Overview:
Construction of the Warhammer BattleMech, which was designed primarily as an assault mech in its first production run of 2515. The original requisition was called for "a mobile 'Mech with enough firepower to destroy or severally damage any 'Mech of the same weight class or lower." StarCorps answer was the WHM-8Z Warhammer, the forbearer of the WHM-6R.
Capabilities:
There is little difference between the WHM-8Z and the WHM-6R, save for the paired GM Whirlwind Autocannons mounted on each arm. Particle Projection Cannons were still in the early stages of development and what PPCs currently used on the battlefield were unwieldy and ineffecient. This earlier model of the Warhammer sported two more tons of armor, mostly beefing up over all protection by 20%. That extra armor is later dropped for additional heat sinks in the next generation of the Warhammer.
Thoughts: Dunno, just wanted to make a mech that used ACs instead of PPCs with very little other changes. Kind of like an earlier model before the PPC was invented and the largest energy weapon was a medum laser.
Whad'ya think?

I like it, actually. Although I'd probably have used Large Lasers, myself.

I wanted to make the mech a bit more primitive, my idea was they were still developing large lasers and PPC. Otherwise, all the weapons are the same as the WHR-6R in the 3025 TRO

Just a point of history the PPC was invented before the battlemech. (The Mackie carried one) but nice idea and I like the mech.
