 ===Variant C - ''"ThunderKiss"''===
 Aptly named the '''''"ThunderKiss"''''', this Fafnir relies upon a pair of [[Tbolt|Thunderbolt 20]]s to deliver pain at distances other Fafnir variants can only dream of. Six arm-mounted [[ML]]s supplement the launchers well, providing much-needed damage between volleys. The C even carries a [[TAG]] laser for assisting in guiding its lethal payload to the target. [[BAP]] and [[GECM]] ensure that even targets running passive radar cannot hide from it. The switch to a missile-based weapon does introduce a crucial flaw to the design: the C has a long window of engagement, meaning a smart enemy will duck and cover as soon as the TBolts are fired, causing them to impact harmlessly into the terrain. Also, small, fast units such as [[hovercraft]] or aircraft can dodge TBolt strikes with relative ease, while larger targets such as assault Mechs often carry a [[LAMS]], which are capable of shooting down TBolts.

 ===Variant F===
 A terrifying mix - mounting both the most disruptive weapon and one of the highest DPS weapons on one of the most durable chassis; and with a [[engines|STD Engine]] to boot. A pair of [[RAC5]] can offer tremendous damage at a respectable range, however this chassis truly shines under 350m where the dual [[AC20]] can join in both battering and bruising your target. Chainfiring your AC20's is a necessity to get the most out of their screenshake potential, however don't just look at them as purely disruption- since their damage is nothing to ignore either.

 ===Prime===
-The Fafnir Prime is one of the most powerful Mechs available for close quarters combat. Mounting not one, but two [[HGauss|Heavy Gauss Rifles]], the Prime is capable of destroying light targets such as Light Mechs and [[Hovercraft]] in a single [[alpha strike]]. Though the Gauss have a long [[recharge|recycle time]] between shots, an extra ton of armor allows the Prime to spend that time soaking up any enemy fire without issue. This variant carries a larger ammo bin than most others, whopping 8 tons of [[Free tons | extra ammunition]], allowing more liberal use of the Gauss Rifles. However, this comes at a cost of having meager secondary weapons, only carrying two [[ERML|ER Medium Lasers]] and a single [[MPL|Medium Pulse Laser]] to rely on against [[BA]] or if the ammo bins run dry. Despite the Mechs awe-inspiring power, the short ranged armament and slow speed means that the best tactic to counter it is to simply turn tail and run - The reduced damage of the Gauss Rifles beyond 450 meters is not often worth wasting the ammo when the Prime is close to empty. The [[GECM]] system allows the Prime to remain undetected at range whilst searching for unwary targets, as well as offering slight protection against LRM users. Should your teammates allow enemy [[Battle Armor]] get too close, [[B-Pod]] will help with its disposal.

The Prime is very flexible in that it can provide modest mid-range [[fire support]], when it's in the right terrain with lots of cover it can operate as a [[skirmisher]] and when supported by allies, the Prime makes an excellent [[tanking|tank]].

 ===Variant G===
-{{fluff}}
+The Fafnir G has a much lower maximum damage output than many other Fafnirs, the reason for this is the G's weapons, which are focused on long-[[range]], and the G's rather heavy Standard [[Engine]] which makes it substantially more survivable than most other [[variants]]. The G does get a little hot as it only has 1 [[DHS]] to deal with its two nice high [[splash damage]] [[ERPPC]]s. The most aggressive weapons equipped on the G are a pair of [[Gauss]] rifles that unload a nasty strike of [[pinpoint damage]], and they match the 900m range of the ERPPCs. Pilots are advised to take advantage of the G's standard engine and do as much [[twist fighting]] as possible and avoiding [[staring]] as much as possible. To supply the G with ammo for its Gauss Rifles are two [[free tons]].

-===Variant G - ''"SLAPCHOP"''===
+===Variant G===
 The Fafnir G "SLAPCHOP" A complete array of Particle Projection Cannons starting with two of the hardest hitting PPC Cannons, the [[HPPC|Heavy PPCs]]s. Anything you hit will be aware of your presence. Bear in mind the long recharge time only provides 5.5 shots per minute. While recharging, the two [[PPC|Standard PPCs]] release tremendous damage and the 2 [[LPPC|Light PPCs]] finish the job. 11 [[DHS]] to control the heat of contentious fire of the PPCs, though wise pilots will watch their temperature. [[EOptics]] allow a second level of visual magnification enabling a zoom of 2.5x for a potential target. As with all Fafnirs', the low speed 54 km/h and slow torso [[twist]] warrants that you travel in a group- and watch your flank.
