Recognition notes
The Flashman FLS-7K is a 75-ton brawler that closes to short range, a 2796 rebuild of the 2701 FLS-8K skirmisher. Where the FLS-8K carried a Center Torso large laser and an Anti-Missile System in the right torso, the FLS-7K drops both, leaving a Large Laser and Medium Laser in each arm, a Medium Laser in the right torso, and a Medium Laser plus rear-facing Medium Laser in the left torso, with a Flamer still in the head. A 300 fusion engine replaces the 375 XL fusion engine, dropping cruising speed from 54 km/h to 43 km/h and top speed from 86 km/h to 65 km/h, and the heat-sink fit changes from 15 double to 23 single. The frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable build, and Defiance Industries produces it at Hesperus II.
