Overview:
    After "acquiring" blue-prints for the Cyllaros, Etna Industries began drafting potential
    improvements for their own version of the mech.  They began by installing a 300 XL Engine
    and Triple Strength Myomer, letting the mech now reach a top speed of 118.8km/h in its mech
    form.  Engineer also replaced the rare laser heat-sinks with more traditional double
    heat-sinks to better handle the burden of firing the mechs heavy lasers.  Along those lines,
    the its two Improved Heavy Lasers and LRM-15 were swapped out for three standard Heavy
    Medium Lasers, their more rugged design viewed as an asset given its lighter armor, now
    upgraded to a total of 9.0 tons of armor.
    
    Both AP Gauss rifles were removed inorder to mount "arm" weapons.  Its left "arm" was
    equipped with two Heavy Small Lasers and two ER Micro Lasers to allow for excellent heat
    modulation.  Its right "arm" was a Backhoe, traditionally a piece of construction equipment
    but it was found to be useful for objective securement and occassionally some melee attacks.
    This claw like appendage earned the mech a nickname of "centaur" for its appearance.
    
    The final mech was 5 tons lighter than the original, its official title the Cyllaros-Speed 3
    of CLO-S3.  Wildly more expensive than effective, this mech was seen more as a refit to mock
    clanner with than an actual product.  This worked, with the Clan forces destroying multiple
    Etna factories in retaliation for their long standing theft of their technology.  The
    corporation survived, as did a handful of this mech, which now largely sit as show pieces
    rather than tools of war.
