Rocky Potts is the Master Technician for the Strider's Strikers team. His work
with weapon retrofits and complete chassis overhauls astounds most of the
Strikers. Potts' greatest accomplishment is his 70-ton Infighter BattleMech,
co-built with Dr. Byron Jones from a reconfigured Charger chassis. The Mech
also sports its own prototype weapons of the two's creation. The ThunderClap-20,
as it has been named, uses sonic booms to rattle enemy Mechs apart.
Rocky's friend and ever-companion, Ryan Allen, pilots the Infighter. The two have
a long history that goes back to when Rocky originally lost his arms, during an
attack by Liao BattleMechs on a small BattleMech factory. Ryan saved Rocky
by carrying him to the hospital via a Wasp BattleMech. Rocky still fights in
Mechs, though he is not your average pilot. His skills in the Mech shed greatly
outweigh his skills on the battlefield.
Rocky is an expert tech who provides many of the Strikers with weapon setup and
replacements. Though maimed, his cybernetic Mod IV limbs give him the
necessary control over his tools. Rocky believes he owes Ryan his life, therefore
forever putting him at Ryan's side. Rocky enjoys tinkering with experimental
weapon designs and cross replacements between Mechs. He is known for creating
difficult combinations of weapons and equipment that are often thought impossible
to rig.
Rocky's lance was attacked by a Blakist Mech force in 3068. Despite his position
as a commander, Rocky was busy at the time in the laboratory working on a
simplified chassis for the Infighter. He was evacuated after actions were taken by
Mural Rye-Del, the more experienced tactician of the two. Rocky disguised
himself by riding a Panther Mech and quickly made his way to an emergency
Dropship landing site. In order to save their commander and the Striders' unit's
most important scientist, Mural, Sarah Smythe, and Birdie Sunnman met their
enemies head on in combat. Though they were unable to protect Rocky much, they
nevertheless bought him the time needed to escape.
Rocky has been shaken by the recent series of tragedies within the Strikers unit.
He and Ryan debated whether or not they would stay with the team, but opted to
stick with the unit. Rocky knows that Strider's Strikers need his technical
know-how and has decided to do his best in providing them with his skill.
