Mechs/MLN-2A

==Description==
A prototype that never saw widespread adoption, the Merlin 2A was Mountain Wolfs next generation offering unveiled alongside the 1B variant in 3053. Built around a 240-rated XL Engine, it is armed with a pair of ER Large Lasers and a pair of Medium Pulses. The 1A's Machine Gun is retained and the LRM-5 upgraded to a LRM-10. The addition of CASE protects the ammunition bays and 14 Double Heat Sinks handle the increased heat burden. At almost 19 million CBills, the design was rejected as too expensive and too reliant on advanced technology that the Outworlds Alliance struggled to produce. Mountain Wolf shelved the design, though not before a single run of 20 2A's were produced. Most of these were fielded by the Mountain Wolf security team, but some found their way into the hands of the elite Avellar Guard.
