: My soloution to this one (after one or two tries) was to customize a
: 'mech : for the job.  I think I did something like a 60 or 55 ton 'mech
: with either : a 5 or 6 walk speed (I still think in terms of the board
: game -- that is, the : speed of the mech is five or six clicks on faster
: from 0).  Then I added 2 : LRM15s, and Med. Pulses.  To win, Make it by
: the encampment of Falcons, using : the IFF code.  Then, when you enter the
: actuall terraformer core, destroy the 2 : or 3 mechs inside.  No others

: hell.  (the reason for using a _fast_ mech) Flee the explosion : or you
: will bite it too. 

The Default Mad Dog will do just fine if you're a good shot at the legs.
Just inside the door is a Nova and Rifleman. As soon as you clear the 
door, launch as many LRM's at it as possible (40?). It will blow up 
almost immediately, or at least lose a leg. Then turn around and destroy 
the Rifleman. The Summoner at the door usually do not come in, but tries 
to head you off OUTSIDE. And if it follows up to the other side, you get 
free shots at the terraformer core, and it won't catch up if you run for 
the door.
