Hi guys,
I'm trying to find any available information on any or all of the following variants, referred to in various TROs and other sources.
Atlas AS7-A : Variant from the new Succession Wars Record Sheets - no info or fluff info. Made an educated guess on that for now and will change it once they release it.
Atlas AS7-LL : An unnamed variant described in the original TRO 3025 that multiple Successor Houses tried out an Atlas with LL in the arms.
Vindicator VND-1SIC : A St Ives Compact variant from the TRO 3039
Blackjack BJ-3X : This is basically a pre-BJ-3 prototype that is described in one of the TROs - will have to find it :P
Cataphract CTF-0X : From ETRO Succession Wars
Cataphract CTF-4X : Post 4th SW Davion version, I want to say it was in TRO 3050
Grasshopper GHR-4R : In the MUL, but never detailed anywhere. Seeing as the date was so close to the 5H (like only 2 years prior), I did some guesswork there - this is probably the least cannon, as there isn't anything even describing it
Locust LCT-1L : This is a pre-masc Liao experiment using the Triple Strength Myomers that Davion foisted on them. The original formula burst into flames when exposed to a certain gas mixture. Liao refined it. It didn't give much of a speed boost, but when the 'Mech heated up, it would give a +2 move (later changed to +1). I have it generate heat more than a standard Locust 1V, as it is meant to indicate the pilot disabling HeatSinks to allow heat buildup to make use of the TSM.
Thunderbolt TDR-5D: Variant from the new Succession Wars Record Sheets - no info or fluff info. Made an educated guess on that for now and will change it once they release it.
Zeus ZEU-6A: Variant from the new Succession Wars Record Sheets - no info or fluff info. Made an educated guess on that for now and will change it once they release it.
Wolverine WVR-6D: Variant from the new Succession Wars Record Sheets - no info or fluff info. Made an educated guess on that for now and will change it once they release it.
Thanks in advance, I'm goin crazy with this.

Atlas AS7-LL : An unnamed variant described in the original TRO 3025 that multiple Successor Houses tried out an Atlas with LL in the arms.
I don't have my original TRO, but I believe the variant removed the medium lasers (all 4), and some heatsinks - one other weapon system was either removed (SRM) or one of the larger weapons was downgraded. I do remember it saying there was some heat issues with the variant and as such it wasn't as popular.
Vindicator VND-1SIC : A St Ives Compact variant from the TRO 3039
Searching the Sarna wiki says this is based off a custom varient of a mech that downgraded the PPC to upgrade the LRM.
VND-1R St. Ives Blue The personal Vindicator of Major Michael Jones and his father before him, St. Ives Blue is easily recognizable for the large silver trumpet painted on its chest and its replacement of the PPC with a Large Laser and LRM-5 with an LRM-10 rack. After his unit seceded to the St. Ives Compact in the wake of the Fourth Succession War the newly formed St. Ives Military Command would ultimately use Jones' altered weapons array as the basis for the VND-1SIC variant.

Locust was built (or refit) on Ares.
Cataphracts were built on Tikonov, the 0 was the proof of concept prototype, and the 4x was the post Davion takeover Prototype, iirc. If it is Liao post 4th that I am unaware of, it would be Grand Base.
Zues would be Hesperus. It's always Hesperus.
BlackJack is St. Ives.
Thunderbolt is Tikonov.
Wolverine is almost certainly Marduk.
The Grasshopper, Vindicator, and the Atlases are not constructed on a line as much as exist as refits of line produced models. Probably most of the undescribed others as well.
