Fairly straight-forwards upgrade to the one seen in RG:ilClan 27. Swaps for a fusion engine, and one step higher as well for a slightly increased movement rate. PPC is upgraded to an ER version, while the SRM-4 is changed over to an MML-5 (w/ 2 tons of ammo). Armor was also changed to HvyFF which means any part of it can withstand a Clan ERPPC doubletap, while the nose can withstand a triple.
A less expensive variant would simply reduce the engine size one step to match the older LTV-4's ICE output of 7/11. It gains/loses no tonnage if you do so, but would be cheaper at only 2.9 million C-bills, whereas this is 3.28 million. BV drops to 1,020 while the more expensive model is 1,061.
