Description
The original Firestarter model, the FS9-A used Small Lasers instead of Machine Guns and mounted an extra ton of armor. This caused some heat issues and led to the development of the more familiar FS9-H, with its Machine Guns.

Description
The Firestarter is a dangerous 'Mech for its tonnage-carefully timed attacks with its Flamers can shut down any 'Mech and leave it open to punishment from your other forces. The FS9-H also makes a decent light 'Mech hunter-killer.

Description
The Firestarter-J is a very focused and highly specific Firestarter variant. Ditching the usual Flamers and energy weapons, the -J goes entirely in on Machine Guns, specifically MG Arrays. Armed with 4 MG Arrays, the Firestarter-J carries no other weaponry. It was built for one purpose: to destroy conventional forces. Mech fighting is a secondary concern for the -J but it's proven moderately effective against pre-weakened targets. Still, the -J needs real support when fighting other mechs.

Description
The Firestarter-P is a rare variant that decides to up the mech's arsenal against other hardened military targets while maintaining its use against conventional forces. It carries a massive six Flamers for conventional work while against larger targets a PPC provides solid direct-fire capability. To pay for all this tonnage, the mech is powered by a XL engine and a brace of double heat sinks to keep the heat manageable.
