Black Knight BL-X-KNT “Red Reaper”

The BL-X-KNT “Red Reaper” rebuilds the Black Knight as a 75-ton juggernaut that fights close in, a shift from the BL-6-KNT's brawler role, though both cruise at 43 km/h and top out near 65 km/h. Where the BL-6-KNT spreads a PPC, twin large lasers, and a scatter of medium and small lasers across its frame, this variant mounts a Heavy PPC with a PPC capacitor in the left torso and stacks five Medium X-Pulse Lasers in the right torso. The left arm carries a large vibroblade and the right arm a large shield in place of any energy weapon, and the Beagle active probe found on the base model is absent. A 300 XL fusion engine replaces the base's standard 300 fusion engine, standard internal structure replaces its endo steel frame, and light ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard plating, while the heat-sink count falls from 20 single to 15 double. It is fielded as a field refit, assembled at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
