{{Mech Description
|Description=With three [[PPC]]s, the Awesome is capable of taking out most Mechs with a few well-placed shots. Thick armor helps it survive battle, but heat problems and low top speed limit its usefulness.
|Strengths=The [http://www.mektek.net MektTek] version of the Awesome retains the heavy energy compliment of the original Mercenaries modified Awesome, but has been upgraded with 2 additional [[Weapon Hardpoint|missile slots]] in the center torso and changing the left arm slots to a 3 slot [[Weapon Hardpoint|heat generating]]. The Mektek version can be configured to carry a total of 4 [[ERPPC]]s, but will require an extremely large number of heat sinks in this application. It can also be configured with 5 [[ER Large Laser]]s and enough heat sinks to allow effective firing rates. Useful as a long range sniper that can take punishment, all Awesomes are tough to kill.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=With the [[Weapon Hardpoint|missile slot]] and [[Weapon Hardpoint|heat generating]] upgrade, the Awesome is capable of providing a great deal more indirect fire support. The weapons are well distributed, protecting them from damage, and targeting the large center torso can be the quickest way to neutralize the threat. Long range Ballistics are most effective in countering the threat of the [http://www.mektek.net MektTek] Awesome, but the upgraded missile capacity gives it an additional long range capability and this must be considered.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
