Though one of the earliest lost BattleMechs, the Bellerophon was resurrected in the early 3030s by a Lyran Commonwealth looking for any war material they could lay hands on. Thanks to almost six centuries of improved BattleMech knowledge, Lyran designers rapidly sorted out the issues with the original design and even changed around the design slightly. The SRM was swapped for a heavier LRM-15, made possible by use of a standard engine and armor. The Large Lasers were retained but a new set of 16 heat sinks kept the mech well cooled. The Bellerophon served well and went on to have several later upgrades as technology recovered. | Though one of the earliest lost BattleMechs, the Bellerophon was resurrected in the early 3030s by a Lyran Commonwealth looking for any war material they could lay hands on.

Built by House Steiner as a testbed for the experimental Variable-Speed Pulse Lasers, the BEL-3Q found more acceptance with front-line units for its plentiful energy weapon mounts than it did for the VSPLs. Armed with a paltry-looking loadout for a heavy, the Large VSPL and 4 Medium VSPLs proved capable if the Bellerophon could close range effectively, though the relatively slow speed made that difficult most of the time. Additionally, the XL Engine and only 11.5 tons of armor made the mech fragile while the 15 DHS struggled to keep the mech cooled in most circumstances. | Built by House Steiner as a testbed for the experimental Variable-Speed Pulse Lasers, the BEL-3Q found more acceptance with front-line units for its plentiful energy weapon mounts than it did for the VSPLs.

In the 3060s, the Steiners built several more upgrades of the Bellerophon, including this, the BEL-3S. Armed with a simple, though ammo-dependent, loadout, the -3S proved a battlefield success. Paired Streak SRM-6s provide highly accurate firepower at close-range while a trio of Light Autocannon/5s provide respectable ranged punch. Endo-Steel gives the mech the weight required for the weaponry while 10 DHS keep it all cool. | Though one of the earliest lost BattleMechs, the Bellerophon was resurrected in the early 3030s by a Lyran Commonwealth looking for any war material they could lay hands on.

Responding to a call from their front-line forces for more artillery support, the brass in the LCAF ordered this Bellerophon put into production. The BEL-4S uses the cutting-edge Thunderbolt missile system to provide clean and simple indirect fire support for front-line combatants.

Designed by House Steiner shortly after their acquisition of the Mackie, the Bellerophon had technical issues with its gyro that prevented full-scale deployment and was lost to history.

The Large Lasers and SRM-4 combo quickly overwhelm the spare 14 heat sinks, but the armor is acceptable and the speed is ok, leading to its deployment in Periphery armies.
