Overview
Malfurion was unsatisified with the performance of his Tunnel Defenders. Whilst they provided adequate firepower, he disliked the vulnerability his forces had towards point-defense lasers and jamming systems. Determined to give his men and women a fighting chance to circumvent this, Deathstrike found the answer in a suite of old M202 FLASH rocket launchers, which he then modified for the MLA's purposes. The new weapons do less damage than a conventional RPG, but they fire faster, and have a second useful feature - they can be upgraded to fire a 2-point or 4-point barrage - albeit at the cost of a doubled (or quadrupled) reload rate. Because of their ability to fire large numbers of rockets quickly, Flash Troopers are particularly devastating when in groups, or garrisoned inside structures, making them a bigger threat than their standard counterparts, and rendering them capable of overwhelming point-defense units (such as Avengers) through volume of fire.
