Line 33: *; PRC-2N : Almost an entirely different 'Mech, this version drops the supercharged 180-rated [[XL engine]] for a smaller, lighter, but considerably more expensive, 160-rated [[IDC-VX]] [[XXL engine]] and swaps the [[spike]]s and [[ferro-fibrous]] armor for cosmetically enhanced standard plating. The lighter engine and use of a [[small cockpit]] gives the PRC-2N enough space and tonnage to feature two [[ER medium laser]]s, two [[small X-Pulse laser]]s, and an [[ER small laser]] in addition to the four standard [[medium laser]]s of the PRC-1N.
