C3-272 - CALLSIGN "NEEDLE"
An independent mercenary who was present on Rubicon for years before vanishing. Even after their apparent disappearance, there have been reports of a mech that appears from seemingly nowhere, pumps a pilebunker into a priority target, and then leaves before the enemy force can retaliate.
Not much is actually known about them; there usually isn't much to the reports of the Red Handed from survivors, though the different versions of the Red Handed imply a certain level of affinity for this particular mech. Each time the Red Handed is severely damaged in battle, the machine has parts replaced; from the arms, to the legs, to even the head. The only consistent sign is the pilebunker and the bright red of its Coral Reactor, which was installed just before NEEDLE went AWOL.
This particular arena profile is based on a combination of qualities from when NEEDLE was still in ALLMIND's database, and what could be gathered from more current reports. This particular design is designated "THETA"
[I'll probably post art of NEEDLE and the Red-Handed later]
