Overview:
    Because Arctic Silence could not afford to produce the expensive WRB-3X without increasing
    production of "sale 'Mechs" the chief engineers produced a simplified version of the 'Mech
    that was less effective but half the price. It also has a fatal flaw built into the design
    that only the top members of Arctic Silence and the First Prince know of. It is so subtle
    that even if it was exploited, no one would be able to tell it apart from a fluke shot.
    
    16 of these 'Mechs have been sold, 4 a year, chiefly to elite mercenary units outside of the
    Federated Suns.

Capabilities:
    This 'Mech costs so much less than the -3X because a standard VLAR 300 fusion engine has
    been used. However, The same weapons are installed. Therefore to make room for the heavier
    engine, the hardened armour and jump jets have been stripped and a small cockpit
    re-introduced. The upside of this is that the old Clan Endo Composite Structure has been
    used which is less bulky than the -3X's Endo Steel skeleton, and two ER Small Lasers and a
    Pulse Laser have been included in the design. The armour is half a ton lighter than that of
    the original Warbird, with the rear armour being reduced.
    
    Despite this, the WRB-3 still wields frightful firepower in the form of its 3 LB 20-X
    Autocannons. The obvious difference in quality between this 'Mech and the -3X has earnt it
    the slightly less intimidating name 'Deathmonger'.

Deployment:
    This 'Mech has been deployed a few times in minor battles accros the Inner Sphere, with
    three being brought down on the battlefield.

Variants:
    There are (as of 3145) two variants of the Warbird (which are split into multiple
    sub-variants):
    
    The WRB-4 and WRB-4L, the WRB-3 & WRB-3X and the WRB-3S.

Notable MechWarriors:
    No notable Mechwarriors have piloted this "second-rate" BattleMech.
