==Overview:==
Seeing the chance to fix a lot of the short comings of the older Crab, the
weapons masters of Clan Diamond Shark were quick to apply new technology and
weapons to the mech. Since the major hurdel was the lack of jump jets the
encompassing of endo and ferro compents as well as the use of the an XL engine
allowed the mech to gain the ability to jump. This was seen as a better
application of technology then an increase in speed would have offered.

The upgrading of all the energy weapons to Clan standards meant an increase in
heat build up, but allowing for a more seasoned pilot to be operating the
mech, this was off set some with the use of double heat sinks.
