Recognition notes
The Cauldron-Born T is a 65-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the Prime configuration carries an LB 5-X AC in the left arm and a Gauss Rifle in the right, this configuration mounts an Ultra AC/5 in the left arm and an ER PPC in the right. In place of the Prime's LRM 10 and ER Medium Laser, the left torso here carries a Streak LRM 10 and an Improved Heavy Medium Laser, and the right torso trades the Prime's single SRM 2 for a pair of Thunderbolt 5 launchers. Clan CASE II lines both torsos, guarding against the added ammunition-fed weapons, and the type keeps the same low, hard-to-target silhouette as its sibling. Huntress Manufacturing Plant DL-6 builds it, with additional production at Manufacturing Plant SFF-CO1.
