It was intended as a replacement for the original ''[[Templar]]'', whose factory lines were destroyed during the [[Jihad]]. General Motors established a new production line on [[New Valencia]] for what was to become the next generation of the ''Templar'' with newer technologies. Like its predecessor, the ''Templar III'' is typically utilized as a Command 'Mech by [[AFFS]] forces. With its alternate configurations the 'Mech is able to handle various combat situations thanks to access to [[Technology Rating|Advanced]] equipment.<ref name=TRO:3145FSp46-97/> ==Weapons and Equipment== Among the most noticeable differences when comparing the original ''Templar'' to the ''Templar III'' is its smaller Pod Capacity. The new 'Mech has a 29 ton Pod capacity in comparison to the old ''Templar''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s 40 tons. However, the 'Mech's heavier Light Engine provides improved durability while retaining the original design's maximum speed and armor protection. The Prime Configuration of the ''Templar III'' is not unlike the older [[Warhammer|WHM-8D ''Warhammer'']]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapons loadout. The Configuration is armed with that older design's ER PPCs, extended-ranged medium and small lasers, while having a single 4-Tubed Short-Range Missile Launcher instead of the 6-Tubed Launcher. All of its energy weapons are tied together with a [[Targeting Computer]] and cooled down by four additional [[double heat sinks]]. The launcher ammunition is protected by the ''Templar III''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s permanently mounted [[CASE]] found in its right torso.<ref name=TRO:3145FSp46-97/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : Intended for intermediate to short-range combat, the A Configuration is armed with a pair of [[Large Pulse Lasers]] and two [[medium pulse lasers]]. The configuration's only long-range weapons consists of a pair of [[MML-7|7-Tubed Multi-Missile Launchers]] with two tons of ammunition.

Additionally, the B Configuration is intended for close-range combat with melee weapons, and four Jump Jets for improved mobility. Its melee weapons are a right arm–mounted [[Hatchet]], while the left arm carries a [[Chain Whip]]. To help it get to its intended target quickly, the 'Mech is fitted with a [[Supercharger]].

The autocannon is supplied with 3 tons of ammunition, while 1 ton of ammunition is allotted to the Streak Launcher.

It is armed with four [[medium re-engineered laser]]s, while its more damaging weapons include a Clan [[LB-10X|LB-10X Class Autocannon]] and a single Clan ER PPC. The Autocannon is fed by 3 tons of ammunition in the CASE-protected right torso.
