Overview:
The CGR-1A1 Charger is a distinctive 'Mech. Its heavy chassis is well-armored, but virtually
unarmed. Its massive power plant moves it at high speed, but occupies an inordinate amount
of space. The reason for these paradoxes is in the Charger's original production goals. The
CGR-1A1 was intended to be a heavy scout that could enter well-defended areas where it might
have to take damage yet still be able to withdraw at high speed.
Wells Technologies built the Charger in 2665, combining heavy Durallex armor with
Magna light lasers. Though the Mark I lasers are incapable of damaging anything but infantry
and light armored vehicles, the deficiency was intentional. It is intended to discourage
Charger pilots from engaging in protracted fire-fights, for the Charger's job is to obtain
data and do it quickly.
Although the design was heavily criticized, the fact remains that Wells Tech built
over a thousand Chargers, about 500 of which survive to this day. One of these is piloted by
Fai Modoki of the Renegade Lancers Mercenary Company.
Capabilities:
While the original Charger's popgun laser array is almost laughable, its Durallex armor was
not and provided the 'Mech with enough protection to survive even direct hits from a
Class-20 autocannon. This is why in 3052 as the Inner Sphere bitterly fought the Clans, Fai
Modoki was upgrading his Battlemech as best as he could afford and started by replacing the
ageing Durallex Heavy armor with the recently produced Durallex Ferro-Fibrous. This
increased the armor protection nearly 10 percent and added a menacing bulk to the mechs arms
and chest. In addition, Modoki removed four of the Magna Mk I light lasers and replaced them
with two Magna Mk II medium lasers, increasing the overall range by 300 percent and giving a
nasty surprise to Stinger and Wasp pilots used to out ranging Chargers.
Modoki not only replaced the lasers but also added a second surprise in the form
of Federated Commonwealth designed Triple Strength Myomers, increasing overall ground speeds
by 20 percent whenever the mech is run hot. Modoki can with the flip of a switch and a pull
of the trigger match the ground speeds of most front line scouts, such as the Wasp and
Stinger.
However, despite these changes Modoki's Charger Baby Brawler is still plagued by
the short comings of all CGR-1A1s, its armor is not enough to let it stand up in heavy
combat. If Modoki gets too close to the enemy or is trapped by superior numbers he will be
shot to pieces, unable to defend himself.
Despite its intent as a high-speed recon 'Mech, the Charger's design failed.
However, Modoki has managed to breathe a little life into his mech in an ingenious way that
the original designers might have smiled in pride at.

Comment:
With TSM the Charger can be a close combat nightmare! It can get faster to you than any other assault Mech and it's punch and kick are devastating. Ferro Fibrous armor gives it some more protection but it is still dangerous to engage heavily armed opponents. The weaponry is still pathetic but now is able to threaten enemy scouts.

A well made upgrade. Exchanging small lasers for meds is pure logic, as are the armor upgrade and TSM. If it survives to 3060 than it may have ER meds. The performance is probably still substandard, but I must rate it as upgrade, so... (look at rating).
