Firestarter King

A King variant is being produced for both Federate Commonwealth and Draconis Combine forces the only change between the two is the DCMS model is outfitted with a C3 Slave unit, while the AFFC model is outfitted with a TAG both located in the Head. Designed to integrate into front-line units the King variant is a much cheaper option than the two specialist variants which are being allocated to Regimental Command forces for their individual specialty needs.

This  Firestarter is a creation of Achernar Industries in the Federated Suns. It features a 210XL engine that allows this new Mech to carry more weaponry than the original. Armaments include an ER larger a pair each of medium pulse lasers and the ever-present flamers. To perform the task of being a scout a Beagle Active probe has been added. To achieve greater speed triple strength myomers have been installed. The standard armor has been replaced by ferro-fibrous armor and gives it 10% more protection without adding any extra weight.

Been quiet here folks, I know the Firestarter is a niche concept but no more ideas for this one?

We could have used a Firestarter to thaw some of the ice. ;)

It was a little slippery down here today but not as bad as the weather folks made it out to be. Concrete and non asphalt surface did experience frozen rain but the roads didn't freeze per say. We did treat them once and needed spotty touchups throughout with sidewalks needs more attention.

Was able to finish research on the Firestarter factory info and thoughts on internal structure. Hoping to wrap this up by tomorrow even though it is the end of the contest.
