Overview:
    A refit of an ancient 1A1 charger mean to show examples of mixing of IS and clan tech to the
    Hell's Horses. While some may consider the use of hatchet as a sign of an inferior
    mechwarrior, their experience in the Jihad with the Jinggau had showed that IS tech and
    designs are not as primitive and useless as believed.
    
    Coupled with the nasty close range fighting they experienced on Hsien, the Horses are at
    least willing to try out a small number of these in non clan engagements.
    
    This is a customized second prototype, as the initial prototype had a distinct lack of long
    ranged weaponry, this updates the design to take advantage of ERPPCs to make it into an
    acceptable line mech, and with its brace of MPLs and the ER Small it can reliably maintain
    the optimal heat curve needed to sustain the TSM system.

Capabilities:
    Unlike the original, this mech gives up the ease of triggering the TSM system for two
    massive (and more commonly available) clan spec ERPPCs. This means that the unit is able to
    walk, not run, and fire its twin PPCs to instantly trigger its TSM system, then the 5 MPLs
    on their own contributes the majority of the heat needed to maintain that heat, and if the
    mech was stationary after crashing into an opponent then the ER Small can come in handy as
    well.
    
    In order to upgrade to the heavier medium pulses, a change to clan Ferro Fibrous armor was
    needed alongside the removal of the ECM and coolant pods. The rest of the mech was the same
    as the second prototype.
