Hey gang, while working on another idea I put together this idea for a SLDF Royal Black Knight. I couldn't find any canon attempts to do so. Let me know what you think.
Design Notes - My proposed Royal variant of the Black Knight. AKA the Royal Knight. Replaced the standard Vlar 300 Fusion engine with a GM 375 XL enabling greater movement. Mech can now go 5/8 instead of 4/6. Heat Sinks were doubled and fit thanks to larger engine. Extended Range (ER) versions replace the standard PPC and 2 Large Lasers of the BL6-KNT. Dropped Beagle Active Probe to make room for these modifications.

Specials:
-
BL-6b-KNT - Used by the SLDF Royal BattleMech regiments, the 6b upgraded the dissipation system with double heat sinks and used the tonnage saved to upgrade the Large Lasers to Large Pulse Lasers. In addition, the PPC is upgraded to an ER PPC.

Damn, Ice beat me again.

Where was that at Ice?

3050U

Check with Ice or Myself between us we usually have the answer or know where to look, but very good effort.
-
Ah that explains it, I looked in TRO3075 and Historical Op Klondike.
-
Yeah, there's a handful of Royal variants mentioned in 3050U, as variants in the Star League section. Black Knight, King Crab, can't remember the rest of the top of my head. They really are scattered over three books.

Fear the speed of the Fennecs and the Hellions. ;D

Well being a speed demon how do you like my Royal compared to the canon version?
-
Honestly, it kinda takes the methodical, hard-to-kill flashbulb and turns it into a quicker, yet more fragile wimp. Then again, that's what happens when you slap an XL engine in a moderately armored torso.

Great Effort

Catapult springs to mind.

XL are great to increase speed and/or firepower but makes 'Mechs more fragile.
This is exactly what happens to your Royal Black Knight.
