I have been so crazy busy but I have two done with another in the works.

QKD-5I Quickdraw is the Imperial variant for the Sohei done at the Imperial Institute of Technology. While masterarminas leadoff one was good there were a few things I wanted such as C3 networked, Guardian ECM protected, and I did a poor man's Streak SRM-6 with 3 Streak SRM-2s instead of his SRM-6 with Artemis.

QKD-5I QUICKDRAW

Mass: 60 tons
Chassis: LAW Advanced Type E EndoSteel [EndoSteel upgrade]
 Power Plant: GM 300 XL [from Qandahar]
Cruising Speed: 54 kph
Maximum Speed: 86 kph
Jump Jets: Chilton 460
   Jump Capacity: 150 meters
Armor: Riese 575 with CASE [tonnage increased for max protection]
Armament:
1 [] LRM-15 with Artemis IV FCS
3 [] Streak SRM-2s
4 [] Medium Lasers
1 [] Small Laser
Manufacturer: Luthien Armor Works
Primary Factory: Luthien
Communications System: Garret T12E [same] with Gaurdian ECM Suite [add]
Targeting and Tracking System: Dynatec 2180 [same] with C3 Slave [add]

Overview:
High tech Draconis upgrade requested by the Sohei
Work done at the Imperial Institute of Technology (IIT) on Xinyang, Imperial variants

Capabilities:
Initial tests with the larger Hermes 360 XL Engine used on the Grand Dragon proved feasible and intriguing. Extensive cost benefit analysis determined that utilizing this power plant would be too costly and reduce the ‘Mechs armament to ineffectiveness.
Instead designers opted to go with the GM 300 XL Engine manufactured on Qandahar by Dow-Nexus Fusion Products. Used on the MAD-5D produced on Quentin
C3 Slave

The QKD-5W Quickdraw is my take on our original variant Bradshaw with ER Large Lasers in the arms which can flip. More of a solo combatant than even the Imperial model or the NARC model it is meant to bracket fire with eight Medium Lasers complementing the two ER Larges. So it is 16 at long or 40 at short, although I suppose a mix is possible. All energy weapons means it can remain in the field indefinitely. Basically a ComStar/mercenary variant deployed during the Marik Civil War which is made possible by a surplus of 300XL Engines and Ferro-Fibrous armor.
