AWS-8Zx Awesome History: Technicron Manufacturing got its start producing Invader-class JumpShips on Tamarind in the Free Worlds League. Largely spared the devastation of the Succession Wars, their orbital facility there remains one of the few operational plants capable of manufacturing new K-F drives. Partnered with Forerunnner A.G., also located on Tamarind and considered the premiere JumpSail maker in the Inner Sphere, they are one of the most productive JumpShip manufactures left. Rather than taking the prodigious profits from their business in FTL ships and increasing their production capacity, Technicon Manufacturing chose to diversify instead. In 2665, Technicron opened its first BattleMech factory on Savannah, which was, at the time, also a part of the Free Worlds League. It would later fall to the Seventeenth Arcturan Guards during the Second Succession War, and currently remains in Lyran hands. Hoping to win a contract with the SLDF for a replacement for the ancient, and uninspired 80-ton STC- 2C Striker, Technicron submitted the now famous AWS- 8Q Awesome for the High Command’s consideration. Armed with a trio of the vaunted Kreuss Particle Projection Cannons and equipped with an astounding 28 heat sinks, the SLDF was suitably impressed and immediately granted Technicron an open-ended contract. As the 80-ton ‘Mech made its way to frontline SLDF units to replace the Striker, commanders quickly realized it value. It’s long-range, all energy based loadout made it an ideal siege ‘Mech, capable of maintaining a massive barrage of particle beams indefinitely. Protected by 15 tons of Durallex Special Heavy, the Awesome is also often found in the vanguard of assaults on heavily fortified enemy positions or against high concentrations of other enemy BattleMechs. Laying down a constant barrage of particle cannon fire, there are very few ‘Mechs capable of withstanding its terrifying firepower, and those are invariably only other assault ‘Mechs. It is generally agreed throughout the Inner Sphere that, “the only defense against an Awesome is another Awesome.” It is a testament to the effectiveness of the original design that this wildly popular ‘Mech was never altered for use by the SLDF Royal Brigades. Only a single variant was ever manufactured during the time of the Star League, and it was generally considered a failure. The AWS-8R introduced in 2683, only 17 years after the ‘Mechs debut, removed the PPCs in favor of a pair of LRM-15s and a large laser in the right arm. While in theory the damage potential remains largely unchanged, the dependence on ammunition severely limits the time the -8R can sustain its barrage and very few were sold before Technicron ended production of the unpopular variant. After the fall of the Star League, Technicron tried improving upon the -8R variant largely due to supply problems with the Kreuss PPCs. The -8T differs from the -8R in that it carries five less heat sinks and carries a second heavy laser in its left arm while retaining both LRM-15s and the design’s original head mounted Diverse Optics Type 10 light laser. While better regarded than the -8R version, the original -8Q remains the design of choice. The Awesome would prove so popular, that Technicron was unable to keep up with demand. They first licensed the design to Lycomb-Davion IntroTech on Demeter before finally partnering with the massive Irian BattleMechs Unlimited for additional production capacity. Capellan forces destroyed the Demeter facility shortly after the start of the Succession Wars, although IBU’s flagship facility on Irian still currently produces the AWS- 8Q. Notable ‘Mechs and MechWarriors Captain “Wild Bill” Remington A member of the Seventeenth Arcturan Guards, “Wild Bill” has an incredible fondness for ballistic weapons. When his AWS-8Q was seriously damaged fighting against the 23 rd Marik Militia in their foiled attempt to retake Savannah, he finally had an opportunity to indulge his obsession. Wielding an ancient Terran Desert Eagle .44 magnum, he had little trouble convincing the engineers at Technicon to rebuild his Awesome according to his specifications. 131 Already severely damaged, he ordered the engineers to rebuild his ‘Mech will a full array of autocannons. Under his Eagle eye, the engineers managed to accomplish their task to his satisfaction. Wild Bill’s Awesome, dubbed “Buckshot”, now carries an Imperator Zeta-A Class 20 autocannon in its right arm, an Imperator A Class 5 autocannon in its right torso, an Imperator B Class 10 autocannon in its left torso, and a pair of Deprus RF machine guns. While retaining the thick armor and slow speed of the original, “Buckshot” only carries the standard ten heat sinks. However, with the exception of the massive Zeta- A autocannon, the rest of the ballistic weapons generate little heat, making the ‘Mech capable of maintaining a pummeling stream of lead that only gets worse as the target gets closer. On the flipside, however, “Buckshot” carries a total of five tons of ammunition, including machine gun ammunition in the center torso, making it a walking ammo explosion waiting to happen. Regardless, “Wild Bill” is extremely pleased with his customized Awesome, and so far it has proved to be quite the surprise to enemy MechWarriors accustomed to ‘Mechs normal trio of PPCs.
