Breakdown:
The Squall Polly, otherwise designated the Stormcrow-F, is the first theoretical OmniMech redesign from renowned* BattleMech customs house Foxclone Mechworchs, and is designed for the use of its premier (and only) pilot, callsign 1453-R. Intended to maximize the Stormcrow’s power as a strike machine, this theoretical build emphasizes medium lasers and SRMs, as strikers have done since the dawn of time itself.
A melding of the Prime and A configurations, the F configuration bristles with small-bore weaponry. Five Clan-spec ER medium lasers produce a ferocious energy fusillade with most of the standoff range of an Inner Sphere large laser, allowing the Polly to harass targets at a distance while maneuvering for its real payload. Three Clan-spec Streak SRM-6 racks, mated to four tons of ammunition and a Beagle Active Probe, enable the F to produce a brutally accurate salvo of eighteen warheads in close-range combat. Though more vulnerable to AMS than Inner Sphere SRMs, the increased accuracy (and by extension effective range) of the Clan-spec launchers more than makes up for this drawback.
Fourteen Clan-spec double heat sinks work to keep the Polly cool, as does careful trigger discipline on the high-output lasers. The ‘Mech’s movement profile enables it to quickly close with larger, slower enemies and gut them with its vicious close-quarters armament, while anything faster than the F have much to fear from its heavy CSSRM armament. Much like the glory days of the venerable HBK-4SP, the Stormcrow-F punches well above its weight class, with a well-distributed armament and the Clans’ superior XL technology enabling the ‘Mech to lose either shoulder and still remain a threat.
The Stormcrow-F is the ultimate expression of the mobile harassing striker begun with the TBT chassis. Swift, powerful, and utterly merciless…come June 17th, no light ‘Mech and no rear armor will ever be safe again…

They can have as many official F variants as they want, but there'll only ever be one Foxclone Mechworchs Stormcrow-F! Especially since we're never going to get plasma cannons or APGRs anyways...T_T
