==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Huron Warrior''''' was originally planned to be a fire support [[BattleMech]], but as the design was moving from concept to production the rediscovery of [[Star League]] technology and reports that were coming back from the [[Clan]] front prompted the designers to dramatically change the 'Mech's payload. The design was modified to make the ''Huron Warrior'' capable of attacking an enemy with a devastating long range direct fire arsenal. The 'Mech's long range punch, combined with its 10 tons of armor protection and average mobility make the ''Huron Warrior'' an effective weapon.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary weapon that the ''Huron Warrior'' carries is a [[Grizzard 210]] [[Gauss rifle]] that is capable of stripping off a ton of armor with each shot at extremely long ranges. This is backed up by a [[Martell (ERLL)|Martell]] [[ER large laser]] that provides good supplemental firepower at long ranges. Finally, it is armed with a [[Martell (MPL)|Martell]] [[medium pulse laser]], which gives the ''Huron Warrior'' the ability to protect itself at short ranges.

*; HUR-WO-R4M : The [[3056]] R4M variant of the ''Huron Warrior'' is a simple modification that removes the [[medium pulse laser]] in favor of a standard [[medium laser]].

*; HUR-WO-R4N : The R4N is a [[3063]] modification that looks to the original design of the ''Huron Warrior'' and reverts the 'Mech back to its original fire support role. This is done by stripping the 'Mechs weapons and ammunition payload and replacing them with a pair of [[LRM-15]] launchers and four [[medium laser]]s, with CASE for the ammo bin. The 'Mech is also armored with new [[stealth armor]] and carries a [[Guardian ECM suite]]. The double heat sinks offset the stealth armor's operation.<ref name=TRCIp124f /> This combination of LRM-15s and stealth armor makes the R4N an incredibly powerful fire support 'Mech.

He added that he named the ''Huron Warrior'' for the old Eastern Michigan University mascot.

* In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to '''Hurone''', which shortens the name to ''Huron''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''HUR-O4L'''.
