Description
The original Archer prototype built for the Terran Hegemony in 2458 with Primitive Technology. It was slower than the successor ARC-2R variant with a top speed of 54 km/h with the inclusion of a Primitive Engine. Its loadout was somewhat similar, with the frame housing a pair of LRM-20's and 4 tons of ammunition, but only mounted two Medium Lasers, one in each fully-articulated arm. It was protected by 16 tons of Primitive Armor. At the time, it was praised for its reliability and ease of maintenance, although in combat produced far more excess heat than the machine could handle if all weapons were fired - a similar issue carried over to the later Archer.

Description
The 2K Archer was a modification built for House Kurita in 2856. The 'Mech replaced the LRM-20 launchers with LRM-15 launchers and removed all of the medium lasers along with some armor. They used this extra weight to add a Large Laser in each arm and two heat sinks.

Description
Introduced in 2474, the ARC-2R Archer became one of the best-known and most widely-used BattleMechs available. Though many were destroyed or dismantled for spare parts, they remained a common sight in the Great House armies, and has been a staple of Inner Sphere armies ever since.

Description
Equipped with Star League technology, the 2Rb variant of the Archer was built for SLDF Royal units starting in 2752. Built on an Endo Steel internal structure, this variant dropped one of the rear-firing medium lasers and one ton of ammunition to equip the LRM-20s with Artemis IV fire control systems and CASE. The 2Rb also used ten double heat sinks to keep the 'Mech cool.

Description
The 2S was another modification made to allow the Archer to defend itself more easily against an enemy that managed to close range with it. Built for House Steiner in 2915, the 2S replaced the LRM-20 launchers with two LRM-15 launchers and used the saved weight to add two SRM-4 launchers, carried in either side torso along with one ton of ammunition per launcher, giving it additional short range firepower.

Description
Carrying a pair of SRM-4s in place of two medium lasers, this was the trademark subvariant used by the Wolf's Dragoons, which they produced in the assembly plant aboard their space station Hephaestos until its destruction in 3028. It was once stated by Jaime Wolf that all of the Dragoons' Archers were of this variant.

Description
An upgrade using rediscovered Star League technology, the 4M was built built on Calloway VI by Earthwerks for the Free Worlds League. It used an Endo Steel chassis to free up weight for a number of improvements. It carried an additional half-ton of armor and utilized ten double heat sinks for added heat dissipation capabilities. The 'Mech also upgraded its twin LRM-20 launchers by adding Artemis IV fire control systems to the launchers and incorporated CASE to protect the four tons of missile ammo.

Description
Built by ComStar for the brutal Battle of Tukayyid, the Archer-5CS would prove extremely adept at punishing Clan aggression. Armed with a quartet of LRM-15s, all linked to an ArtemisIV fire computer, the ARC-5CS was more than capable of raining down death on any target it could get locks on. A paltry pair of Medium Lasers back up the missile racks though, meaning the mech struggled up-close for defense. Plentiful ammo bins keep the LRMs firing at all times. The -5CS proved able enough that ComStar kept it in production after Tukayyid.

Description
Built by the GKT Enterprise factory on Satalice for the Free Rasalhague Republic, the 5R bore similarities to the 2K model of the Archer. It carried a pair of LRM-15 launchers but mounted two ER Large Lasers, one in either arm, in place of the medium lasers. It also linked Artemis IV fire control systems to the launchers and utilized twelve double heat sinks to improve waste heat dissipation. Despite being built around an Endo-Steel chassis, these improvements necessitated a decrease in armor protection by two tons.

Description
The 5S variant of the Archer, built out of Defiance Industries, was the official variant for the Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth. The 5S upgraded the engine to a 280 XL Engine. The 5S also reduced the LRM-20 launchers to LRM-15s. This saved weight was used to add two Streak SRM-2 launchers, one in each arm and fed by two tons of reloads in the side torsos. They also upgraded the four medium lasers to Medium Pulse Lasers. Finally, the 'Mech carried a Narc Missile Beacon launcher in its left torso. All of the ammunition carried by the 5S was protected by CASE.

Description
The 5W was an upgrade of the 2W variant, and was produced for the Wolf's Dragoons by Bowie Industries. Done in an orbital 'Mech repair facility which was converted into a 'Mech assembly line, the 'Mech was upgraded with an XL Engine to save weight and used ten double heat sinks for greater heat dissipation. It retained the two LRM-20 launchers but replaced all other weaponry with one TharHes Blue SRM-4 launchers in each arm and a Narc Missile Beacon launcher in the center torso. The 5W was supplied with four tons of LRM reloads, and two tons of SRM reloads, all carried in the CASE-protected side torsos.

Description
Created to take advantage of some cutting edge weapons technology, the Archer-6Q is an unusual beast. Most Archers are LRM support mechs, but the -6Q was designed for arena fighting on Solaris VII and so had to be flashier than plain-jane LRMs. To that end, it carries a pair each of Thunderbolt 10 and Thunderbolt 5 launchers. Together, this gives it nearly the same indirect fire capability but in a more arena-friendly package. For close range fights, the -6Q comes with four Medium X-Pulse Lasers and an ER Small Laser. 13 double heat sinks struggle to keep the mech's heat under control.

Description
A Clan-tech retrofit of the standard Star League Defense Force ARC-2R Archer and intended for second-line and solahma troops, the Archer C replaced all Inner Sphere weaponry with their Clan counterparts without modifying any structural components. The Archer C mounted a pair of LRM-20s, capable of launching Swarm LRM munitions, and a quartet of ER Medium Lasers.
