{{Mech Description
|Description=House Davion contract the Maltex Corporation to redesign one of its oldest chassis into a quick striker harrasser Mech. The result was the Assassin II, which exceeded House Davion's expectations and is beginning to see heavy use on the battlefield for its ability to count House Liao's superior stealth technology.
|Strengths=A blistering missile array and high speed combined with ECM and LAMS all point to the Assassin II being an excellent long-range harasser. The position of the top missile rack is useful in this application with its ability to fire over a hill without exposing the remainder of the chassis. 360º degree torso twist gives this mech an outstanding range of motion allowing it to "Hit and Run" on a battlefeild, ducking from cover to cover. This also enables it to fire even when in full retreat. The other weapons slots can be outfitted with a large variety of small to medium direct fire arms, giving this mech a substantial defense when in close.
|Weaknesses=Armor is a very large consideration when outfitting this mech. The Assassin II only works well as a support unit for this reason and only the most skilled, agressive or suicidal pilots should attempt close-quarters fighting with it, especially against heavier chassis.
