Initial recommendations are to use the Battlemech as a medium range skirmisher to preserve armor for longer. This would allow snipers like the Vulpes and brawlers like the Gunsmith to carve holes through enemy armor the LBX cannons can exploit.

	The second base variant looked to add a bit of staying power. An advanced ammo transfer system was used to route ammo from a single torso to all four autocannons. However, the concern now lay with all the ammunition for all the weapons in one location. CASE II was added to prevent total losses should a bin get hit.

	Additional improvements were made to bring in Endo Steel Structure and Ferro-Fibrous armor. This also allows slightly more armor than the LB-1.		Additional improvements were made to bring in Endo Steel Structure and Ferro-Fibrous armor. This also allows slightly more armor than the LB-1.

	While the main calling of this Battlemech has always been autocannons, many Mechwarriors prefer to use energy weapons. Yes, they run hotter however, they don't risk ammo explosions nor do they rely on ammo.

	Originally, the ER Large Lasers were considered. However, the role of the mech is to battle and skirmish rather than snipe. Mechwarriors would do well to have sufficient practice handling the heat band while piloting this Battlemech.		Originally, the ER Large Lasers were considered.

	Where would a Jagermech be without fielding Rotary Autocannons? Even in some of the oldest imagery of the Battlemech, it is displayed firing hellish barrages of slugs - whether it be mech testing or battle.

	Guardian ECMs were installed in this variant to handle Blakist C3 networks. Taking a cue from the JM7-DD, CASE II was installed in the torsos, especially given it possessed a Light Fusion Engine. Also shifting from the current line of Jagermechs, it adds jump jets for additional flexibility.		Guardian ECMs were installed in this variant to handle Blakist C3 networks.

	This Jagermech variant is the most advanced of the new line. It adds in components for Electronic Warfare that is meant to counter the Word of Blake's use of advanced technology. It has both a Bloodhound Active Probe and Angel ECM.		This Jagermech variant is the most advanced of the new line.

	Taurian forces have absolutely taken to the Sheriff variant of the Atlas. When interviewed, the design creator wanted to emulate the Terran "Old West". Almost overnight it became the "totem" mech of the Taurian Concordat. To keep morale high, Colonial Marshals on all worlds were slated to receive one. Just as one would see in old time western films from Terra, the imagery is immediate with the Ultra AC10s on each arm. Then, in a similar fashion with torso holstered revolvers, there is a pair of Large Pulse Lasers. Finally, a Medium Laser is mounted in the head. Taking from the Lyran Hauptmann, what appears to be a cigar emerges from the mouth of the Atlas as many classic films portray cowboys. For good measure a couple pea shooters AKA ER Small Lasers are mounted in the CT for any targets that get too close.		Taurian forces have absolutely taken to the Sheriff variant of the Atlas.

	The 8B was focused a bit more on flexibility. Rather than keep the Streak SRM 6 and a separate ton of ammo, it was swapped out for another MML5. Now all three missile launchers could engage at long, medium, or short range.		The 8B was focused a bit more on flexibility.
