Recognition Notes
The Firestarter FS9-M4 is a 35-ton scout that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a single jump carrying it 180 metres. A Rotary AC/2 sits in the left arm, while the right arm carries three Flamers together. The 210 XL fusion engine and endo steel structure keep the frame light, and 10 double heat sinks handle the flamer battery's heat. Coventry Metal Works builds the type at Coventry.
