1) the Clans just launched and none of the variants are available for cbills as of this post
2) another Clan mech, especially a paid variant, will rub some people the wrong way
3) the Clans only have access to a single mech with ECM
4) Hero mechs should not be out of balance with their other variants
With that in mind I submit this idea: let's use the Bounty Hunter variant as the hero mech. This wouldn't be the first time a hero mech is based off a mech in lore and it fills a void much needed right now.
I see several upsides to this:
1) additional ECM coverage for Clan only drops
2) adding ECM to the TBR takes up podspace available for weapon systems
3) the hero variant does not need to have restricted availability (e.g. on sale for all)
4) cool new paint job for TBR's
