================================================================================================
Overview:
    The BLS-X02 was a short-lived attempt by the Word of Blake to create a 'Mech that could fair
    better against other 'Mechs. The main frame remains the same as the BLS-01, though it uses
    four Rotary AC/5's, and two Machine Guns. One Rotary AC/5 is mounted where the MRM 40 would
    be on each arm, and the other is mounted on the corresponding torso. The two Machine Guns
    are mounted on the center torso.

Capabilities:
    The BLS-X02 specializes in close range 'Mech to 'Mech combat. The four Rotary AC/5's can
    easily tear through the armor of an opposing 'Mech, while the Machine Guns effectively deal
    with Infantry that gets too close.

Deployment:
    The BLS-X02 was produced and saw limited combat in the latter half of the Jihad. However, it
    became obsolete quickly after introduction, as its effectiveness was not worth the cost
    required to produce them, and they then went out of production.

Variants:
    The BLS-XO2 is a variant of thr BLS-01
