The Piranha Scorpion MkII:



Weapons researcher Scorpion first made a bid to enter the world of AG racing duing the FX300, claiming they had developed a system of enhancing weapon accuracy while staying within AG guidelines. Without the expertise and history in the area, their first prototype was rejected from competition.

Undeterred, Scorpion went in search of a partner who could bring that expertise. Piranha, being no stranger to partnerships and sharing a history of rejected prototypes, seemed the obvious choice. In the early stages of the FX400, the first Piranha-Scorpion was submitted. A sleek dark craft, boasting greater weapons power, was accepted by AG authorites.

At the last minute the Piranha-Scorpion was pulled, the official explanation being simply that Piranha were unhappy with the branding of the craft. Some suspected that the merger would cannibalise Piranha's own success and that the merger was over.

However, to the surprise of the industry doom-mongers, Piranha unvealed the Piranha-Scorpion MkII, boasting sting as well as bite and, importantly, branding in keeping with Piranha tradition.

The firepower potential remains to be seen but some insiders are speculating that, in spite of Scorpion's involvement, the weapons system of the MkII is no different to Piranha's standard FX400 craft.
