[[Allied Aerospace]] reworked their designs for conversion equipment and the size of the LAM, learning from their mistake with the [[Shadow Hawk LAM|''Shadow Hawk LAM'']] and the success of the [[Stinger LAM|''Stinger LAM'']]. The resulting LAM was the largest ever constructed capable of remaining in [[AirMech]] mode. Unfortunately, large Land-Air 'Mech conversion technology was not fully researched before the fall of the Star League, and the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' frequently met its end due to the occasional glitch. The end of the [[Star League]] and destruction of the Allied Aerospace facilities at the beginning of the [[First Succession War]] prevented further development and refinement.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 130</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 290-300</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The basic configuration of the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' is armed with a torso-mounted [[One Amsterdam 120]] [[large laser]], and tandem [[Maxum 50]] [[medium laser]]-[[Sperry Browning]] [[machine gun]] in each arm. Despite the increased size of the Land-Air 'Mech relative to the original ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'', the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' remains poorly armored. Worse, the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' is vulnerable to being crippled during conversion. ==Variants== *; PHX-HK1 : Developed for the [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions]] in [[Introduction Year::2692]], this variant of the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' used four [[medium laser]]s and a single [[ER large laser]] as its main firepower. 12 [[double heat sink]]s kept the heat curve low, but the limited fuel, armor, and maneuverability made the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' easy prey for [[aerospace fighter]]s of the same weight. It could maneuver fast enough to evade heavier foes however.<ref name="tro85">''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 300</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,942<ref name=IO_115>''Interstellar Operations'', p. 115</ref> *; PHX-HK1R : This version was created before the introduction of the PHX-HK2, in [[2695]]. It removed the [[ER large laser]], a [[medium laser]], and two [[single heat sink]]s, replacing them with an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[snub-nose PPC]], [[Beagle active probe]], and an additional half ton of armor.<ref name="tro85"/> BV (2.0) = ???? *; PHX-HK1RB : This version was apparently created by the [[Word of Blake]], as it removes the [[Beagle active probe]] and a [[medium laser]] from the PHX-HK1R and replaces that equipment with an [[improved C3 computer]]. The [[snub-nose PPC]] remains and the two remaining [[medium laser]]s are upgraded to [[ER medium laser]]s. BV (2.0) = ????<ref>''BattleTech Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — The Cutting Edge'', p. 347</ref> *; PHX-HK2M : House Marik produced a variant of the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' which replaces the [[large laser]] and [[machine gun]]s with a [[Holly (LRM-10)|Holly]] [[LRM-10]].<ref>''[[Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge]]'', p. 329</ref> ==Related 'Mechs== * ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]'' - Allied Aerospace based their ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' on the successful ''Phoenix Hawk'' medium BattleMech. {{ApocryphalContentStart}} * ''[[Munin LAM]]'' - Apparently based off the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' to the point where it could arguably be regarded as a variant, this LAM design seems to have only been built in tiny numbers, probably a single prototype production run. * SCR-1A ''[[Screaming Hawk]]'' - Conceived in [[3019]] as retrofit combining design elements from the ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'', ''Phoenix Hawk'' and ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'', and said to be based on the latter, this 55-ton [[BattleMech]] mounts a [[PPC]], two [[medium laser]]s and a modular missile rack that can be either an [[LRM-5]] or an [[SRM-4]]. It is not a LAM.<ref>''BattleTechnology'', Issue #7 (0205), pp. 24, 56</ref> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ==Notable Pilots== :''See: [[:Category:Notable Phoenix Hawk Pilots]]'' ==Gallery== <gallery> File:PH-LAM.jpg|Original PHX-HK2 ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3025|TRO:3025]]'' File:Phoenix_Hawk_LAM_MK_I_Mech_TRO3085.png|A ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' in 'Mech mode from ''[[Technical Readout: 3085|TRO: 3085]]'' File:Phoenix_Hawk_LAM_MK_I_AirMech_TRO3085.png|A ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' in AirMech mode from ''TRO: 3085'' File:Phoenix_Hawk_LAM_MK_I_Fighter_TRO3085.png|A ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' in aerospace fighter mode from ''TRO: 3085'' </gallery> ==Notes== * Author [[Blaine Lee Pardoe]] stated in a [https://blainepardoe.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/out-of-the-archives-the-battlemechs-i-wrote-about-or-designed/ blog entry] that, according to his memory which he admitted could be wrong, the ''Phoenix Hawk LAM'' was among the BattleMechs for which he wrote the original background as initially published in TRO:3025, after being given only its name, image, and game stats to work with for the TRO entry. ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[AeroTech]]'' * [[BattleTechnology#Issue 7 (0205)|''BattleTechnology'', Issue #7 (0205)]] * ''[[Far Country]] (Novel)'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3025]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3085]]'' [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:Land-Air 'Mechs]] [[Category:Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category:50 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Inner Sphere General BattleMechs]] [[Category:Star League BattleMechs]]
