So, another one of my home-made IIC projects, this time, it's the very mobile, over armored, questionably armed, Quickdraw IIC.

Features the following design quirks: Nimble Jumper, Exposed Actuators, Unbalanced
Compared to the original SLDF-era Quickdraw, this IIC gained 5 tons of weight, and invested over 35% of it's weight into a 390-rated eXtra Light Fusion Engine, propelling the 'Mech to an admirable 97kph, while 6 Jump Jets let it leap 180 meters over difficult terrain.
The Endo-Steel skeleton was clad in 11 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, the maximum amount it can take.
The four Medium Lasers of the original was upgraded to four Medium Pulse Lasers, and since it runs against Clan dueling honors, the rear torso Lasers are reallocated to the front. Also gone was the Hyper-Extending Actuators of the original, replaced by standard actuators with a frontal focus.
Backing up the Lasers were a LRM-10 rack and a Streak SRM-4 rack on the left torso.
With just 10 Double Heat Sinks, MechWarriors need to manage the heat generation with care, but most consider this acceptable.
Although the Quickdraw IIC is generally considered a nimble jumping 'Mech, the inclusion of the 390XL Engine located high up in the torso causes somewhat a minor balancing issue. And the Actuator parts are noted by Veteran MechWarriors to be a weak point susceptible to infantry or Battle Armor attacks.
