==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Malice''''' appears to be on its way towards becoming one of the premier [[mercenary]] assault [['Mech]]s of the age. Seen most often in the [[Galatean Defense Force]] and the [[Republic Armed Forces]], the ''Malice'' has seen a lot of action for such a recent addition to the battlefield. Very fast for an assault 'Mech, topping out around 64 km/h, this brute can bring a withering barrage of autocannon fire to bear. Protected by more than nineteen tons of [[standard armor]], the ''Malice'' can remain in combat for a long time. In addition its twelve [[double heat sink]]s are able to dissipate most of the heat generated by its weapons, so it can maintain fire as long as the ammunition holds out. To make room for the armor, large engine, and weaponry, the ''Malice'' uses an [[Endo-Steel]] chassis.

*;MAL-XP : This ''Malice'' version replaces the LB 5-X autocannons with Clan built models. The ER Medium Lasers are also upgraded to Clan specs. Two heat sinks are removed. The arm mounted autocannons are upgraded to Clan built [[LB 10-X]] autocannons. Each autocannon receives twenty rounds of ammunition. The armor, engine, and structure remain the same as the ''Malice''-XT.

*; MAL-XV : This ''Malice'' replaces the LB 5-X autocannons with [[Light AC/5]]s and eight tons of ammunition. The ER Medium Lasers are replaced with [[Improved Heavy Medium Laser]]s. The autocannon ammunition is protected by [[CASE II]] systems mounted in each side torso. A [[C3 slave unit]] is carried in the head, and seventeen double heat sinks control heat.

*;MAL-XV : This ''Malice'' replaces the LB 5-X autocannons with [[Light AC/5]]s and ten tons of ammunition. The ER Medium Lasers are replaced with [[Improved Heavy Medium Laser]]s. The autocannon ammunition is protected by [[CASE II]] systems mounted in each side torso. A [[C3 Slave Unit]] is carried in the head, and seventeen double heat sinks control heat.

*;MAL-YZ : This ''Malice'' variant uses the best technology available to both the [[Inner Sphere]] and the [[Clans]]. The top speed drops to 54 km/h, but an [[XXL engine]] is used to free up large amounts of weight. A Clan spec Endo Steel chassis is used to hold the engine, while a [[Compact Gyro]] frees up room in the center torso. Both the engine and gyro are [[Armored Component]]s as are the hips. Improved protection is provided by [[Ferro-Lamellor]] armor, backed up by [[Modular Armor]] on the arms, legs, and front torso locations. The left and right torsos also use integrated [[CASE]] provided by Clan engineers. An [[Angel ECM Suite]], Clan [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] system, and C3 Slave are available for electronic warfare support. The ''Malice''-YZ carries two torso mounted [[Remote Sensor Dispenser]]s as well. For additional protection against missiles, a Clan built [[Laser AMS]] is carried in each arm. Offensively, each arm carries a Clan built [[Large Pulse Laser]] and the left and right torsos each have a single Clan made [[ER Large Laser]]. Twelve double heat sinks work hard to manage the heat load but if they are overwhelmed there are two [[Coolant Pod]]s available to the pilot to get a quick cooldown.
