================================================================================================
Overview:
    Designed as a rebuilt successor to the original Gauntlet, the Gauntlet II
    features a slightly rebuilt frame to accommodate a number of internal design changes.
    Primarily, the original 275 rated light Fusion Engine is replaced with a more powerful 330
    rated extra light engine, and rather than a bulky, heavy MASC system it instead makes use of
    a Supercharger for brief bursts of speed comparable to many light mechs. The cockpit
    assembly is also heavily rebuilt into an ultra-compact form that functions as a fully sealed
    escape pod, though some of the blow-away panels suffer from persistent failures under
    battlefield conditions, complicating ejection.
    
    All told, the Gauntlet II possesses significantly superior speed to its predecessor
    while actually increasing pod space by one ton.
    
    
    All variants of the Gauntlet II possess the Narrow/Low Profile, Easy to Pilot and
    Difficult Ejection Design Quirks.
