Basically, a what-if of a Clan Devastator.
The standard model maintains the hard-hitting PPC+Gauss combo of the original, with the added bonus of being Clantech. Pretty damn straightforward.
Devastator IIC (Standard)
Mass: 100 tons
Tech Base: Clan
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Clan Invasion
Tech Rating/Era Availability: F/X-X-D-A
Production Year: 3052
Cost: 23,226,000 C-Bills
Battle Value: 3,261
Chassis: Unknown Standard
Power Plant: Unknown 300 Fusion XL Engine
Walking Speed: 32.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 54.0 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor: Unknown Standard Armor
Armament:
2 ER PPCs
2 Gauss Rifles
4 ER Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Unknown
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Unknown
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown
Overview:
Considered an "Overwhelming show of force", the Devastator's distant and rare
Clan Battlemech cousin, the Devastator IIC, with records indicating the
Devastator IIC is actually an incredibly recent redesign of the old unit.
Evidently, despite posessing the design specifications for the Devastator for
decades, the Clans had failed to produce a IIC upgrade for the venerable
experiment. In the end, circa 3030, Clan Nova Cat and Clan Diamond Shark both
ended up founding the design in tandem-as a cooperative work-in order to
bolster assault mech forces for both reinforcement Clans.
Capabilities:
The standard model of Devastator IIC mounts a loadout closely aping that of the
original, mounting a pair of Gauss Rifles, ER PPCs, and quad ER Medium Lasers,
providing a firepower output that even a Dire Wolf would be hard-pressed to
match. While the unit only mounts 17.5 tons of standard armor, with the most
advanced equipment on the machine being a 300 XL engine, the Devastator IIC is
considered a decent frontline unit, even with its position as a Battlemech.

The second variant, which is supposed to be fluffed as the "Nova Cat" version of the mech. Really, it's more of a "minor" upgrade, but due to being heat neutral, it's actually reeking pretty bad of Limburger cheese.

The third and final variant I had a bit of issue with. I wanted to make a more interesting variant that still had high damage potential, but did so in a unique way. So I settled on an Annihilator-esque quad big ballistic setup, with a six-laser battery of ER Smalls as backup.

Also, as a bonus, a Clan "Parallel" to the MUSE EARTH program; The Devastator IIC 4. This thing is... Well, it's nasty. Twin Ultra 20s moving around at 5/8 on MASC is pretty damn scary.
