Speed = 68.8kph -> 340 engine

240 = 16.5 std
340 = 34 std / 20.5 XL (diff = 17.5 std / 4 XL)

39.5 tons available in std Awesome

PPC (RA) + LRM-15 (RT) + SRM-4 (LA) + LLASER (LT) + Medium Laser (HD) = 62 damage = 25 tons

add .5 tons armor

14 tons remaining

1.38 heat efficiency is pretty good, so it has to have at least 18 or 19 DHS

Likely, this means it's a 340 XL engine and 10 DHS

Hardpoints (known)
1 energy RA
1 missile RT
1 AMS RT
1 energy HD
1 energy LT
1 missile LA

2 other hardpoints are possible (likely won't exceed base # for AWS-8 models). Most probable locations are one missile in RT and one energy in LT (similar to AWS-8V).

Overall, having a Awesome that is this fast (able to upgrade to a full 400 engine for 81kph movement) is appealing. It won't come cheap, thoguh, with an XL engine stock - the 9M is 4,680 MC, and while the weapons on the new AWS-PB are going to cost about half as much, the engine is more pricey. Judging from mark-ups on the other "Hero 'Mechs", I'm thinking it'll cost us 7,000 MC - equivalent to about $28.

It will cost 7200 MC.
All hero mechs thus far have been prices as: tonnage x 90 MC

hero mechs are tonnage x 75

So 80 x 75 = 6000 MC
