The Whitworth WTH-3D was developed by Johnston Industries as an alternative to Kallon Industries WTH-2D.  As with the WTH-2D, the 3D model also switches to an Extra Light Fusion Engine, in this case the LTV 160XL developed for the LCT-4D Locust.  Rather then increase the speed of the mech, the design team chose to save weight, allowing for a more powerful weapons array.

The Longbow-10 LRM Launchers have been removed and replaced with the Valiant Arbalest LRM 15 Launcher, increasing firepower by 50%.  In order to make the new weapons fit, the designers had to remove 1 ton of armor.  By switching to Star Guard Ferro-Fibrous armor, they were able to provide nearly the same protection as the WTH-1.  Unfortunately the bulky Ferro-Fibrous armor precluded them from increasing the ammo supply.  As a result the mech only has 8 rounds for each of its LRM Launchers.  Should the mech enter production (as opposed to just refitting existing mechs), it has been suggested that the mech could use an Endo Steel Chassis to save mass for additional ammunition.

Developed from a Solaris 7 Arena Mech built by Omnitech Industries, the Whitworth-2S is designed to perform as an Elemental Hunter-Killer. Armed with an ER Large Laser and brace of Medium Pulse Lasers to handle the onslaught of Elementals An SRM-6 and LRM-5 serve as the backup to the laser battery. The Mech is to be built at the Edasich Mobility Systems factory near the Edasich Motors facility on Aur.

The WTH-7D was created in response to Duke Sandoval's complaints that the AFFC was stripping the Combine border to dangerous levels in order to send more troops to fight the Clan Invasion.  Along with large numbers of Urbanmechs (which were converted into the UM-RD variant) the First Prince sent a number of mechs that were otherwise slated for decommissioning.  Among those mechs were large quantities of the WTH-1 Whitworth.  While considered better then the Urbanmech, the Duke was upset as he was losing many heavy and assault mechs and was being forced to replace them with light and medium models. 

After looking at several different options, the Duke and his team settled on an upgrade that was proposed by the engineers at the Robinson Standard Battleworks.  Having already proven successful with their upgrade to the Urbanmech, they now took on the challenge of improving the Whitworth.  Their final design, radically altered the weapons to create a hard hitting mech.  Stripping off the LRMs, the replaced them with a pair of arm mounted PPCs.  In an effort to speed production, the arm mounts were modeled on those of the Warhammer, this resulted in the mech acquiring the nickname of the WhitHammer.  The arm medium lasers were relocated to the torsos and supplemented by a Holly 4 Tube SRM Launcher mounted over the right shoulder. The left shoulder features a high power searchlight similar to the Warhammer.  Unlike the Warhammer the search light is not tied into the tracking system and so is of limited value in combat.  The main reason for including the searchlight was to make the Whitworth look like a Warhammer, and hopefully encourage enemy forces to retreat.   

In order to save mass of all of these upgrades the design team made a number of changes to the mech, beyond removing the LRM launchers.  Similar to Johnston Industries WTH-3D, the engine has been replaced with the LTV 160XL which is used on the LCT-4D Locust. The Durallex Light armor was replaced with StarGuard Ferro-Fibrous armor, this allowed the design team to remove 1 ton of armor which providing nearly identical protection.  The head mounted Intek Medium Laser was also removed during the upgrade.  The primary reason for this was to reduce the power draw on the engine, which had greatly increased due to the new energy based weapons array.

The final change was to upgrade the heat dissipation system.  With the high heat generated by the Particle Cannons, the design team switched to double strength heat sinks. Even so the mech has a tendency to run hot and mechwarriors are encourage to stagger their fire.

The new Whitworth has been deployed with a number of Draconis March Militia regiments where it has been met with great enthusiasm.  While the mech is not heavy mech, it provides quite the punch.  The mechwarriors assigned to the new Whitworth have been anxious to try their new mechs in actual combat.

Didn't mean to do another one- but the more I thought about it the more I thought this should have been a TC mech (partly inspired by the idea that the TDF acquired lots of Whitworths when they were deccomissioned in the mid 3050s).  So here is a somewhat similar version.


WTH-4T

Power Plant: LTV 160
Cruising Speed: 43.2 kph
Maximum Speed: 64.8 kph
Jump Jets:  None

   2 Magna Hellstar PPCs
   2 Intek Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Laconis Arsenal (refit)
Primary Factories: Laconis
Communications System: Garret T14
Targeting and Tracking System: Garret D2j

Type: WTH-4T Whitworth
Technology Base: Inner Sphere
Tonnage:    40 tons

Equipment:                 Mass
Internal Structure            4
Engine      160         6      
   Walking MP:   4
   Running MP:  6
   Jumping MP:  0
Heatsinks       12(24)      2
Gyro                  2
Cockpit               3
Armor Factor   125         7   
         IS      Armor
Head         3      9

The WTH-4T is a surprising new version of the Whitworth that has been seen operating in the Taurian Concordat.  The Concordat has operated a small number of WTH-Cs that were purchased from the Magistracy of Canopus during the First Succession War as well has a number of WTH-1s that were captured from the Federated Suns. Following the AFFC's Future Victor 49 excerises, Protector Calderon began looking at ways to improve the capabilities of the TDF.  While most of the efforts were directed at relatively worthless fortifications, there was an effort to improve the Concordat's mech forces.  Project Light Deception looked at trying to make a medium mech with the firepower of a heavy mech, in an effort to offset the Concordat's numerical inferiority.  After looking at, and discarding, several different ideas  the engineers came around to an upgrade of the Whitworth.  After looking at the WTH-C with it's single PPC and LRM 10 Launcher, one of the engineers questioned if they could replace the other LRM with a PPC.  After several attempts they managed to come up with a working prototype.

