Description
The Flashman did not handle the Succession Wars well, being almost wiped out and only being saved by Defiance Industries producing this, the FLS-7K, a downgraded variant with all basic technologies. The weapons are much the same, but the engine was dropped to a 300-rated Vlar engine, losing a good amount of maximum speed. However, the true loss was the cooling systems, being forced to drop to 23 standard heat sinks crippled the mech's heat control. The FLS-7K was only produced during the Succession Wars and when the plans for the -8K were rediscovered, the -7K fell out of production.

Description
The Flashman, which was first introduced in 2701, is a 'Mech that is capable of engaging an enemy for extended periods of time with little re-supply. Armed with a purely energy configuration and often called a 'flashbulb', the Flashman was a prized unit in the SLDF. After the fall of the Star League, the base model FLS-8K fell out of production as its advanced technology stopped being produced. However, with the Helm Core's discovery the mech was put back into production. The FLS-8K carries a battery of Large and Medium Lasers, a Flamer, and an AMS. It moves at a speedy 81 kph at max throttle. 15 DHS do their best but can't manage the mech's incredible heat.

Description
The first variant produced by Word of Blake in the 3060s, the 9B utilizes a light fusion engine, Compact Gyro, Endo Steel structure, Light Ferro-Fibrous armor, and a Small Cockpit. Twelve double heat sinks struggle to cool the all-laser configuration. Two ER Large Lasers enable the Flashman to strike from long distances. Two ER medium lasers, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and an ER Small Laser are powerful up close. A C3i Computer enables the 9B to share targeting telemetry with other, like-equipped units.

Description
The Flashman, which was first introduced in 2701, is a 'Mech that is capable of engaging an enemy for extended periods of time with little re-supply. The 9C, a complete overhaul of the Flashman produced by Defiance Industries for ComStar in 3061, carries three ER large lasers, five medium lasers, and an improved C3 computer. In order to accomplish this, the armor on the design has been upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous and the 'Mech now has an Endo Steel chassis.

Description
Designed by an utter lunatic, the Incineration is a Flashman twisted to the absolute extreme. Armed with nothing but 35 Clan-tech Flamers, the Incineration is a walking god of flame. However, ironically, it cannot handle the waste heat of so many Flamers at once, often instantly shutting down once combat is engaged. Generally though nothing survives the absurd volume of literal fire that the Incineration can produce so it shutting down is often irrelevant.
