So in other words, you want an LCT-PB for the Clans' arsenal, right? I would give a Support to that, provided that PGI actually introduced the whole true Locust IIC's "LCT-IIC-<<<insert-variant-selector>>>" Variant Series for everyone to enjoy. After all, we're talking about a 25-Ton Mech here which could help start filling in that under-loaded tonnage notch. It's way beyond time for more 25-Ton Mechs to make it into MWO's current environment!

Yes, pretty much and the name is pretty much the opposite of the IS one.
I didn't put it in but they could put in radar dep quirks for the missing stealth armor....(obviously mix tech is a no go)
Yes i would enjoy the rest of the Locust IICs(I even called for them in my clan mech poll) as well this one would be like a hero or lgd... but what i cannot find is a locust IIC with jump jets mentioned in lore even though the page for the locust IIC mentions jump jets.... The clans HORRIBLY have a lack of light mechs and really all mechs all the more exacerbated by the recent 3 lgd mechs being all IS and the bullshark being mostly IS

I ran a search on the Sarna.net BattleTech Wiki "Locust IIC" page (https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Locust_IIC) for anything containing "jump" and came up rather empty. Didn't even have to throw in "jets" for that one. What page were you looking at?

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Locust_IIC bottom of the page 'related battlemechs" it say something about the original locust lacking jump jets like the IIC model has jump jets...
