Description: The Dragonfly is a remake of the Locust Model 1M, which was used mainly by House Davion's Ceti Hussars. That model replaced the Locust's machine guns and some armor with two LRM-5s. Our remake of this model solves all its problems. With a top speed almost 22 kph faster than the original, and with more armor, jump jet capability, and a state-of-the-art anti- missile system, in addition to being a full ten tons heavier, the Dragonfly is truly a Locust on steroids. Its speed and long-range firepower capability make it ideal for dangerous scouting missions. It can go in quickly, accomplish its objectives, and get out again, dealing respectable damage before it leaves.

Description: The old Star League era Clint was the basis for the Magnum. VST engineers have put together an impressive successor to this under-utilized 'Mech. The Magnum is slightly slower than its predecessor, but it makes up for this fact by carrying a full 50% more armor. In addition, the Clint's troublesome AC/5 has been replaced with a powerful LB 10-X AC and ample ammunition. Add in an extra small pulse laser for close combat support, and you have the perfect low-end medium combat 'Mech. And the price is hard to beat.

Description: The classic workhorse of most Inner Sphere armies, the Whitworth, has been revamped to meet changing times. Its successor, the Agamemnon, makes several notable improvements. First of all, its 270XL engine provides a maximum speed 50% faster than the original, making it useful as a heavy-hitting recon mech which can go behind enemy lines and create massive chaos. To help with this goal, the Agamemnon has been fitted with Artemis IV Fire Control Systems to help its LRMs home in with deadly accuracy. In addition, it carries twice as much ammunition for those deep penetrations into enemy territory. Jump capability has been sacrificed, but the tradeoff was worth it; the Agamemnon has CASE to contain ammo explosions and a third more armor than the original. All in all, the Agamemnon is a tenacious fighter with a proven lineage. Order a piece of history today!

Description: The Scorcher makes up for one of the main shortcomings of its ancestor the Griffin: lack of short-range weaponry. But that is far from its only improvement. Although the Scorcher replaces the Griffin's LRM 10 with an AC/5 and moves a bit slower, it now mounts four medium lasers for close-in firepower and is covered with 40% more armor. In addition, it is outfitted with triple-strength myomer, so that when it is running hot, it matches the speed of its predecessor and can be quite nasty in hand-to-hand combat. This makes the Scorcher a great 'Mech for both close combat and longer range support.

Description: The Awesome has long been one of the Inner Sphere's most feared 'Mechs. VST has produced something even scarier: the Sunburst. Sporting an unprecedented FOUR PPCs (and the heat sinks to let it fire them continuously without heat buildup), along with 5 small pulse lasers and a small laser for close combat, the Sunburst is a force to be reckoned with. It's a full twenty tons heavier than the original but is just as fast and has almost 50% more armor. Order one now and be the envy of the galaxy!

Description: The Quicksilver is part of a new concept of combat. Heavy fighters fly in first to eliminate the defenses of large weapons emplacements and military bases. Then, lances of Quicksilvers streak into the combat zone laden with more bombs than any other aircraft is capable of carrying, annihilating the target. If the speedy conquest of a planet is what you're looking for, Quicksilvers combined with our larger Obliterator fighters are the perfect combination.
