Structure: ES (2LL, 2RL, 6RT, 4RA )
Engine: 320 Light
Gyro: 4t
HS: 11 DHS
replace PPC with ER-PPC
replace AC/20 with UAC/20
increase AC/20 ammo to 4 tons (UAC/20 ammo of course!)
add a CASE to LT
Has to be a new factory variant because of ES, Light engine and 4t-gyro!

3050 upgrade
brawler
12 DHS (*sigh*  ) (- 5 t)
3 JJ (3 t)
13 t FF armor (- 1.5 t)
CASE LT (0.5t)
Upgrade LRMs to 15 (2t)
one ton of AC ammo (1t)
PPC either to ER PPC or LPL (with LPL it would be possible to remove two DHSs and upgrade forward firing lasers to pulse) or leave alone.
sniper (very simple mod)
17 HS
Gauss instead of AC (1 t)
13 t FF armor (- 1.5 t)
CASE LT (0.5t)
(maybe ER PPC if you don't mind some heat)

A 3050 upgrade.
11 DHS.
Max standard armor.
+1 med laser.
+1 ton AC ammo.
Artemis IV.
Guardian ECM.
CASE.
PPC to ER PPC.
I see this as a late 3040s (Clan Invasion) upgrade. Quick, few changes, but still an increase in effectiveness. It has a few heat problems, but no too badly. I considered an LBX, but they're not available then, and I like the idea of a flipping AC/20.

First Lyran UAC/20 was available around 3059, otherwise no problems with that.

This comes pretty close to still keeping its name as the butcher and still being simple to build..
