Designer Notes
The command and communications variant of the Tiger, the Sabertooth was introduced in TN 1873 based on upgrade packages produced in the field by the technicians of the United Mercantile Federation Army. Just as the Tiger was designed to ahve an edge over the Hunter, so the Sbertooth was designed to exceed the specifications of the Headhunter. Like the Headhunter, the Sabertooth saw a new head assembly designed for it, this one including a raised crest which housed a Garimas 3500 communications array with a range superior to the Headhunter's own. To prevent vulnerability to enemy electronic warfare equipment, the Garimas 3500 featured signal boosters and frequency scanners dedicated to defeating enemy jamming. The Sabertooth maintained the same weaponry as the standard Tiger, although it was supplemented by a standard vibroknife and a M25 pack gun. The pack gun was included in order to serve as back-up weapon for the unit commander or a squadron mate who may have lost his AR-25 autocannon. To help ensure the survival of the junior officers piloting most Sabertooth, overlapping durashset plates were installed inside the cockpit, giving the pilot extra protection.
