Overview:
    Technicron Industries, in the in their rampant pursuit of progress would begin the design
    process on a new variant of Awesome. Intending to build off the success of the AWS-11H the
    AWS-12M was intended to include clan-grade weaponry.  However, by this point relations with
    Clan Seafox had deteriorated to the point that Clan Seafox was now actively trying to
    prevent the acquisition of advanced Clan Technologies by the FWL. Technicron in turn would
    try to circumvent this in a number of different ways, through utilizing third party
    companies to making deals with corporations and powers outside of FWL space. These efforts
    would bear some fruit, and Technicron would be able to secure a small (if unreliable) flow
    of Clan ER-PPC 's for use. Due to the lack of surplus Clan ER-PPC's (and hence why you are
    not getting an IS AWS-C) the design team would decide to invest all the freed tonnage into
    making the Mech as tough as possible.
    
    To achieve this the AWS-12M would replace the three heavy PPC's with three Clan-Spec ER
    PPC's. The main armament would be supplemented by a small x-pulse laser installed in the
    head. A Standard Fusion Engine would be utilized along with a Compact Gyro. For defense the
    AWS-12M would be sheathed in 15.5 tons of standard armor. While much like the TDR-1SC the
    AWS-12M would utilize both and Angel ECM and an (laser) AMS system, allowing the mech to
    "de-streak" missiles, if necessary, before knocking them out of the sky. Additionally, the
    team behind the 12M would Identify vulnerable locations on the mech to be re-enforced with
    additional protection. 25 Domestically produced Clan-Tech double heat sinks would be
    provided to keep the mech cool while firing all its weapons while providing some support for
    the laser AMS system or dealing with damage to the engine. When the AWS-12M appeared for
    sale in 3155 attached to it was the slogan ?This isn?t an anchor, this is the anchor.?
