First developed by Clan Wolf-in-Exile in 3068[1], the Anti-Battle Armor Pod or B-Pod functions like an Anti-Personnel Pod except that it is designed to blast through the armor of battle suits. It does this by using explosive bomblets instead of shrapnel. B-Pods are being produced by both the Clans and Inner Sphere forces.
Unlike A-Pods, a B-Pod can be mounted on any 'Mech location.[2]
Models
The B-Pod is manufactured on the following planets:[3]
Brand | Planet | Company |

Rules
Game Rules
B-Pods weigh 1 ton and take up 1 critical slot.[5] They have a Battle Value of 2.[6] They can be fired at any time, even if the unit is shut down, as long as the crew is awake.[7] When fired, B-Pods automatically hit Battle Armor with 20 points of damage. This is divided into 5 point groups. Conventional infantry take 1D6 points of damage. If destroyed in a critical hit, an unused B-Pod inflicts 2 points of damage on the mounting unit; a used B-Pod's framework is destroyed per the rules for an empty ammo bin.[8]
