==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Warhawk'' is powered by a massive 340 [[XL engine]] that gives it a top speed of 64.8 km/h and mounts thirteen and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor to protect itself from enemy fire. To dissipate the massive waste heat produced in its various configurations, it carries a staggering twenty [[double heat sink]]s.  Additionally, though not truly fixed equipment on the chassis, the ''Warhawk'' manages to incorporate an advanced [[Targeting Computer]] into each of its configurations, making all of its direct fire weapons extremely accurate.<ref name=TRO3050U140/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050R/><ref name=RGiCV20p13/>

In its primary configuration, the ''Warhawk'' has an impressive arsenal of long range weapons which are centered around four [[ER PPC]]s that take advantage of the 'Mech’s [[Targeting Computer]]. While unable to fire all of the ER PPCs at once it can use a [[volley fire]] strategy to manage its heat. These are backed up by an [[LRM-10]] launcher that allows the ''Warhawk'' a secondary weapon that can be utilized for long range combat.<ref name=TRO3050U140/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050R/><ref name=RGiCV20p13/>

Due to space constraints dictated by the targeting computer and over-engineered cooling system, large-bore autocannons are infrequently mounted, the consequence of complex routing of ammo feeds. The Warhawk excels when using direct-energy weapons and ER PPCs are signature weapon on many configurations.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 20, p. 13: "Warhawk (Masakari)"''</ref>
