Recognition notes
The Argus AGS-8DX is a 60-ton skirmisher built around a Rotary AC/5 in the right arm and an MML 7 in the left, with a single ER medium laser in each torso. A targeting computer sits in the right torso alongside CASE, and a boosted C3 slave unit shares the left torso with a second CASE installation. Endo steel structure and a 300 XL fusion engine carry it to a cruising speed of 54 km/h and a top speed of 86, with 12 double heat sinks handling the standard armor plating. Its arms are minimal weapon pods without hands, and the chassis is built for easy servicing. Robinson Standard BattleWorks builds it at Robinson.
