It is slightly faster than its antecedent thanks to a 240-rated [[fusion engine]], and it correspondingly mounts enough [[jump jet]]s to leap up to 180 meters at a time. This fire support 'Mech is armed with an [[ER large laser]] for direct-fire and four [[LRM-5]] launchers, giving it a strength that exceeds the original [[Inner Sphere]] design, while being faster and lighter. Two tons of ammunition prove sufficient for most Clan engagements. Unlike the original, none of the [[IIC]]'s weapons have a minimum range, so it is just as deadly up close, where it can also add in an [[ER small laser]]. It does not need additional [[double heat sink]]s to stay relatively cool. ==Variants== *; ''Griffin IIC'' 2 : This variant swaps the [[LRM-5]]s for [[Streak SRM-2]]s.
