Description
In all honesty, Cicadas as a rule are very fragile. The 2A model was designed to be as fast as any light 'Mech, but that massive engine leaves little room for much else. Still, if you use it cautiously, it can be a successful scout and diversion.

Description
A new Periphery Armory, Inc design, the Cicada-2PA is a fast, evasive, and surprisingly powerful design. Armed with a simple triad of Large Chemical Lasers that are fed by two tons of ammunition, the CDA-2PA packs a heck of a whollop against unsuspecting enemies, making it a fantastic flanking mech. However, this comes at the cost of fragility, as the design is not well armored and has a very fragile Jury-Rigged XL engine for power.

The Cicada 3C is slightly slower than the 2A but has more room for weaponry and armor. It still generally under performs in most areas except speed, but it can put up more of a fight, with better survival rates.

Description
The -3F Cicada is one of the most advanced versions of this 'Mech and is a cross between the -2A and -3C variants. It carries a powerful ER PPC as its main weapon while still carrying the Medium Lasers of the -2A. To carry this weight and to make room for the massive number of Jump Jets the -3F carries it makes use of an XL engine.

Based off of the same chassis as the 3F, the 3G was introduced in 3056 to transform the chassis into a more dedicated recon platform. It trades in the PPC for an ER Large Laser, a Beagle Active Probe, and additional armor.

Description
The 3M upgrade of this older BattleMech uses some of the best Star League technology available. It uses an extralight version of the same Pitban 320 engine, freeing up extra space to upgrade the small laser to a Small Pulse Laser and adding an Ultra Autocannon/5 to the left torso as well as carrying a pair of medium lasers while retaining the Cicada's classic extreme speed.

Description
The Cicada CDA-3MA is a training 'Mech upgrade of the CDA-3M. It keeps the same 320-rated XL engine as well as the Small Pulse Laser and the Medium Lasers but swaps out the heavy and bulky Ultra AC/5 of the -3M for a clean and simple Snub-Nose PPC. The extra saved tonnage is put into armor, enhancing the design's survivability quite a bit. The -3MA was a hit and, like other training 'Mechs before it, was so successful it found its way into live combat situations where it also excelled.

Description
The Cicada CDA-3PA is an unusual yet effective mech. Armed with twin Medium Rifles and a Large Chem Laser with a total of 3 tons of ammunition, the -3PA is highly effective in most combat scenarios. Powered by a 280-rated Prototype XL engine, the -3PA is slower than most other Cicadas but remains fast enough to outpace most other medium mechs, ensuring it can always dictate the terms of engagement.

Description
A somewhat unusual design produced by Gibson Federated, this fire support variant is a favoured choice of many mercenary commands. Refitting a standard 2A with a smaller 280 rated XL Engine, Gibson Federated managed to mount a pair of Artemis IV enhanced LRM Launchers with 4 tons of ammunition. Should an enemy get close enough to return fire, the mech carries an advanced Guardian ECM suite and a full ton of additional armour, dramatically increasing it's survival chances.

Description
The Cicada CDA-3V was designed with low-profile, mobile fire support in mind. Mounting a GyroJet-20 along with an ammo feed system with two tons of reloads, the CDA-3V can provide long-ranged backup with moderate endurance in the field. The fuel cell engine keeps costs down, and a Prototype Endo-Steel chassis provides the needed tonnage for its main gun. As an afterthought, the 'Mech mounts an inaccurate Argra-27C Medium Laser and a Small Laser for short-range defense.

Description
A rare Marik upgrade of the Cicada, the -4G gives the old mech a new twist. Built around a XL engine, the -4G saves even more weight with Ferro-Fibrous armor and an Endo-Steel structure. It puts that weight towards a pair each of Streak SRM-6s and ER Medium Lasers. The remaining tonnage is spent on two tons of CASE'd ammo and some extra armor to protect the fragile XL engine.

Description
Once upon a time this wreck might have been a CDA-4G, but by now all the advanced components have been blown off, melted down or otherwise destroyed. What remains is an endosteel structure, held together with low-tech spite and regret. Machine guns, rocket launchers, chemical flamers and a grenade launcher require so much ammo, this mech is a walking detonation waiting to happen. CASE is not provided, for obvious reasons.

Special Note: The Cicada CDA-TF is a custom Community Content 'Mech.
Description
The Cicada CDA-TF is often called 'That F***ing Cicada' thanks to its extreme hardened armor and general all around durability, which has not made it any friends on the battlefield. The weaponry is paltry, a quartet of specialized Medium Lasers and an ER Small Laser and the mech is slower than other Cicadas while having a massive XXL engine for power, but the maxed-out hardened armor for the frame keeps it in the fight longer than it should be.

Description
The X5 is an interesting oddity in the world of low-tonnage medium mechs. Based on the relatively new CDA-3M chassis, it fields a slightly larger VOX 330 engine as opposed to the 3M's Pitban 320. The weapons loadout has also been altered, turning the X5 into an incredibly quick and deadly skirmisher with more than twice the firepower of the original 2A. Unfortunately, the greatly increased cost of construction and an occasionally-flaky experimental SRM ammunition feed led to a variant with literally no buyers. This one is a little banged up, apparently from falling out the back of a Leopard during transport, but can be incredibly deadly in the hands of a pilot that can handle its speed.

Description
Devloped in response to the Clan's Viper Omnimech, the Cicada Omni uses almost every avalible weight savings technology avalible to the Inner Sphere. A composite structure, 320 Extra-Light Engine and Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor let this next generation Cicada match the Viper in speed, protection, though it was somewhat more fragile once armor was breached. Given that it could mount nearly two tons more weaponry, it was seen as an acceptable trade off, and the omnimech has begun to see limited adoption in Inner Sphere militaries.
