Overview:
The Free Worlds League, currently the only producer of the Cicada, has given this design increasing priority in recent years. The availability of recovered technology - in this case the XL engine - has let to several new models, the most well known are the initial 3M - with the new Ultra-5 Autocannon, and the later 3F - with an endo steel frame, freezers, an Extended-Range PPC, full jump, and improved armor.

Known Variants - 3T:
A less well known variant is the 3T, based on the 3F and a previous experimental model the 3C. As the Free World League never had extensive standard PPC factories, the 3C never took of, as the whole PPC output was used on Awesomes. Now, with the planned upgrade of the Awesome to Er-PPCs, a limited run of the 3T was produced. The 3Cs leg mounted machine guns were replaced by anti-missile systems, and a third AMS was installed in the head. By using a mixture of the 3C and 3F (each carrying a PPC in a different side torso), twin standard PPCs could be installed.
