"Of the many surprises the Clans have sprung on us, the Behemoth is one of the most remarkable. The original design was considered a grand mistake, and is known to historians as Amaris' folly. The Behemoth was the first BattleMech produced by an optimistic project whose objective was to develop a 'Mech capable of withstanding an assault by an entire standard BattleMech company. These machines were to be put into mass production and used to stop General Kerensky from retaking Terra. The prototype is described as a lumbering monstrosity, whose leg actuators shut down during its first test run, causing the project to be summarily scrapped."

[Editor's Notes: This is a Level 2 copy of the Clan version, but without the XL engines that would make the weight work properly. This leaves it 8 tons overweight, 9 with CASE, but it certainly fits the image of a "lumbering monstrosity whose leg actuators shut down during its first test run".]
