One of the Federated Suns' first BattleMech designs, the Battleaxe was a much maligned mech in its era and remains as such today. The original variant, the primitive BKX-1X, was oddly a much better balanced mech than its later 'upgrades'. Armed with two each of Large Lasers, LRM-5s, and Machine Guns, with a solitary SRM-6, the BKX-1X had a weapon for all ranges. 19 standard heat sinks kept the mech moderately cooled and it was acceptably armored for its era. It was slow, but so was war back then. | One of the Federated Suns' first BattleMech designs, the Battleaxe was a much maligned mech in its era and remains as such today.

Description
One of the Federated Suns' first BattleMech designs, the Battleaxe was a much maligned mech in its era but thanks to a series of upgrades this, the BKX-8K, is a much more functional design. Still armed with the same core weapons, PPCs, LRM-5s, and a SRM-6, the upgrade of the -8K is focused around heat management and armor increases. The old Battleaxe fielded 9 tons of armor and 15 standard heat sinks, where the -8K fields 12.5 tons of armor and 15 double heat sinks. This doubles the mechs heat capacity and greatly boosts its durability. The BKX-8K proved a success and went on to serve with dignity in Davion formations.
