Recognition notes
The Firestarter FS9-O is a 45-ton striker built around a 270 XL fusion engine, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a 180-metre jump capability. It carries a Large Laser in each arm, backed by a pair of Flamers in the right arm and one more in the Center Torso, plus a rear-facing Flamer covering its back arc. A Beagle active probe sits in the right torso, and the type carries a reinforced head cowl, though its endo steel frame and dense electronics make it a maintenance-intensive design. Coventry Metal Works builds it at Coventry, with production also underway at other sites.