The designers started by removing the right torso LRM launcher and replacing it will a PPC.  Unlike the WTH-C, the designers did not have to remove the arm mounted medium lasers. Due to the extensive changes that were made to the mech, they were able to redesign the torso to reroute the power feeds for the lasers. The design team did remove the head laser to free up room for other changes. 

In order to cope with the high heat output of the PPCs, the designers added 2 heat sinks and switched to double strength models.  This helps keep the mech cool in most situations.  The Whitworth Jetlift jump jets were removed from the mech to save mass for the additional heat sinks.  The other major change was the replacement of the old armor with new Durallex Light Ferro-Fibrous armor.  While weighing a ton less then the original armor plating, it provides nearly identical protection. 

The new mech performed well during trials and the TDF has decided to modify all WTH-1s to this standard.  The upgrades are taking place at the Laconic Arsenal.  It remains to be determined if the WTH-Cs will be upgraded to this standard or left as they are.

I have no idea for fluff but would be interesting to see a design that actually totally redesigns the 'Mech to be a AC model, considering the Whitworth was a rifle it would have made more sense for this name to be used for a design with one.

I stayed with the missile boat concept myself for both my designs. Yesterday I updated the 2M with fluff and here is the 2D, enjoy!

WTH-2D WHITWORTH

Mass: 40 tons
Chassis: Whitworth Type I
Power Plant: Nissan 200 XL
Cruising Speed: 54 kph
Maximum Speed: 86 kph
Jump Jets: Whitworth Jetlift
   Jump Capacity: 150 meters
Armor: StarGuard CIV Ferro-Fibrous with CASE
Armament:
4 Holly Mark II Streak SRM-2s
1 Intek Medium Laser
2 Martell Medium Pulse Lasers
Manufacturer: Corean Enterprises
   Primary Factory: New Avalon
Communication System: Garret T14
Targeting & Tracking System: Garret D2j

Overview:
Efforts to maximize the combat efficiency of BattleMechs with lostech began prior to the Clan Invasion at the New Avalon Institute of Science. One such example was undertaken by Doctor Laurence Whitlock following his graduation from the NAIS. His father was a member of Team Banzai killed during the battle of Northwind piloting the family's Whitworth. Restoring this war machine to operation was Laurence's passion and optimizing its performance became his obsession. Approaching the Banzais, as well as his commanders in the NAIS Cadet Cadre, Laurence proposed a can't miss project that would give birth to the WTH-2D.

Capabilities:
Dcotor Whitlock utilized the classic four-ton Whitworth Type I chassis and powered it with the new Nissan 200 XL Engine boosting its top speed to 86 kilometers per hour.  This allowed the addition of a fifth center torso mounted Whitworth Jetlifter enabling it to jump one hundred and fifty meters at a time. The key to his entire concept was the replacement of the 'Mechs entire arsenal, exept the head mounted Intek Medium Laser, with four Holly Mark II Streak SRM-2s and twin Martell Medium Pulse Lasers. These Star League era weapons gave this Whitworth unrivaled short-range accuracy which is devastating in close quarter combat like in urban centers. Varying ranges for the Pulses and the no lock no fire nature of the Streaks mitigate the effects a jumping Alpha Strikes could have on its ten Double Heat Sinks. However, the potential firepower that this model can rain down on opponents is truly impressive. Finally, seven and a half tons of StarGuard CIV Ferro-Fibrous with CASE from Valkyrie provided maximum protection.

Deployment:
   The Whitlocker, as Dr. Whitlock called his personal creation, proved to be an effective proof of concept 'Mech spurring limited production. Retrofitting of existing Whitworth chassis is being carried out by Corean Enterprises in association with NAIS and Banzai Weapons Design Company on New Avalon. Completed WTH-2D units have gone to Team Banzai and the NAIS Cadet Cadre where they have been well received.

Here you will the Kai family.

