| The 
          Awesome's ability to blend battlefield durability with a potent arsenal 
          and mobility has made it a longtime favorite among the Inner Sphere 
          warriors. As such, its venerable AWS-8Q variant had previously not undergone 
          any major revisions, and even though the mech is still widely used, 
          it's starting to show its age. MechWarrior 4 will feature the AWS-9M 
          version of the Awesome, which now boasts a number of improvements throughout 
          its design. Key among these upgrades is an enhanced engine, the new 
          Hermes 320 XL, which provides the giant 80-ton Awesome with a 28 percent 
          increase in running speed over the older variant.  | |||||||||
