Between the disastrous invasion of the Lyran Alliance, the failed attempt to absorb Clan Wolf, and the loss of so much of their forces to the Jihad, the Jade Falcons were left with an awkward situation: they had all the warriors that they could hope for due to their genetics system, but had scandalously few machines operational. The decision was made that the best way to remedy the situation was to open and re-open as many surviving factories as possible, hopefully while introducing new machines in the process.

Unfortunately, however, what they failed to realize was that due to everything that had gone on, they lacked the sheer number of technicians or willing freebirth (re: civilian) laborers needed to design new machines from scratch while still getting the factories operational. As such, in one last humiliation for the Clan they were forced to adopt redesigned versions of three Lyran battle mechs that they had succeeded in salvaging in numbers.



For the Bushwacker IIC, the general idea was "walking weapons turret". A TComp was added for the sake of increasing overall accuracy, two more tons of ammo were added for the autocannon, and another laser was added to the torso.

Even though the base IS machine has them, I'd have liked to have seen only the XL.

I'd also have used an LB 10-X w/ 2t ammo.

Why the 2t LRM ammo? Do you really need more than 12 volleys per on a brute design?

Maybe upgrade the anti-infantry work to twin SPLs or MiPLs?

What about using a HML or two in place of the ERML just to mix it up?

You could also use the ERML tonnage and AC ammo tonnage to grab an ERPPC instead of an ERLL.
