Meet the Jackal, the bigger, better, badder and overall meaner brother of the Hyena mech.
I literally started from scratch with this thing, all I knew was that I wanted a mech and that I didn't want it to grow over my head and become a huge 'project' like the Gekka. As I was putting it together I decided I had to maintain the 'Inquistadore' feel and style from past creations above everything else. I trust you can see the similarities.
The Jackal's armament consists of 1 underslug heavy cannon (much like el Tigre's main cannon) on the left arm, an underslug flamethrower on the right arm, a shoulder-mounted autolaser and a shoulder-mounted autocannon.
Jackals are the Inquistadores' main battle mechs, and a common sight in their slave camps. While an inattentive guardsman can still have his head knocked in, the Jackal is a clear symbol of how hopeless the infidels' situation is.
That's part of the reason he has claws: the titanium claws can rip through steel but are also useful for catching runaway slaves... or ripping them apart.