Extract from The Might of the Pillar of Jade or how the Combine economy managed to help in the fight against the Clans, Doons School of Business Press, Donegal, 3053

Whitworth Specialty Manufacturing (WSM) is a strange bird. Incorporated in 3035 on Benjamin and focusing on producing replacement parts for and some refitting/upgrading kits for the maligned Whitworth, no one understood how this company could survive on a niche market with less than 300 Whitworths operating in the Inner Sphere at that time.
Rumours spread that ComStar had something to do with it and was pouring money into this company but nothing could be proven and it remained on Benjamin focusing on the retrofit of Whitworths keeping them alive and in fighting conditions and proposing to everyone who could afford it the reworking of the faulty actuator system in the legs and hips.
In 3050, following the Clan Invasion, the company introduced the WTH-2, a straight forward upgrade that was unfortunately a mistake as it dropped two thirds of the close range firepower for some improvement of the LRM thanks to the use of Artemis IV Fire Control System. The feedback from the units was  terrible as the Clans were able to use their extra speed to get at closer range, leaving the newly upgraded Whitworth vulnerable.

This is when Whitworth Specialty Manufacturing decided to go for a bold plan. They would go a different road and produce the WTH-2 Kai (modified in Japanese), proposing newest and more efficient package, able to appeal to the few Houses units still using Whitworth as well and perhaps more interestingly to the Periphery and mercenary owners of this ‘Mech. If sales were enough and if the reputation of the new versions of the Whitworth was high enough, perhaps WSM would be able to be sponsored by the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery to build a factory to produce more advanced versions of the Whitworth.

This resulted in two generations of retrofit for the Whitworth produced at a year of interval. The WHT-2 Kai 0X were simpler upgrades (that all involved the addition of CASE, meaning still heavy work to upgrade them) meant for an easier maintenance and repair time and thus perfect for the Periphery or for not top-of-the-line units while the next step the WHT-2 Kai 1X brought things like Double Heat Sinks. But both benefited from an upgrade in terms of software bringing them up-to-date both in terms of efficiency and protection.

Since things were to go quickly, WSM turned to suppliers from the Draconis Combine only to help increase its stockpile and this turned out to be a wise move as in a few weeks, every single upgrade kit had been bought but in less than a month after that, Whitworth Specialty Manufacturing was back on tracks.

The WHT-2 Kai 01 is a WTH-1 with few twists and aimed specifically at the Draconis Combine with the inclusion of a C3 Computer Slave. This new piece of technology and the inclusion of CASE were made possible through the use of 4 LRM-5 instead of the classical LRM-10, giving it the same number of tubes, even if the damage is more spread.
The WHT-2 Kai 01 was seen team-working with the newest Panthers from the DCMS forming part of a C3 unit and managing to easily tag team with their weapons being complementary between the heavy concentrated punch and the more spread one.

The WHT-2 Kai 02 is a more flexible ‘Mech with 2 Small Pulse Lasers being added as a last line of defence against Elementals in restricted grounds. This change was meant after further analysis of the battleroms and the importance of urban battlefields to defend the Inner Sphere against the Clans. This addition was done by dropping the C3 Slave and replacing the standard armour by a Ferro-Fibrous one (the loss of 2% of the total protection was seen as something worth the added firepower and extra efficiency). The only complain is that this ‘Mech can run hot if no extra care is taken in selecting the firing weapons.
In spite of this, this kit has proven popular among the Periphery realms as they had been looking for something low cost to beef up their defences against the Elementals and for those having some Whitworths this option was seen as the best one.

The WHT-2 Kai 03 earned quickly an unofficial nickname, the “Half” as an engineer looking at its weapons joked that it was “half a Crusader” and even if it was not intended, she was right. With a SRM-6, 3 LRM-15, it packs half the missile firepower of this classical fire-support machine. However, it still has two of the original Medium Lasers adding their firepower when danger gets close in. An 11th Heat Sink was added to help cool it a little. Those looking for flexibility are enjoying the degree of freedom provided by the “Half”.

The WHT-2 Kai 11 uses Ferro-Fibrous armour like the Kai 02 and thanks to it adds some protection  against Elementals in the form of a Small Pulse Laser. The use of Double Heat Sinks allows it to fire without having to worry too much for its heat.

The WHT-2 Kai 111 upgrade turns the Whitworth into a pure fire-support ‘Mech with 4 LRM-5 and one ER Large Laser in the Left Arm. However, no extra firepower is there should the fight come to close combat.

The WHT-2 Kai 12 is a “simple” upgrade upgrading the Heat Sinks to Double ones to help deal with the heat generated by the weapons. However this was only possible through a complete rework of the internals of the ‘Mech.
However as soon as it went out, the Kai 12 became an instant hit, replacing the Kai 02 in the orders.

The WHT-2 Kai 13 upgrades the firepower of the Kai 03 thanks to the combo of Ferro-Fibrous armour and Double Heat Sinks (bringing the total number back to 10), allowing it to replace the SRM-6 by twin SRM-4 and adding a Small Pulse Laser.

The Kai series did much to restore confidence in the capacity of WSM to really improve the Whitworth and the use of several of these retrofited ‘Mechs in the Periphery against Pirate units did much too for the communication of the company.
However due to its focus on a niche market, future remains uncertain for Whitworth Specialty Manufacturing. It is unknown if they will manage to thrive or will dwell into obscurity and be forgotten.

"In turn they tested each Clan namesake
in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
Khan Cage smiled and said, "And that is how we shall be."
