HOP-4Bb - Essentially a "Royal" variant in everything but name, the "Double B" Hoplite was put into production on Strana Mechty MechWorks and Eden Weaponry Consolidated just before the death of Aleksandr Kerensky and found its way both into the forces of the Pentagon Powers and the infant toumans of the Clans. Keeping the LRM rack of the 4B, the "Double B" upgrades the launcher with an Artemis IV system, swaps the PPC for an extended-range model, and increases the 'Mech's survivability with a Guardian ECM system, CASE in both torsos, double heat sinks, and an anti-missile system. However, the design's speed and armor were not upgraded, enforcing the need to deploy the 4BB as a fire-support unit.

This would have to be introduced as a Clan Second-Line Mech. Clan Second-Line Mech may not be seen until after the lull in hostilities.
