Designer Notes
The Jaguarundi was designed to be a heavy scout capable of maneuvering across broken terrain while maintaining a good speed. The machine was originally planned by Northco to be competitive with the higher end Shaian Mechanics Gears such as the Strike Cheetah. To save on development cost, the Nortcho engineering team turned to one of the firm's most agile designs, the relatively recent Jaguar, as a basic chassis. By reducing its armor and increaasing its running speed through newer actuators inspired by the Nemesis Jaguar's, the modified Jaguar, now somewhat reduced in size and mass, showed a greatly improved physical performance curve. The final product, however, was slower than the Strike Cheetah and much more expensive. Most of the expense came from its improved control systems, which were based on captured NNet designs dating back to the War. While the machine did perform well, its learning curved proved to be somewhat erratic.
