Recognition notes
The BL-6-KNT (Ian) is a 75-ton brawler, a 3039 field refit of the 2578 original built around the same 300 fusion engine and the same weapons array of paired large lasers in the side torsos, a PPC in the right arm, and medium lasers scattered through both arms and torsos. Where the base model carries a small laser in the head, this refit drops it in favor of a hatchet in the left arm. Triple-strength myomer replaces the standard myomer of the original, and prototype ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard plating, though the heat-sink count falls from 20 to 15 single sinks and the endo steel internal structure gives way to standard structure. Cruising and top speeds hold at 43 and 65 km/h, with a boosted cruising speed of 65 km/h available under combat heat. It remains a command 'Mech, and as a field refit it carries no fixed manufacturer or factory of record.
