If jh316 hadn't posted it, I wouldn't have remembered the name: Sentinel. Basically just another nondescript 6/9 AC/5-wielding low-end Medium with inadequate backup firepower and nothing else noteworthy about it, other than that Comstar sent a bunch of them to the DCMS out of pity, and the DCMS actually used them out of desperation. The Clint and Hermes II fall into roughly the same category (the Clint jumps, the Hermes II has decent armor), but at least the Hermes II has an interesting 2M variant that punts some serious posterior as a back-stabber. Meanwhile, the Sentinel seems to be a prize-winning example of "how to utilize the available tonnage in the most useless way possible".
The Whitworth is a somewhat uninspiring design, but it's seriously efficient for the cost, and a perfectly "textbook" bracket-fire design. Spam LRMs until the bins run dry, and all of the stuff on the front lines is full of holes, then close with the triple MLs to exploit the damage. You just don't want them on the front line at the start of the fight. Basically, it does nearly as much with 40 tons (2xLRM-10 + 3xML) as a Dervish manages with 55 (2xLRM-10 + 2xML + 2xSRM-2), except for one movement point; if you're parking it in the back row, that movement point isn't all that critical. Considering how often I use them for supporting fire (as a poor man's Archer), I'm in no danger of forgetting about them.
The Vulcan may be a pathetic waste against other 'Mechs, but if you're running tanks, hovercraft, or VTOLs, one of the LAST things you want to see on the other end of the map is a Vulcan. The AC/2 WILL reach out and touch you, and almost inevitably do nasty things to your motive systems. If you're running another 'Mech, you laugh at it.
The Eagle? There is an Eagle? I seem to have forgotten it for some reason, despite frequently fielding a Marik force.
