−	The '''''Fire Falcon''''' was created in the early-3050s, apparently as a replacement for the ''[[Mist Lynx]]''; it is faster, has more front-facing armor, and more pod space, though it lacks the [[jump jet]]s of that earlier 'Mech. It makes use of weight-saving materials in the form of an [[XL engine]], an [[endo steel]] internal structure, and four tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.

While this barrage is powerful for a 'Mech its size, 10 [[double heat sink]]s are mostly able to keep the design cool.<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref name=TRO:3058/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : This first variant uses an [[UAC/2]] and [[LRM-10]] to bombard from long range. An [[ER small laser]] provides close defense.

BV (1.0) = 1,275<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 139</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,570<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 99</ref> *; Alternate Configuration C : Designed for scouting and work against [[infantry]], the C uses an [[active probe]] to find hidden targets. To use against those targets, it carries one [[medium pulse laser]], one [[small pulse laser]], one [[ER small laser]], and a pair of [[SRM-6]]s. Against soft targets, four [[machine gun]]s provide ample infantry killing power. BV (1.0) = 930<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 140</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,004<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 100</ref> *; Alternate Configuration D : A spotter, the D carries [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and a [[Narc missile beacon]]. If it gets caught in combat, it can use a pair of [[SRM-4]]s and one [[ER medium laser]]. BV (1.0) = 745<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 141</ref>, BV (2.0) = 826<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 101</ref> *; Alternate Configuration E : This variant uses a single [[ATM-12]] with three tons of ammo—enough to carry each of the different ammo types. BV (1.0) = 1,014<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 142</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,094<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 102</ref> *; Alternate Configuration F : This variant is designed to destroy infantry and [[battle armor]]ed troops. Equipped with an [[active probe]] to sniff out targets, each side torso carries a [[Machine Gun Array]] with four [[machine gun]]s for infantry, while the arms each carry an [[ER micro laser]] and [[ER small laser]] to deal with battle armor. For heavier targets, the ''Fire Falcon'' F carries a single [[ER large laser]]. BV (2.0) = 1,135<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 103</ref> *; Alternate Configuration G : This variant carries a [[ProtoMech AC/4]] in the right arm and an [[improved heavy large laser]] in the left arm. One ton of autocannon ammunition is also carried. Finally, a [[supercharger]] allows the ''Fire Falcon'' to sprint at 160 km/h. BV (2.0) = 1,296<ref name=rg15p12>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 15'', p. 12</ref> *; Alternate Configuration H : The H configuration uses a pair of [[heavy medium laser]]s and a pair of [[heavy small laser]]s. Another pair of [[medium pulse laser]]s provide more accurate fire, while three additional [[double heat sink]]s keep the 'Mech cool. BV (1.0) = 1,003<ref name=TRO3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 143</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 37</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,162<ref name=TRCIp6f /><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 104</ref> *; Alternate Configuration I : This striker configuration carries a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in each arm, supported by another ER medium laser in the right torso and a [[plasma cannon]] with a ton of ammunition in the left torso. An extra [[double heat sink]] is carried in the center torso. BV (2.0) = 1,135<ref name=rg15p12/> *; Alternate Configuration L : This configuration has an [[ER PPC]] in the left arm, supported by four [[ER small laser]]s in the right arm. These are all tied into an advanced [[targeting computer]]. BV (2.0) = 1,665<ref name=rg15p12/> *; Alternate Configuration R : This mixed tech configuration has two [[ATM-3]]s with two tons of ammunition in the left torso. The left arm carries a pair of [[micro pulse laser]]s, while the right arm carries a [[medium re-engineered laser]] and [[small re-engineered laser]]. BV (2.0) = 846<ref name=rg15p12/> *; Alternate Configuration T : This configuration carries two [[improved heavy medium laser]]s and two [[improved heavy small laser]]s in the right arm and a [[medium pulse laser]] in the left arm; these are tied into a [[targeting computer]]. To capitalize on damage dealt, the left torso carries a [[Streak SRM-4]] with a ton of ammunition and a single [[Improved One Shot]] [[SRM-4]]. To sprint into and out of range quickly, the center torso carries a [[supercharger]].
