In [[2832]], [[Clan Mongoose]] unleashed an upgraded version of the venerable 'Mech on the [[Clans]], known as the '''''Locust IIC'''''. The speedy design complemented Mongoose tactics, enabling them to win many Trials. When [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] absorbed the Mongooses, they became the owners of the production line on [[Circe]]. This subsequently fell to [[Clan Jade Falcon]] following the ''de facto'' annihilation of the Jaguars. In addition to those three Clans, [[Clan Wolf]] has often used the ''Locust IIC'' as a garrison unit. == Weapons and Equipment == Designed as a fast and light reconnaissance vehicle, the ''Locust IIC'' was also tasked with fast-strike raids and at least became a front-line unit in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Larger than the original ''[[Locust]]'', the ''IIC'' gives MechWarriors comparable speed with more protection and terrifying offensive capabilities. The main armament consists of a [[medium pulse laser]], flanked by eight [[ER small laser]]s, allowing the ''Locust IIC'' to be an excellent anti-[[infantry]] BattleMech with capabilities to harass heavier BattleMechs. Its larger size also allows it to be a more durable weapon platform, and as such the ''Locust IIC'' is a far more difficult enemy than its Inner Sphere cousin. == Variants == *; ''Locust IIC'' 2 : This Clan Jade Falcon version carries [[CASE]] with an [[ER medium laser]] in the center torso section and two [[Streak SRM-2]]s in each arm. SRM munitions are stored in in the arms with a cross-feed mechanism. BV (1.0) = 857, BV (2.0) = 937<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 233</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 3 : This Clan Smoke Jaguar version is set up to sport an [[ER large laser]] in its center torso, with a [[small pulse laser]] in each arm, making this variant a quite capable [[infantry]] killer in addition to its role as a fast sniper. BV (1.0) = 902, BV (2.0) = 980<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 234</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 4 : This version was almost completely redesigned so that it could be produced in the [[Inner Sphere]] by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on their Occupation Zone headquarters world of [[Sudeten]]. It replaces the [[ER small laser]]s of the standard variant with three [[General Systems]] [[heavy small laser]]s in each arm, and the [[medium pulse laser]] has been downgraded to a [[Series 7Ja]] [[ER medium laser]], while an additional pair of [[double heat sink]]s are added to help deal with the increased heat. BV (1.0) = 701, BV (2.0) = 795<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 235</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 5 : Produced by [[Clan Wolf]] on [[New Oslo]] and [[Satalice]], though the latter fell to [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. It mounts an [[ER medium laser]] in the center torso and an [[ATM-3]] in each arm, along with a ton of ammunition for each. BV (1.0) = 798, BV (2.0) = 878<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 236</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 6 : This newer variant of the ''Locust IIC'' 4 uses three [[heavy machine gun]]s in each arm, each trio is linked to a [[Machine Gun Array]]. This powerful infantry hunter also adds an additional half ton of armor. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 776<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 237</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 7 : Still an infantry killer, the ''Locust IIC'' 7 mounts a trio of [[AP Gauss rifle]]s in each arm, fed by a meager one ton of ammunition. The [[ER medium laser]] of the ''Locust IIC'' 4 remains in place. and a new [[targeting computer]] enhances these weapons' accuracy. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 980<ref name=TR3085pp272f /> *; ''Locust IIC'' 8 : Produced by Clan Ghost Bear, this version uses a 300-rated [[XL engine]]. All standard weapons have been replaced by a single [[ER large laser]]. BV (2.0)= 1,119<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 239</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 9 : This version uses an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] 350-rated [[XXL engine]], a [[laser anti-missile system]], and a pair of [[improved heavy medium laser]]s. The Jade Falcon engineers who designed it also installed an [[XL gyro]] and used [[heavy ferro-fibrous]] armor to protect the chassis. BV (2.0)= 1,133<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix'', p. 240</ref> *; ''Locust IIC'' 10 : Developed by [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno|Corean Enterprises]] on [[Stewart]] for the [[Wolf Empire]],<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 16'', p. 8</ref> this variant carries four [[ER small laser]]s in each arm and an [[ER medium laser]] in the center torso. The biggest change is the use of [[reflective armor]] to protect the ''Locust IIC'' 10 from laser fire.
