An old Star League design. The name, which is german, means "grunt". I thought this apt, as the 'mech is designed as an unspectacular but efficient fighting machine, like the old Wolverine-Griffin-Shadow Hawk triad.
It has an LRM-5, to keep it from being helpless at extreme ranges, and the firepower ramps up rather sharply as it closes. It's not heat-perfect, but that's part of the fun, right?

Actually it looks like it's stuck half way between 2H and 2K Shadow Hawk variants, but it's more powerful than these two. There would be one more heat sink to allow the mech to fire PPC and LRMs a little more, but this is sufficient to deal with concurrence in this weight class.

Nice 'mech with a good strong punch. The PPC and its speed will earn it a lot of respect from opponents in the same weight class.
