On Hit: Ion Mandibles: On hit, target loses 1d4 heat dissipation for 1 round as ion charge disrupts their heat sinks.
On Critical Hit: Energy Steal: Critical hits with any ion or plasma weapon restore 5 heat capacity to the Scarabaeus until end of next turn.
Activated: Scythe Overcharge: Once per combat, activate to add 2d10 bonus plasma damage to Dorsal Scythes. Generates 8 extra heat.
On Hit: Flamethrower: Targets hit must roll CON DC 14 or suffer burning condition, taking 1d6 fire damage at start of their turn for 2 rounds.
Passive: Beetle Carapace: Six-legged chassis grants +2 AC against knockdown effects and ignores difficult terrain penalties.

The Scarabaeus Ion-Prime is a heavy biomech moving at speed 7. Total heat generated per full alpha strike: 33 (within heatCapacity 38). Ion Mandibles strike in melee range only. Dorsal Scythes and Plasma Siphon fire at range up to 18 hexes. Flamethrower covers a 6-hex cone. Energy Steal triggers once per critical hit, not stackable. Scythe Overcharge is a free action declared before the attack roll. If heat exceeds capacity, roll on the overheat table. Bio-Adaptive Targeting grants +1 to-hit rolls against targets struck in the previous round.
