Recognition notes
The Cauldron-Born (Samantha) is a 65-ton skirmisher fielding a closer-ranged, harder-hitting configuration of the same OmniMech as the Prime, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Where the Prime carries an LB 5-X AC in the left arm, this configuration mounts an Ultra AC/20, and in place of the Prime's Gauss Rifle the right arm holds an ER PPC. The left torso's LRM 10 and ER Medium Laser and the right torso's SRM 2 are replaced here by an ER Small Laser in the left torso and an LRM 10 shifted to the right torso. It shares the Prime's ferro-fibrous armor, endo steel structure, and low, hard-to-target silhouette. Huntress Manufacturing Plant DL-6 builds it, with production also at Manufacturing Plant SFF-CO1.
