Overview:
    While the Linebacker proved popular among Clan Wolf-in-Exile, designers were somewhat less
    than happy about the compromises to podspace made for the design. Going back to the original
    design principles in 3060 and reusing much of the endosteel frame, electronics, and armor of
    the original design, the project was as much an exercise in refinement as it was in keeping
    the original spirit of the design alive. Shaving five tons off of the original Linebacker
    design, the Fullback was more than capable of dueling with the heavier design, and fast
    enough to keep up with medium and light forces while providing heavy firepower. A 360 XL
    engine shared with the Ice Ferret provided an excellent top speed of 97.2 km/h, while ten
    and a half tons of ferro fibrous armor improved on the protection of the Linebacker in most
    areas. The structural limitations slightly lowered the side torso protection by roughly a
    quarter ton, but the central torso and leg protection are greatly increased. Fourteen clan
    double heat sinks are built into the engine. Nineteen tons of pod space provide a moderate
    improvement over the Linebacker - lacking compared to the more common Mad Dog, but a trade
    off to achieve the high speed favored by those who preferred the Linebacker.
    
    At the end of four years, the new model would leave Wolf Clan Site #1 to much fanfare and
    approval of SaKhan Marco Hall.

Capabilities:
    The Primary Configuration of the Fullback is extremely similar to the Linebacker, switching
    the standard PPC's out for instead a pair of ER Large Lasers and ER Medium Lasers. Two
    LRM5's fed by a ton of ammunition in the left torso add to this long range firepower, while
    a Streak SRM6 in the right torso provides a way to finish off the opposition as it
    spearheads assaults. A pair of extra heat sinks make the design slightly more heat
    efficient, although determined mechwarriors can quickly overwhelm them.
