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

Developed by Coventry Metal Works for the Circinus Federation, the FS9-C is a decidedly Periphery twist on the Firestarter. The -C's twin Medium Lasers and Flamers do a fine job in normal combat and the four Rocket Launcher-10s and two Rocket Launcher-15s provide a heavy unexpected punch. However, due to the overwhelming number of Firestarters in the Periphery already, the -C's sales were low and the variant was considered a financial failure for Coventry.

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 Heavy Machine Guns linked in MG Arrays. Armed with a massive 12 HMGs, all linked into 4 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

Manufactured by the Circinus Federation and used to 'pacify' civilians, the FS9-P carries twin Medium and Small Lasers as well as four Flamers. While these weapons are normal Firestarter fare, the paired SRM-2s loaded with Inferno ammo are less normal and give the -P its surprise punch. The -P proved popular among the Circinian armed forces and was spread around the Periphery quickly, appearing among most larger nation's armies.

Description

Firestarters are known for a lot of things, but ballistic firepower isn't one of them. At least it wasn't until today, with the FS9-PA2 and its twin torso-mounted Light Rifles. A battery of Medium and Small Lasers and a solitary Flamer back up the Light Rifles while a Prototype XL engine provides power to the design. 6 jump jets keep it mobile while 10 standard heat sinks try in vain to keep it all cool.

Description

The Firestarter-Q 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.

Description

The Firestarter-S is an overhaul of the -H that upgrades the chassis to Endo-Steel and adds more defensive measures to the mech in the form of an Anti-Missile System and a Beagle Active Probe. Otherwise, the -S is just as capable as a normal Firestarter.

Description

The Firestarter-S1 is an overhaul of the -H that upgrades the chassis to Endo-Steel and adds more defensive measures to the mech in the form of an Anti-Missile System and a Guardian ECM. Otherwise, the -S1 is just as capable as a normal Firestarter.

Description

Designed for a mercenary company with big ideas and bigger checkbooks, the Firestarter FS9-SB was built around a rare and cutting-edge Light HVAC/5 with 1 ton of ammo, often specialty ammo. With a brace of specialized and rare Medium and Small Lasers, the -SB is functional at any range. To gain the tonnage for this though, the -SB down-engines to a XL 200-rated engine and uses Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor. A C3 Slave allows it to link into targeting networks as necessary.

Description

Originally used for incendiary work, the Firestarter earned a dark reputation among MechWarriors as a walking warcrime. With the Sanctuary's switch to robotic drone pilots, the Firestarter became less of a warcrime and more of a tactical option to remotely disable units via heat. Armed with 4 Sanctuary-spec Flamers as well as a pair of Medium Electro-Lasers and a Small Electro-Laser, the Firestarter FS10-H is a simple and rugged machine capable of putting in solid work.

With the Sanctuary's switch to robotic drone pilots, the Firestarter became less of a warcrime and more of a tactical option to remotely disable units. The FS10-M changes the Firestarter's mission to one of outright destruction as it uses a battery of Sanctuary Machine Guns to shred through targets at high speed. Armed with 6 MGs, as well as twin Medium Electro-Lasers, the FS10-M is effective if unexceptional.

Description

While most Firestarters lean on their history as an incendiary disabler 'Mech, the FS10-N instead rips out all the weaponry and swaps the structure in order to provide ranged fire-support for any situation. Armed with a Neutrino Projector Cannon, or NPC, the FS10-N is capable of putting holes in anything at any range. A Flamer and a Small Electro-Laser back it up at point-blank but they're largely unnecessary as not much can stand up to the NPC's firepower. The -N proved a relatively unpopular variant and is uncommon among the Sanctuary armies.

Description

An unusual twist on the typical Firestarter mantra of 'go fast, burn things, leave a pretty corpse', the FS10-V leans into survivability instead. Clad in Ferro-Vanadium armor that dissipates incoming ballistic and missile attacks and built on a durable yet bulky Endo-Carbide structure, the FS10-V is surprisingly difficult to destroy meaning that its twinned Large Electro-Lasers have plenty of time to do their bloody work. A trio of Flamers pay lip service to the Firestarter's roots. Unfortunately, even with an XL engine, the Jump Jets had to be cut for weight, making the -V less maneuverable than might be expected.

Description

The Firestarter FS9-H-BC is a Rasalhague variant of the FS9-H created in 3058 using technology obtained from reverse-engineered salvage and data packets purchased from Clan Ghost Bear. These 'mechs exist for the purpose of being used in hit-and-run operations. Using the clans general lack of training in melee combat to their advantage, the H-B(rawler)C(lan tech) uses incredible speed and TSM to engage the more range-focused clan mechs in rapid melee attacks, blasting their armor off with 8 Clantech Small Pulse Lasers, before running back into the brush and out of sight of the Clan Mechs. It has found some small use by some Merc companies, as well as by House Steiner, who purchased a license to produce, as well as the data package, as of 3063.
