Archer ARC-4M2

The ARC-4M2 is a 70-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 3086 rebuild of the 2458 ARC-1A carried on a stronger 280 fusion engine that lifts cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65. Endo steel structure replaces the original's standard framing, and double heat sinks take over from the ARC-1A's ten single units. Where the ARC-1A carries a Medium Laser in each arm, the ARC-4M2 fits an ER Medium Laser in the Left Arm and one in the Right Arm, and adds a third ER Medium Laser facing rearward in the Center Torso. The paired LRM 20 racks in the Left Torso and Right Torso carry over from the original. It remains a command 'Mech with reinforced battle fists on both arms and a stable firing platform, and Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds it at Calloway VI.
