One such 'Mech was spotted with the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Jade Falcon ''touman'']] in [[3052]] during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]].<ref name=TRO184 /> In the early 3070s, the design was resurrected by the [[Word of Blake]] when they captured [[Hesperus II]]'s factories. After the liberation of Defiance Industries, Devlin Stone's coalition forces kept the 'Mechs in production.<ref name=TRO184 /> During the Dark Age, Defiance Industries decided to reduce the number of ''Atlas'' models they were producing. Following the introduction of the AS8-S ''Atlas'' in 3138,<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/8433/atlas-as8-s ''MUL online date for the Atlas'']</ref> they were left with a surplus of components that were not used in their new flagship design. They created a limited run of ''Atlas II''s which combined its weapons profile with the massive engine of the AS7-K2. This new variant, the AS7-DK-H, was a major success and redefined the ''Atlas II'' as the speedier counterpart to the original model.<ref name=RG24p13>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 24'', p. 13</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Atlas II'' is armed with an array of weaponry, including an [[Blakenburg (LB10X)|Blankenburg]] [[LB 10-X autocannon]], a pair of [[Blankenburg 25]] [[ER large laser]]s, and a [[Holly (LRM20)|Holly]] [[LRM-20|20-tube long-range missile launcher]] for long-range attacks. For close-range combat, the 'Mech is equipped with a pair of [[Raker-V]] [[medium pulse laser]]s and a [[Holly (SRM6)|Holly]] [[SRM-6|Six Pack]]. In addition, the 'Mech has been given [[CASE]] for both sides of the torso in order to keep an ammunition cook-off from consuming the 'Mech.<ref name=TRO184 /> The weapons payload gives the design a broader range of attacks compared to the ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s brawling weaponry and its limited long-range attack capacities. ==Variants== *; AS7-D-H2 : This variant exchanges both ER large lasers and its LB 10-X for a [[Kinslaughter H-Class|Kinslaughter]] [[ER PPC]] and a [[Gauss rifle]] while removing only one [[double heat sink]].<ref name=TRJp182f /> BV (2.0) = 2,340<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 187</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 68</ref> *; AS7-DK-H : Defiance Industries' redesign of the ''Atlas II'' emphasized speed with its Inner Sphere 400 XL engine, but also used some of the company's most advanced weapon systems to make up for the mass of the oversized engine. The design boasted several Clan-spec weapons: a pair of ER large lasers in the left arm, two [[ER medium laser]]s in the left torso and an [[LRM-20]] launcher in the right torso. Both side torsos are protected by Inner Sphere [[CASE II]] The design also mounted an Inner Sphere [[SRM-6]] next to the medium lasers and a right arm–mounted [[RAC/5]]. BV (2.0) = 2,599<ref name=RG24p42>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 24'', p. 42</ref> ===Custom Variants=== *; AS7-D-H Devlin : Used by Devlin Stone, this ''Atlas'' variant used a combination of [[Clan]] and Inner Sphere technology to maximize survival. The ER large lasers, XL engine, and heat sinks came from Clan sources. A [[heavy-duty gyro]] is also fitted to enhance survivability. The LRM and SRM launchers have been replaced by a single [[MML-9]] with an [[Artemis IV]] system. [[CASE II]] protects each side torso from ammunition explosions, an [[Angel ECM]] suite foils [[Blakist]] communications gear and, for additional protection, the left torso carries an [[anti-missile system]]. The cockpit, sensors, and life support system in the head are all [[Armored Components|armored]]. BV (2.0) = 2,491<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 255</ref> *; AS7-D-H Kerensky : The custom version used by Nicholas Kerensky, this version of the ''Atlas II'' retains the weapon array of the original but swaps the Inner Sphere components for more advanced [[Clan]] equivalents. It also adds a second SRM launcher. All the missile systems are equipped with [[Artemis IV]] fire control systems. Double heat sinks were replaced with their less bulky Clan equivalents and increased to nineteen. The ferro-fibrous armor protection remains the same, but again was replaced by the more compact Clan version. To handle electronic warfare duties, a small [[ECM suite]] and [[active probe]] were added to the center torso. The CASE systems were integrated into the side torsos, as was common to all Clan designs. BV (2.0) = 2,777<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Widowmaker Absorption'', p. 29</ref> *; AS7-D-HT : Its origins unknown, the only known example of the AS7-D-HT was found inside [[Castle Nautilus]], an SLDF Outpost Fortress found on the world of Artru, in the [[Aurigan Reach]] and used by Kamea Arano during her final defeat of the [[Aurigan Directorate]].<ref name=HATAC-25>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 24: "Military Forces"</ref> This seemingly custom variant retains the bulk of the standard model's weapon loadout save swapping the LB 10-X for a mammoth [[Autocannon/20]] for enhanced short-range combat.
