Just finished the Legends II book, and I think it's a wasted opportunity that they introduce Cyrus McCarron with a stock Highlander IIC, rather than his old Yu Huang upgraded with Clan parts...

So with that in mind, I did this:

Basically I use the same IS-grade Engine, Chassis, Armor, DHS and Jump Jets as the original stock Yu Huang, but due to the lighter components, an extra DHS is added. the Ceres Arm Warrior ERPPC is swapped for a Clan-grade Type DDS "Kingston"; the Laser array is upgraded to 3 Clan-grade Medium Pulse Laser; the Irian Weapons Works LRM-10 is upgraded to a superior Clan-grade Type XV "Crossbow"; the LB-20X were also traded for a Clan Sea Fox manufactured one. Lastly, a CASE II was installed in the Right Torso, ensuring the MechWarrior would survive any ammo incidents.

I think that's definitely superior to a stock Highlander IIC! :)

Thanks, now I'm tempted to do either Maximilian's Vindicator or Marauder next...
