Overview:
    One of the more common configurations used,  the M1 offers indirrect fire while bringing
    along a squad of battle armor to either spot or body guard.

Variants:
    2 alternative branches for this configuration exist.  In the M series different launcher and
    ammo configurations are explored.  Most common retains the LRM-20 and simply adds ammo.
    Usually Thunder mines.
    
    The T branch instead focuses on being a transport.  Multiple squads of heavy and assault
    suits can be transported.  Additional medium and heavy suits can hitch a ride on the
    exterior as well.  This is often considered more effective then bringing an LRM
    configuration of the Caboose.   After all an Ivor squad thinks it's an LRM-16 with over a
    ton and a half of ammo.  And 4 of those can be brought for the equivalent of 2 LRM-15s with
    only a ton of ammo and nowhere near the durability.
    
    There are also Q configurations focusing on military support.  Mess sections and MASH units.
