================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Spindel 4S is a frightening opponent to face. When used to its fullest, it's an
    impossibly hard to hit 'Mech that mangles its prey before jumping to the next victim in its
    web. On its own, this Spindel will batter an enemy unit. When paired with the 5S, the two
    will function as BattleMech assassins. Make no mistake; they will punch above their weight
    in tonnage.

Capabilities:
    Like the other Spindel models, the 4S sports a low profile making it a tough target to hit.
    To make matters worse for the opponent, the 4S carries a quintet of jump jets. Should it
    find its way into an enemy's rear, the 4S has a large payload of medium pulse lasers to
    plunge into its adversary. The Hajepokalyps Crew guarantee the 4S' proficiency in
    brutalizing enemy combatants.

Deployment:
    In a similar design philosophy to recent Spindel models, the 4S exists to fulfill its own
    purpose: quick destruction of an opposing BattleMech. In order to best accomplish this, the
    Hajepokalyps Crew recommends multiple 4S models to be deployed around the area of engagement
    in hidden locations alongside 5S models. When activated, the 4S units can swarm and
    overwhelm an enemy. The 5S will then strike with Tandem Charge SRM rounds resulting in its
    targets internals to be akin to human organs after prolonged radiation exposure- liquified.

Variants:
    The 4S is the fourth iteration of the Spindel that the Hajepokalyps Crew has designed. It's
    less niche than its sibling variants, but it still has a specific purpose.
