SPECIAL FEATURES

• Long Range: The Sensor package included on the Bobcat includes a long range radar, as well as several other pathfinding options for special operations, including a deployable Probe Droid, and AR integration into the driver's HUD.
• Gyroscopic!: The Bobcat, naturally, has gyroscopic stabilization. This allows it to traverse any terrain, keeping the driver stable while climbing even sheer surfaces.
• Up we go!: The feet are designed with tractor field generators and are magnetized, as well as heavy apposable claws, that allow the Bobcat to climb entirely vertical. Combined with heavy cable launchers, this allows the bobcat supreme maneuverability on the battlefield, making them all-terrain.
• Space is the Place: While the Bobcat is small, it is pressurized as a measure to prevent chemical attacks. This, combined with it's magnetized feet and heavy climbing claws, allows it to act as a space bound walker if needed.

STRENGTHS

• Quick: The Bobcat is a nimble walker, designed for special operations and recon, allowing scout troops and rangers to climb any mountain, and ford any stream. While nowhere near the massive beasts of other GADF designs, it does allow the boys on the ground a lighter, more swift option for ground support in difficult terrain.
• Quiet: The Bobcat, while still a walker, is somehow practically silent in it's movements. By no means 'stealth', it does allow for some quick ambushes, and ground support for troopers wanting a bit more of the sneaky approach. Added sensor jammers allow the Bobcat to avoid detection and direct targeting in a pinch.

WEAKNESSES

• Still a Chicken: The Bobcat, much like bipedal walkers of days past, still suffers from the same inherent flaw that others of it's kind do. Take out one leg, and the whole thing tumbles.
• Thin Skinned: Unlike other GADF walkers, the Bobcat wasn't designed with heavy forward assaults in mind. A good hit from any significant AT weapon would shred through the walker's armor.

DESCRIPTION
Adapting to the Rebel tactics of the WSR, and the frontier worlds of the Farworlds Alliance, the Bobcat has been retrofitted with new tech to allow it supreme mobility as both a scout vehicle, and an infantry force multiplier. Capable of sneaking around forested terrain unheard, or through mountains without trouble, the Bobcat is a mighty addition to the FA's arsenal.
