Overview:

TR3025

The engineers decided not to mount a PPC on the Vindicator's other arm, which would make the 'Mech into another Warhammer. Not only would the additional PPC overburden the 'Mech's cooling system, but the Vindicator also had to be able to pick up and carry things.

[Editor's Notes: Not being able to 'pick up and carry things' means the prototype had no hands. I removed 4 heat sinks (so it would still 'overburden the 'Mech's cooling system') and the LRM5 and ammo, and added a second PPC.]

Overview:

TR3025

"The first vindicators had machine guns mounted on their left arms instead of the small laser carried by the current models."

[Editor's Notes: Machine 'guns' is plural, so removed the SL and 1 HS and added 2 MGs and 1/2 ton ammo. Easy, and works farily well.]
