	*; ANV-8M : The 8M variant is a radical modification of the 'Mech intended to provide artillery fire support. This is done by removing the 'Mech's entire arsenal, the jump jets, and reducing its engine to a 240-rated version allowing the 'Mech to move at 64.8 km/h. This version of the 'Mech also has a [[MASC]] system installed which allows it to travel at up to 86.4 km/h in short bursts. The 'Mech has had an [[Arrow IV]] artillery system installed as its primary weapon and an ER Large Laser for long-range combat. For close combat, the 'Mech has two [[ER medium laser]]s.

The 'Mech was paired with the ''[[Hammer (BattleMech)|Hammer]]'' 'Mech after the ''Anvil's'' tests showed the two 'Mechs would work well together. The ''Anvil'' is built using a [[Vlar (Fusion Engines)|Vlar 300]] engine that provides the ''Anvil'' with both durability and a maximum speed of 86.4 km/h. The ''Anvil''s mobility is enhanced with three Chilton 365 [[jump jet]]s that allow the 'Mech to jump up to ninety meters. The ''Anvil'' is armed with a short range arsenal that makes the 'Mech a powerful brawler when combined with its mobility, armor, and protection against advanced electronics with its Apple Churchill Guardian [[ECM Suite]].<ref name=TRO3055U48-49>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', pp. 48-49, "Anvil 'Mech Components"</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Anvil'' carries a powerful short range arsenal. The primary weapons are a pair of Sutel Precision Line [[Large Pulse Laser]]s which provide powerful medium to long range firepower. The short range firepower is bolstered with a pair of Martell [[medium laser]]s.<ref name=TRO3055U48-49/> ==Variants== *; possible variants : Numerous field or factory modifications have been suggested, not all of which have received designators. Downgrading the large pulse lasers to mediums and using the weight savings for armor and/or weapons is a common proposal.<ref name=TRCIp136f /> *; ANV-3R : A simple modification of the ''Anvil'', the 3R model removes the three jump jets from the 'Mech and replaces them with three additional tons of armor, giving the 'Mech superb armor protection.<ref name=TRCIp136f /> BV (1.0) = 1,264<ref name=CO129/>, BV (2.0) = 1,496<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 73</ref> *; ANV-5M : Looking to increase the long range firepower of the ''Anvil'', the 5M removes the [[Large Pulse Laser]]s and replaces them with two [[ER Large Laser]]s and two more medium lasers have been added to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,452<ref name=CO129/>, BV (2.0) = 1,687<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 74</ref> *; ANV-5Q : The 5Q variant of the ''Anvil'' is a modification that looks to increase the 'Mechs heat dissipation abilities. The ECM Suite has been removed with a half ton of armor and the 'Mech has had two [[double heat sink]]s added to the design.<ref name=TRCIp136f /> BV (1.0) = 1,210<ref name=CO129/>, BV (2.0) = 1,336<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 75</ref> *; ANV-6M : The 6M variant of the ''Anvil'' is often paired with the 8M variant. This version is nearly identical to the base 3M model, but mounts a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] system in the head in place of a medium laser. It also has slightly less armor on the torsos.<ref name=TRCIp136f /> BV (2.0) = 1,366<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 76</ref> *; ANV-8M : The 8M variant is a radical modification of the 'Mech intended to provide artillery fire support.
