Ahem...excuse me.  Sorry about that.

The AST-1Y Astley from JMInc., yet another 'Mech that never was.  Designed
back in the years leading up to the Fourth Succession War, the Astley never saw
production.  However, the revived design firm, as part of a publicity stunt, chose
the design to be one of three designs from that era to become a fully-functional prototype.

The 60-ton class has always been unpopular; too big to keep pace with the 
Mediums, too fragile to play with the Heavies.  Never happy to follow the 
crowd, the JMInc designers decided to almost completely forgo long-range 
weapons, relying on the Astley's speed to get close, providing only token fire 
with a single 5-pack LRM.  Maximum armour coverage allow it to take a beating
long enough to unleash hell with its barrage of close-range weapons.

In close, the Astley hits as hard as any Heavy, harder than most.  Twin SRM 
packs provide both heavy damage and deadly scatter, while a Medium Laser
and a trio of Smalls provide additional punch, as well as ammo-free staying power.
Definitely not a 'Mech any pilot would want to see closing in.

In short...this 'Mech would Rick-roll you.
