Since I have had a lot of fun torturing my friends when I use light hovercraft, I figured that the J Edgar could use a revamp. So I created the Omni version. It's a little faster, has more armor, and a 6 ton turret capacity for weapons and equipment. In the AU that we campaign in, I have created around a dozen variants, both IS and Clan. Here is the Prime model your consideration and heckling:

The Prime model is a tribute to the original.
A few more of the Inner Sphere variants for the little tank:
A: Similar to the Prime, but replaced the MML's with a NARC launcher to give the group more accuracy
B: Longer range energy weapons
C: The least favorite variant so far, was designed for ammo restricted missions and raids.
D: The electronics platform.
E: A light tank and light Mech hunter.
