==Overview:==
     The Mauler is the Federated Commonwealth codename for a Kurita assault.
This variant seems to be a deadly upgrade of the 1R. As with its for father
security is extremely tight around the project. Some speculate that this is
because of another houses involvement in the project.
     Best intelligence expects the design to be slow but advanced as the 1R
was, using an endo-steel chassie and double heat sinks. 
Several prototypes have been seen but only
in glimpses.  Only on a hand full of occassions has Word of Blake 
able to obtain a photograph for detailed study.
     This particular model employs double Victory Nickel Alloy Extended-Range
Large Lasers, one in each arm.  It also has what seems like twin Rotary 
Autocannon Class 2's, one on each side. It appears that original Autocannon
where traded with Rotary types, at the cost of overall range but with an 
increased rate of fire. Each side of the torso also appears to have a
Shigunga Long Range Missile 15-Rack, and Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment
for the ammo reloads.
     Another benafit of this design is the decrease of cost and increase of
battlefield endurance. With extra weight saved from the endo-steel and weapon
reconfiguration, a Standard engine was installed in place of the Extra-Light
and an additional Two tons of Armor plating. We project that this variant will
replace the original 1R and supprise any warriors foolish enough to belive it is
the original.
