Actually, the EXT-4A Exterminator variant (the Succession Wars "downgrade" variant) has been in production by Kallon Industries at their facility on Nanking (formerly of the CapCon, and currently part of the FedSuns - or, rather, the FedSuns side of the FedCom) since 3007 (according to TRO 3025 Revised & TRO 3050 Upgrade).
Though, the EXT-4A lacked the XL Engine, NSS, and AMS of the more-famous EXT-4D variant, and the CLPS of the EXT-4C variant.
Also, why is it that (as of this writing) all of BTE, EBT Trueborn, and Solaris7 are all down at the same time!?
The 4X is the same mech only cosmetically, and the TRO essentially says that, since nothing but the look and the beasic weapons remain.
