================================================================================================
Overview:
    JP-8R Jenner/Panther hybride is a curious prototype that resulted from experimentation with
    high tech components and two most popular Combine light battlemechs. The project never left
    prototype stage, although the chassis was deemed viable and later further developed as
    JR10-X.

Capabilities:
    Thanks to the 245 rated XL engine and Ferro Fibrous armour the Jenner/Panther manages to
    combine Jenner's mobility and close range firepower with Panther's armour and partially even
    reach. The snub-nosed PPC is not exactly a full replacement for the old Lord's Light PPC,
    but it can match it in destructive power up close. Unfortunately the XL engine is far more
    fragile than standard models used earlier, which has been prooven by a nearly fatal crash
    after skidding rearward after a sharp turn on wet ferrocrete.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Hiro "Bottom first" Ueda
    Hiro worked hard on the tests of JP-8R and took whole matter personally. He became a
    Laughingstock of the unit after crashing the prototype in a rather comical way in his
    superior's office. After two months of remorseless teasing he commited seppuku, making a
    tragic show of the high competiton athmosphere in Combine R&D facilities.
