================================================================================================
Overview:
    Unlike the 4M which leaned into mobility with the addition of 5 improved jump-jets the 5M
    would reaffirm the traditional Tempest battle line roll. This variant on the Tempest design
    would be viewed by Irian as its direct response to the Anzu developed by Earthworks. It
    would be receive favorable reviews from the Duchy of Oriente who were pleased to expand upon
    their stable of gun line options.

Capabilities:
    The TMP-5M would retain the 12.5 tons of standard plate, the 10 double heat sinks, and the
    ever-present gauss rifle from the previous design. However it would revert back to 4
    standard jump jets. The 5M would also drop the Snub Nose PPC and two of the three medium
    lasers. This would clear enough space for a large VSP laser, placed in the right arm, and a
    Clan-grade SRM 6 installed into the left torso. An AMS system would replace one of the
    medium lasers in the head. Both the SRM and AMS would be supplied with one ton of CASE II
    protected ammo stored in the left torso of the design.
