Overview:
    A configuration favored among some mechwarriors operating in the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon
    over the course of decades, this TC was used as a supplement to the Prime and as a cavalry
    mech. An excellent all rounder, it mounted a pair of large pulse lasers and ER medium
    lasers, one in each arm. These large pulse lasers were favored for their efficiency against
    the Summoner omnimech, a common mech in the Jade Falcon inventory. Each side torso mounts an
    LRM 15 and two tons of ammunition per launcher, allowing it to keep firing after the Prime's
    LRM stores would run dry. Again, this overwhelmed the firepower and endurance of the
    Summoner Prime by a significant margin. A flamer mounted in the center torso provided an
    extra weapon in a knife fight and an effective weapon against both elementals and clan
    infantry.
    
    While never becoming popular enough to be established as a standard configuration and mostly
    used by Inner Sphere forces (notably the Kell Hounds), it saw some use by Clan Wolf in Exile
    as well. Star Commander Malacai of the 4th Wolf Guards in fact used the configuration
    exclusively with great success on both Bountiful Harvest in 3073 and during Operation SCOUR.
    He would go on to win a bloodname in the Sender bloodhouse and a promotion to Star Captain
    in 3082, although by then he had taken to piloting a Warhawk instead of a Timber Wolf, in
    honor of his former commanding officer Ranna Kerensky.
