[edit] Description
Like many of the other platforms assimilated by the Clans, the Atlas was a proven weapons platform that had performed its role on the battle field admirably. But much more than this, it was truly iconic of the Inner Sphere. It was for this cause Clan Ghost Bear scientists were put to the task of assimilating this icon into their arsenal.
While most of the enhancements were weapons upgrades, the reduced size and weight of clan weapons and armor made it possible to install a larger XL-400 power plant. This has made the Atlas IIC a bit faster, giving it the ability to keep up with the majority of other BattleMechs.
[edit] Armament
The first order of business in assimilating the Atlas was to replace its dated weapons systems. The Clans replaced the AC/20 with an Ultra AC/20, the Medium Lasers were replaced with ER Medium Lasers, and the SRM 6 was replaced with a Streak SRM-6. The LRM-20 was replaced with a pair of LRM 10's Missile systems.
The design is now protected with 15.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. To deal with heat, the clans installed twenty three double heat sinks.
