Description

The Phoenix Hawk LAM was the largest Land-Air 'Mech produced during the Star League. Allied Aerospace reworked their designs for conversion equipment and the size of the LAM, learning from their mistake with the Shadow Hawk LAM and the success of the Stinger LAM. The resulting LAM was the largest LAM ever constructed capable of remaining in AirMech mode. Unfortunately, large Land-Air 'Mech conversion technology was not fully researched before the fall of the Star League, and the Phoenix Hawk LAM frequently met its end due to the occasional glitch. The end of the Star League and destruction of the Allied Aerospace facilities at the beginning of the First Succession War prevented further development and refinement.

Description

This version was created before the introduction of the PHX-HK2, in 2695. It removed the ER Large Laser, a Medium Laser, and two heat sinks, replacing them with an experimental Snub-Nose PPC, Beagle Active Probe, and an additional half ton of armor. It saw only limited production and the introduction of the HK2 ended the life of the -HK1R.

The end of the Star League and destruction of the Allied Aerospace facilities at the beginning of the First Succession War prevented further development and refinement. The basic configuration of the Phoenix Hawk LAM is armed with a torso-mounted Large Laser, and tandem Medium Laser and Machine Gun in each arm.

Description

The PHX-HK2M is a rare House Marik variant of the Phoenix Hawk LAM. It keeps the armor and speed of the -HK2 but drops most of the weapons, keeping only the two arm-mounted Medium Lasers. In the place of the other weapons sits a LRM 10 with two tons of ammo. In all other respects, the -HK2M is the same as the -HK2.

Description

The Draconis Combine managed to keep a small number of Phoenix Hawk LAMs in secret reserve up through the Clan Invasion. Material shortages forced the Combine to put their LAMs back onto the front-line. However, they updated them with newer weaponry for better punch on a modern battlefield. Spread across the mech are a trio of ER Medium Lasers and in both torsos rests a MRM-10. A single ton of CASE'd ammo sits in the right torso.
