Cat pilot: "What's this?! Either way, target locked..."

Size comparison.

If I had my way, I'd reduce the speed and equip this mech with 2 Clan ER medium lasers and a Clan Ultra AC2. Then again, if I had my way, I'd be piloting a Mad Cat MKII, not a Flea...

End notes:
Firstly, let me say sorry for the quality of some of these photos, I don't know what happened, but oh well. Anyway, I thought it would be a bit of fun to make another minifig scale mech, and the Mad Cat was the only one I had that was of this scale. So now, the latter has something to shoot at. I'll be quiet now...

Quoting Chris Phipson I've been a battletech fan since I was your age (maybe a bit younger). My favorite light mech was the Hollander (sp?). Something about that tiny mech being able to take out a 100 ton mech in a single shot that just made me smile. Nice work here kid. Maybe work on smoothing out the bodies (SNOT and tile work) a bit but I think you've got a good start here. Keep on brickin! ~ Chris.

I see why you like the Hollander. A gauss rifle on a light mech is an achievement on it's own, let alone being able to take down an assault mech. Anyway, thanks for the comment Phipson! I seriously wasn't expecting one from you. I said that to Hans as well...

Yep, it's small all right. I'd prefer the Madcat too. Nice job on the pulse laser design.
