==Description==
 
-
The namesake of the Northwind Highlander mercenary unit, this 90-ton, jump-capable assault Mech is a force to be reckoned with.
 
-
 
-
== Tactical Analysis ==
 
-
 
-
'''Strengths'''<br>
 
-
Exceptionally agile for an Assault chassis, the Highlander performs more like a Heavy class mech in many ways. Its acceleration, deceleration and turn rate put it near the top of its class. It had excellent torso maneuverability, and this helps make it a good choice for close range combat. Also capable of carrying [[Jump Jets]], the Highlander can deploy to high ground, or pursue smaller units in areas where other Assault mechs are unable to follow. The ballistic heavy chassis is one of the few mechs capable of carrying the [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] and demands considerable respect wherever encountered.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
