Blackjack (prototype)
TR3025
"The production model differed from early prototypes in replacing the twin, arm-mounted GM Flashpoint flamers with heavier but more reliable Whirlwind-l autocannon. This also required replacing the original Vox 225 power plant with the lighter GM 180 which reduced the Blackjack's speed and endurance. Whitworth jump jets were added to increase the mech's mobility."
[Editor's Notes: I assume that there were twin flamers in each arm, for a total of 4. Original speed was obviously 5/8, with no jumpjets. I used all extra tonnage for heat sinks; otherwise, this thing would shut down almost immediately.]
