Recognition notes
The Cerberus MR-5M is a 95-ton assault brawler, a 3055 field refit of the 3054 MR-V2. Where the MR-V2 carries a second Gauss Rifle in the right arm, the MR-5M mounts an ER PPC and a pair of Medium Pulse Laser there instead, leaving the Gauss Rifle in the left arm as the type's sole ballistic reach weapon. The four Medium Pulse Lasers in the torsos, the rear-facing Machine Gun in each side torso, and the Anti-Missile System in the head carry over from the MR-V2. Heat-sink count rises from 12 double to 15 double, and the conversion is handled as a field refit rather than at a fixed factory, built at various sites rather than by the original manufacturer.
