================================================================================================
Overview:
    The SDH-4M Sledgehammer was designed in response to the IBMU/Alshain Weaponry's AWS-10KM.
    The Sledgehammer is cheaper and lighter than its competitor while offering greater mobility.

Capabilities:
    Tough, powerful and mobile for its size. The Sledgehammer draws inspiration from the ancient
    Davion Hammerhands, while utilizing the latest of Free Worlds League technology: New light
    ferro-fibrous plating to maximize armor and powerful heavy PPCs providing massive punch.
    Leg-mounted jump jets allow the Sledgehammer to surprise its opponents but the jump jet's
    placement requires care from the pilot due to balance issues. It is expected these issues
    will be addressed soon.

Variants:
    While the current production model was preceded by three developmental models, none of them
    were deemed to be worth gaining production versions. As a very new 'Mech, the Sledgehammer
    has no variants yet, though it is expected at least simple field modifications like
    electronic substitutions will be made (such as replacing the ECM with a BAP for commanders)
    or replacing the Guardian and lasers with stronger back-up weaponry. Lack of internal space
    will make future modifications difficult.
