Summoner (Thor)

The Summoner is a highly mobile heavy OmniMech that is commonly used by Clan Jade Falcon in a wide variety of roles. Barely a second-generation OmniMech, the Jade Falcons introduced the Summoner just after becoming the first Clan to win OmniMech technology from Clan Coyote in 2863. The Summoner was code-named Thor, its Inner Sphere reporting name, by Victor Steiner-Davion himself after fighting one on Trellwan. The name was supposedly inspired by the weapons loadout (in Prime configuration): a PPC and an AC, lightning and thunder, which are associated with the Norse god Thor.
The Summoner's balanced mix of speed, mobility, armor, and firepower makes it a highly effective and reliable OmniMech.

Largely supplanted within the Jade Falcons by its successor the Grand Summoner during the Dark Age era, Clan Hell's Horses maintained production of the original on Svarstaad, ensuring by 3150 the Summoner was the oldest continuously produced OmniMech.

The Summoner is powered by a lightweight 350 XL engine that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h. The mobility of the Summoner is enhanced with five jump jets that allow it to jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. The Summoner has double heat sinks, which are capable of handling the heat produced in most of the 'Mechs configurations with ease. To protect it from damage, the Summoner carries nine and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor.

Featuring twenty-two and half tons of pod space on its base chassis, in its primary configuration, the Summoner has a basic yet effective arsenal. The primary direct fire weapon is an ER PPC in the right arm backed up by an LB 10-X Autocannon in the left. For fire support and bombardment, the Summoner has an LRM-15 launcher in the left torso.
