Description
The Locust 1E was an attempt to turn the Locust into a viable front line mech by increasing its firepower with an additional Medium Laser. Having removed its reliance on ammunition, the Locust is able to operate for an extended amount of time without supplies.

Description
The LCT-1L was an attempt to allow the 'Mech to operate at even higher speeds by adding Triple Strength Myomer to the design. Initial testing has resulted in an increase in melee capabilities, and a minor boost to speed. The LCT-1L loadout is otherwise identical to that of the Locust 1V.

Description
The Locust's 1M model is interesting in that it can churn out a decent volley of LRMs for such a small 'Mech. It's a great harasser, especially if you can use its speed to lob missiles into the weaker rear armor of targets. But it normally has almost no armor itself.

Description
A blend of other Locust variants through the years, the LCT-1PA comes from Periphery Armory, Inc, and is armed with their trademark weaponry. A trio of Chemical Lasers (two Small, one Medium) provide solid heat-light firepower while two Rocket Launcher-15s, one a new Reloading variant, give strong burst potential. To power all this though the LCT-1PA is powered by a fragile but effective Jury-Rigged XL engine.

Description

Description
The 3D Locust uses Star League technology to take the concept of the 1M further. Although it carried only two LRM 5 launchers, the engineers at Achernar BattleMechs on New Avalon upgraded the armor to Ferro-Fibrous and the structure to Endo Steel. Completely lacking in close-range weaponry this variant was suitable for harassing the enemy at long range then fleeing before they could get too close.

Description
A weird mix of high and low tech weapons adorn this, the Locust for the Periphery. The LCT-4P was created to fill a need for cheap fire support platforms in the Periphery nations and the Mech Mortar was suggested as an option. To that end, this XL powered Locust carries a pair of MM/1s with a ton of ammo. Backing them up are a trio of Medium Lasers, though one is a Pulse version. 10 standard heat sinks keep the mech cool enough in most situations. The -4P, though it carries a XL engine, was adopted by the Periphery nations en masse and proved able, if unimpressive.
