==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Hellion''''' is a product of [[Clan Ice Hellion]] and their philosophy that espouses speed above all else. Based on the ''[[Mist Lynx]]'', the ''Hellion'' is a fast [[OmniMech]] that has respectable firepower. This [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech is rather difficult to kill, incorporating five and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. To save weight, the ''Hellion'' also uses an [[endo steel]] chassis. While it is not especially fast for its size, the ''Hellion'' does use [[MASC]] to allow for bursts of additional speed.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', pp. 189-190</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 108</ref>

The ''Hellion'' was one of most popular 'Mechs in Clan Ice Hellion, both by its name and speed, but after the Hellions were absorbed by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], it became also very popular in the former Hellions, in [[Hellion Galaxy (Escorpión Imperio)]]. The honor to pilot one was fiercely fought.<ref>''Spotlight On: Hellion Keshik'', p. 2</ref>

The ''Hellion'' sports no fixed weapons on its chassis. The Prime configuration consists of four [[ER medium laser]]s as well as a trio of [[Streak SRM-2]]s, which make it a potent headhunter 'Mech. It also packs an [[LRM-10]] to harass enemies at range.

* ''[[Mist Lynx]]'' - Clan Ice Hellion increased the mass of the ''Mist Lynx'' OmniMech, resulting in the ''Hellion''. This new 'Mech is just as fast as the ''Mist Lynx'' even without the use of [[MASC]], but carries full armor and can mount over 50% more mass in [[pod space]].

* In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to '''''Eisteufel''''', which literally means ''Ice Devil''. This was supposedly done since the perfect translation ''Teufelsbraten'' has a rather diminutive connotation in German.
