Overview:

From information file on the CHP-1N Champion:
    "Critics claim that a medium 'Mech in the 50- to 55 ton range can move at similar speeds with a smaller engine, leaving room for much more weaponry and armor. Earthwerks Incorporated bid for the same contract with a proposal for the GRF-3N, a modified version of its 55-ton Griffin, to achieve the same performance as the Champion at notably less cost. But Bergan Industries, manufacturer of the highly successful Locust, lobbied so intensively that its Champion proposal ultimately won out with an order for 200 machines."
    Assuming any prototypes survived, they might be upgraded like this.
