Recognition notes
The Cauldron-Born D is a 65-ton heavy that fights at close to medium range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Where the Prime configuration carries an LB 5-X AC in the left arm, a Gauss rifle in the right arm, an LRM 10 and ER medium laser in the left torso, and an SRM 2 in the right torso, this configuration replaces the whole spread with a pair of Ultra AC/10s in the arms, an ER large laser in the left torso, and twin ER medium lasers in the right torso. The engine, structure, armor, and heat-sink fit carry over unchanged from the Prime. It keeps the low, hard-to-target silhouette common to the chassis, and is built by Huntress Manufacturing Plant DL-6 at Huntress, with production also at Corell.
