This is a upgrade of th Grasshopper. Large Laser is moved to the head while a larger an Artemis-equipped LRM-10 replaces the LRM-5 and is placed in the large laser's old location. Medium lasers are upgraded to pulses and jump jets are moved to the torso so that a pair of DHS can be mounted in the legs.

Cazador

Mass: 35 tons
Technology Base: Clan Level 2
Chassis: Endo Steel
Power Plant: 280 XL Fusion
Cruising Speed: 86.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 129.6 [172.8] km/h
Jump Jets: 8
Jump Capacity: 240 meters
Armor: Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:

Manufacturer: Imperio Militar Del Escorpion
Location: Aragon
Communications System: Unknown

OVERVIEW
Building on the highly mobile light cavalry traditions of the Ice Hellions, the Erdani Light Horse, and the Goliath Scorpions quickly led the Imperio to create the Cazador OmniMech. Using the Ostscout as a model the scientist and engineers of this new realm created a capable war machine that can do much more than its predecessor. It is this theme that the leaders of the multi cultural nation hope to build upon.

CAPABILITIES
Rapidly relocating from the Homeworlds forced engineers to rely on more traditional sources of Clan tech. Its primary configuration draws heavily upon the Ostscout producing a general combatant more attuned to recon duty. A single ER Large Laser is a powerful long range weapon which works well to protect an impressive electronics package that includes a Guardian ECM, an Active Probe, and a TAG.
Alternate Configuration A retains the Guardian ECM and uses an ER PPC to become an effective sniper. B reminds many observers of the SLDF Sling with its five LRM-5s and two tons of ammunition. C some say was inspired by the Firestarter and uses a Medium Pulse Laser, three Small Pulse Lasers, along with four Flamers to combat infantry.

What happened to the Council of 6 complot?

the Scorpions were obscured they were never part of the Council of six. I always thought is that a Dark Council should be formed bye the wolves in exile, Nova cat, and Goliath scorpion.

What happened to the Council of 6 complot?

The Escorpion aren't involved in the Council of Six or of the Clan Grand Council.

But I read in the Wars of Reaving Supplemental that the Council of Six was trying to deal with it and that there was a plot going on (I don't want to spoil things).

The Escoprion aren't members though, one reason they need to build up their military forces...

I think I am misunderstood here.
The Council of 6 is plotting against the Escorpion.
And I wonder if you take it into account in this contest.

Here is my submisstion for this category: Fire Wasp

Its an improved version of the classic wasp.  The familiarity of the design should help the freeborn technicians on how to repair it.  With the design itself closely resembling its original design, it should help the warrior surprise its opponents.  Since its T&T system will identify it as a 20 ton Wasp.
