Overview:
    "f*!k, I guess there is a budget cap. "
    
    The Walkden A1 is the result of a simple complaint about the original A2: the price. As a
    result, almost all of the advanced components were removed and replaced with versions more
    in-line with client budgets.
    
    With the downgrading of the A2 ER PPC to a standard model, and the additional liberties this
    granted the designers in terms of heat load, they once again compromised on the weapons heat
    shielding. Rather than simply whittle the heat shield down to an acceptable minimum, the A1
    simply had it removed altogether.

Overview:
    "What do you mean they nuked the supplier"
    
    As a result of the desolation wrought by the succession wars it became neccessary to refit
    the Walkden design into something fighting forces could reasonably be expected to have
    replacement parts for. The result of this the B1 variant was born.
    
    Abandoning the double heat sinks, CASE and a large chunk of the weapons suite, the B1 cannot
    brawl to the same degree of its predecessors. It has not compromised its core function in
    creating cover for friendly units despite this.
    
    The armour, surprisingly, was able to be retained and so the mech continues to endure
    despite the maufacturers declining capabilitirs as time goes on.
