Record sheet for Mongoose C

Problem: The equipment list from the Mongoose C entry, page 11, includes a 200-rated engine, 12 double heat sinks (therefore 4 dhs outside the engine), and 2 ER Medium Lasers.
The record sheet has only displays criticals for 2 of the 4 dhs outside the engine, and only displays 1 ER Medium Laser.

Additionally, the Mongoose C record sheet does not match the previously published Mongoose C record sheet from TP: Tokasha (which correctly displays all the critical items published in TP: Tokasha).

Solution 1A: rearrange the criticals to match the record sheet from TP: Tokasha.
B: rearrange the criticals (ES, FF to the arms, dhs to the torsos), then replace 2 dhs for a targeting computer to indicate evolution from Mongoose C to Mongoose C 2

Solution 2: Base the Mongoose C on the critical layout of the Mongoose C 2, by replacing the targeting computer with 1 DHS, and placing the second DHS in the LA above the ER Medium Laser, giving the design a sense of symmetry.

CS-1 Fox, pp. 16-17

Problem: The Tech base for the CS-1 Fox is "Mixed Inner Sphere". However, the record sheet for the CS-1 Fox shows Clan-spec XL Fusion Engine and Endo Steel. There are no Double Heat Sinks on the record sheet (because their criticals are in the 300-rated Engine), therefore we cannot see which tech is used. In addition, TechManual indicates the CS-1 Fox was introduced in 2424, 3 years before Clan-spec XL Fusion Engines and Endo Steel began production (after prototype stage) (Universal Technology Advancement Table, Strategic Operations).

Solution 1: Label the XL Fusion Engine and Endo Steel as "Clan" on the entry list.
Solution 2: Change the technology of the CS-1 Fox.
Solution 3 (Best): Change the XL Fusion Engine and Endo Steel to Star-League tech, reassign criticals for Endo Steel.

Record Sheet, Omni-Corvis Prime:

Problem: The Right Arm of the Omni-Corvis Prime has both an Ultra Autocannon/10 and actuators for the lower arm and hand. This is illegal construction for an OmniMech.

Solution: Remove the Lower Arm Actuator and Hand Actuator.

* LOCATION: Page 5 (Water Elemental Mining Suit quirks), page 7 (Rhino quirks)

* THE ERROR: Water Elemental has the bad reputation quirk; this is seemingly not reflected in the lore given its multiple battlefield victories, unusual for a piece of civilian equipment. The Rhino does not have the bad reputation quirk even though it is a poorly-regarded deathtrap.

* THE FIX: Remove bad reputation from the Water Elemental. Add bad reputation to the Rhino.

(I am reporting this not to argue over lore, but because I feel like there may have legitimately been a mistake here and that the quirks were swapped by accident. If this really is the intended set of quirks then please ignore me.)

The TP:Tokasha record sheets give them both Trailer Hitches, which are missing from the RS in Golden Century. One or the other needs to be corrected.

Record Sheet, Coyotl Prime, A, B, C, D

Observation: The 'Mech image looks to be slightly modified/alternate artwork from that published in ED: Golden Century and elsewhere: The Coyotl artwork here has an arm with articulated 'Mech RA with a hand. None of the configurations published actually have hands (although it is nice to have a second image).

p. 15, Coyotl, Configuration D

Problem: BV is reported as 1,180. This does not match my calculations, nor the number reported on MUL
Solution: Edit BV to say 1,980.

Record Sheet, Coyotl C

Problem: Era icon on the sheet indicates introduction during the Wars of Reaving/Jihad. MUL reports an intro date of 3145.
Solution 1: Replace the icon with that of the Dark Ages.
Solution 2: Adjust the MUL intro date to c. 3075

Record Sheet, Coyotl D

Problem: Record sheet is missing the improved heavy large laser in the 'Mech's RA
Solution: place a iHLL in the RA.
