Overview:
Ever since its founding, the Whitworth Specialty Manufacturing was primarily 
focused on developing upgrades on the much-maligned Whitworth battlemech.  
Despite their best efforts, none of the upgrades developed have improved the 
Whitworth's reputation in the eyes of many Mechwarriors.  Still, the company 
perservered in their efforts, resulting in a variant known as the WTH-2K 
Whitworth, which made its debut in 3071.


Capabilities:
The WTH-2K variant of the Whitworth was primarily inspired by the WTH-1S and 
the WTH-K  models.  This variant utilizes the same Endo-Steel Internal 
Structure like the WTH-K, but drops the improved jump jets in favor of the 
original Jetlift versions.  In terms of armament, each arm is fitted with a 
Lord's Light 4 model Light PPC that's coupled with a PPC Capacitor, providing 
the 'mech with stronger direct-fire capabilities.  These are supported by an 
MML-5 launcher in each side torso, supplied with a ton of LRM ammo and one ton 
of SRM ammo. Rounding out the armament is a head-mounted Diverse Optics ER 
Medium Laser.  The WTH-2K has ten double heat sinks to dissipate waste heat, 
while CASE in each side torso improves protection against ammo explosions, 
although this required the use of XL Gyro in order to free up the necessary 
tonnage.


Deployment:
So far, only the DCMS makes use of this Whitworth variant.
