================================================================================================
Overview:
    While still relatively rare, the AS8-D Atlas has proven to be pretty successful with its
    Mechwarriors, leading designers to consider carrying out a full production run of these
    Mechs.
    
    
    
    However before doing so, the designers got feedback from the Mechwarriors, resulting in what
    is essentially a cleaned-up version of the AS8-D.

Capabilities:
    The AS8-D2 mounts an array of weaposn that is almost identical to the original. Only two
    real differences exist. The first is the upgrading of the Medium Laser to an Extended range
    variety and moving it up to the head while the second was moving the Guardian ECM system
    from its awkward placement on the right arm right smack into the center torso where nothing
    less than a lucky (or unlucky) shot or complete destruction of the mech can affect it.
    
    
    
    The rest of its weapons, including the deadly RAC, remain completely unchanged.

Deployment:
    Plans are now being made for a full production run as well as conversion of the five
    original Mechs (up from the original three) to the new standard.
