This approach has produced a 'Mech with a good ground speed and respectable amount of armor and firepower. Thanks to its mix of off-the-shelf weapons and equipment the ''Lineholder'' is a reliable 'Mech that is easy to repair and is dependable in battle. However, the ultimate selling point for the ''Lineholder'', especially to its target audience of small units and minor nobles, is value and price. In the first year of sales, the ''Lineholder'' was historically successful compared with other 55-ton BattleMechs, and quickly became the garrison machine of choice for minor factions able to afford brand new BattleMechs.<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 116</ref> + The '''''Lineholder''''' was the first [[BattleMech]] design to come from [[Kressly Warworks]].
