================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Ultimate pilot boiler was designed by two drunk Clan engineers as an expensive one-off
    to see exactly how much heat a mech could generate within a timespan of 10 seconds. Using
    the frame of an Inner Sphere Awesome AWS-8Q and a 320-rated standard engine taken as Isorla,
    a handful heavy medium lasers and a single ER large laser they happened to have at hand. Two
    engineers drunk-driving the modifed BattleMech, the firing of 25 heavy medium lasers plus
    one ER large laser and one brief rescue operation later, the engineers were reprimanded
    severely and were forced to dismantle the machine. The frame of the Awesome was later refit
    to Clan standards by the same engineers, now sober, and was assigned to a green Freeborn
    pilot. Should rumors be believed, the refit Awesome that was the Ultimate pilot boiler is
    still uncomfortably warm to this day.

Capabilities:
    The Ultimate pilot boiler was designed with naught but one consideration: generating as much
    heat as possible within the timespan of 10 seconds. While it could theoretically be used to
    devastating effect, being able to destroy fourteen and a half tons of armor in a very short
    amount of time, but the enormous amount of heat generated by such an attack would likely
    destroy the engine, rendering the 'mech inoperable while possibly boiling the pilot in the
    process.

Deployment:
    The Ultimate pilot boiler was deployed exactly once on Radjle in the outskirts of a garrison
    location. From where the Awesome-8Q upon which the Ultimate Pilot Boiler was based on came
    from is still unknown to this day.

Variants:
    One one Ultimate pilot boiler was ever built, so no variants exist.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Joshua - Joshua was one of the two drunk engineers responsible for the Ultimate pilot
    boiler's brief though glorious existence, the other being Henrick. Both were washed-out
    Trueborns of the same sibko, Joshua being of the Mechwarrior phenotype while Henrick was of
    the Elemental phenotype. It has been noted in the margins of the admininistrative papers in
    which the existence and story of the Ultimate pilot boiler was discovered and recounted that
    they were close friends and that both of them were heavy drinkers. Henrick clumsily clinged
    onto the mech in a borrowed suit of Elemental armor while Joshua piloted the Ultimate pilot
    boiler. The ejection system failed to function after the overheat, and as such Henrick had
    to break the cockpit open to save Joshua from being boiled alive.
