Designed as a platform for the newly developed Large X-Pulse Laser, the Bushwacker-H1 is an unusual and little-loved design. The -H1 has a standard movement and armor profile for a Bushwacker and carries a varied loadout that specializes in little beyond causing critical damage. For primary armaments, the -H1 carres a Large X-Pulse Laser and a LB-5X Autocannon with two tons of ammo. For backup weapons, the -H1 carries the traditional Bushwacker LRM 5s and Machine Guns. The -H1 saw little acceptance and was deemed a failure of a design.

The S2 is a variant of the Bushwacker that makes the 'Mech more effective at short to medium ranges. The 'Mech carries an ER Large Laser to allow the 'Mech to engage an enemy at long ranges as it closes. The 'Mech carries an LB-X Autocannon/10, which can fire both standard and cluster ammunition for long to medium range engagement capabilities. For close combat, the 'Mech has two SRM-4 launchers, making it a powerful unit at any range. For added defense, the S2 carries an Anti-Missile System.

Designed as a close-range brawler variant of the Bushwacker, the -W1 carries a strong close-range payload, anchored by a LB-10X Autocannon and a Large Pulse Laser. 10 SRM tubes back up the larger weapons and three tons of ammo total keep the weapons firing regularly. The one significant innovation on the mech is its Light Ferro-Fibrous armor, which was still new at the time of the mech's creation.

Designed first and foremost to be as difficult a target as possible, the Bushwacker prototype, sometimes called a Jawhawker for unclear reasons, features an unusually low profile and exceptionally small silhouette for a 55-ton war machine. Carrying one LRM-5 high on its left torso and another in its left arm, the BWS-X0 can provide indirect support while the Autocannon/10 and Large Laser provide respectable suppressive fire. A pair of Machine Guns also give the Bushwacker excellent anti-infantry capabilities.

The Bushwacker was originally a failed BattleMech designed to have a smaller forward profile to make the 'Mech a harder target to hit. The Bushwacker's unique design caused problems with the engine shielding, the side-effects of which manifested themselves as various gremlins in the 'Mech's on board electronics on the prototypes fielded.

The Bushwacker was originally a failed BattleMech designed to have a smaller forward profile to make the 'Mech a harder target to hit. The Bushwacker's unique design caused problems with the engine shielding, the side-effects of which manifested themselves as various gremlins in the 'Mech's on board electronics on the prototypes fielded. Based on the standard Bushwacker, this simple variant removes the ER Large Laser and replaces it with an additional LRM-5 launcher in the torso and a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers. It also drops one heat sink.

Description

Designed as a platform for the newly developed Large X-Pulse Laser, the Bushwacker-H1 is an unusual and little-loved design. The -H1 has a standard movement and armor profile for a Bushwacker and carries a varied loadout that specializes in little beyond causing critical damage. For primary armaments, the -H1 carres a Large X-Pulse Laser and a LB-5X Autocannon with two tons of ammo. For backup weapons, the -H1 carries the traditional Bushwacker LRM 5s and Machine Guns. The -H1 saw little acceptance and was deemed a failure of a design.

Description

The S2 is a variant of the Bushwacker that makes the 'Mech more effective at short to medium ranges. The 'Mech carries an ER Large Laser to allow the 'Mech to engage an enemy at long ranges as it closes. The 'Mech carries an LB-X Autocannon/10, which can fire both standard and cluster ammunition for long to medium range engagement capabilities. For close combat, the 'Mech has two SRM-4 launchers, making it a powerful unit at any range. For added defense, the S2 carries an Anti-Missile System.

Description

Designed as a close-range brawler variant of the Bushwacker, the -W1 carries a strong close-range payload, anchored by a LB-10X Autocannon and a Large Pulse Laser. 10 SRM tubes back up the larger weapons and three tons of ammo total keep the weapons firing regularly. The one significant innovation on the mech is its Light Ferro-Fibrous armor, which was still new at the time of the mech's creation.

Description

Designed first and foremost to be as difficult a target as possible, the Bushwacker prototype, sometimes called a Jawhawker for unclear reasons, features an unusually low profile and exceptionally small silhouette for a 55-ton war machine. Carrying one LRM-5 high on its left torso and another in its left arm, the BWS-X0 can provide indirect support while the Autocannon/10 and Large Laser provide respectable suppressive fire. A pair of Machine Guns also give the Bushwacker excellent anti-infantry capabilities.
