One of the designs I've worked up for my Clan Wolverine in Hiding writing.

Code:
               BattleMech Technical Readout

Type/Model:    Highlander C
Tech:          Clan / 3055
Config:        Biped BattleMech
Rules:         Level 2, Standard design

Mass:          90 tons
Chassis:       SL-XT Modified Endo Steel
Power Plant:   270 Fusion
Walking Speed: 32.4 km/h
Maximum Speed: 54.0 km/h
Jump Jets:     3 Standard Jump Jets
Jump Capacity: 90 meters
Armor Type:    Standard
Armament:     
  1 Gauss Rifle
  1 ER PPC
  1 Streak SRM 6
  2 ER Medium Lasers
  1 LRM 20
  1 ER Small Laser
  1 ECM Suite
Manufacturer:  (Unknown)
  Location:    (Unknown)
Communications System:  (Unknown)
Targeting & Tracking System:  (Unknown)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
     As their original Highlanders eventually broke down or were destroyed in
battle the Wolverines began to build new ones using clan technology. There
have only been a few of these seen, as they are more commonly used in the
second line garrison units on the Wolverine homeworlds. A few however have
been seen in the tithe units sent for their stint in the SLDF.

==Capabilities:==
     Vastly improving upon, but generally keeping the original Star League
design of the highlander the Wolverine version is exceptionally deadly. The
weapons are all upgraded to their clan equivalents, with the SRMs being
upgraded to Streak-SRMs in the process. The addition of an ERPPC, ERSL, and
ECM bring a lot more capability to this 'mech's arsenal. Switching to double
heat sinks allows for far more volume of fire as well.

I have to admit, I like the standard Highlander IIC variant more, with Guass, LRM20/w Artemis, 3 MPLAS and 2 SSRM6. It seems more faithful to the original Highlander. That being said, adding that ERPPC gives you a nice head chopper without ammo requirements. And ECM is always nice.

I also like the standard IIC variant, but this is another take on it that I needed to be different (because it is Wolverine) yet still faithful to the original while improving upon its firepower. I also edited the post and added the HM Pro file.
