================================================================================================
Overview:
    With reports rolling in on the Quasimodo Arc-Royal Mech Works would produce this variant of
    the Grasshopper as a response, seizing on the opportunity to market the new variant to the
    LCAF (and other interested buyers) as a counter to the Leagues Huckaback successor.

Capabilities:
    Utilizing a Clan XL engine and a Clan endo-steel structure, they would install three Medium
    VSP Lasers and two light PPC's w/ capacitors. The cockpit would be returned to the head,
    while a standard IS SRM-4 would be added in place of the 7P's ER-medium laser. The ammo
    would be stored in the right torso behind a CASE II system. It would retain the 6 improved
    jump-jets of the 7P and protected by 13.5 tons of Standard Armor. While not the fastest mech
    in open territory the hope was that the design would be able to dictate and control range in
    areas of extreme topography changes and in urban warfare.
