================================================================================================
Overview:
    Created in the wake of the Jihad, the KGC-014 utilises a Reinforced Internal Structure,
    which had recently left its experimental stages (Reinforced Structure was developed in 3057,
    but the Fedcom Civil War and Jihad caused huge delays to its refinement). Wanting to make
    the best use of this technology, the KGC-014's engineers decided to use a standard fusion
    engine for maximum survivability. However, this means the -014 has limited tonnage compared
    to other King Crab models, with the Reinforced Structure taking up an extra ten tons
    (compared to using a standard structure). 15 tons of Heavy Ferro Fibrous Armour provides
    near maximum protection for a 100 ton 'Mech.
    
    The prototype variant of the KGC-014 (the KGC-012) designed in 3082 was in turn based upon
    the KGC-005, which was released in 3062 and mounted two LB 20-X Autocannons. However, to
    free up enough weight to use the Reinforced Structure, the ER Large Laser, Improved C3
    Computer, both Streak SRM 4s and two Double Heat Sinks. This meant that the -012's only
    secondary weapons were three ER Medium Lasers, creating a 'Mech which was even more ammo
    dependent than the original King Crab (which was notorious for being all but helpless once
    it's dual AC/20s ran dry) that only functioned well in city combat, because of having no
    long range weaponry. This led the designers to redesign the weapons configuration, creating
    the greatly improved KGC-014.

Capabilities:
    Altering the design for combat in more open terrain, the KGC-014g is a common field refit
    with two ER PPCs instead of the Large X-Pulse Lasers and a Gauss Rifle instead of the Ultra
    AC/20. An extra Double Heat Sink is added, while the Head-mounted Medium X-Pulse Laser
    remains and is supplemented by the addition of a second Medium X-Pulse Laser, located in the
    Centre Torso. These latter changes are made possible by the removal of the CASE II system
    from the Left Torso and the reduction of the ammunition by 2 tons.
