================================================================================================
Overview:
    This mech is not really a George Forman.   It is however an early variant on the concept
    that would narrow down to the George Forman. But since its at least related to George
    Formans, the unit designation has been retroactively been modified to fit modern naming
    conventions.

Capabilities:
    The most important aspect of this mech compared to the George Forman formula is the standard
    engine.  While making the mech cheaper, it also eats into the available weapons payload.
    The net result is less effective delivery of damage on target.  There are some interesting
    features however.   Long range energy weapons gives some jousting options while the packs of
    Rocket Launchers both enhance the ability of the mech to spike it's heat and provide limited
    augmented long range firepower.
