A lot of the IIC versions too, Locust (3085), Griffin (3085), Shadowhawk (3085), Marauder (3085), Phoenix Hawk (3085), Guillotine (3060) , Rifleman (I think I can't find the book lol)
The IIC mechs were largely a collection of 'old reserve' things, relics of the past given improved designs post Exodus, with weapons upgraded to Clan Standards when possible. From what I've seen of the era... it often wasn't, so some might come with IIC style weapons. Some would come with Inner Sphere weapons from during the Usurper's Coup that Kerensky saved the Inner Sphere from -- where he soon realized that all was left in charge of each faction were bickering imbeciles who wanted all the power to themselves. So the standard engines do make a good bit of sense (and -- evidently can really last! It was only maybe 200 years since the improvements? Bit less. Sure they served for at least 50 more years before being abandoned; suppose it depends on when the Summoner was produced [being the first Omnimech])
Considering that one of the best chassis I use is the Highlander, I can't wait for the IIC.

For anyone interested: Kerensky's reasoning for the Exodus.
