Recognition notes
The FLE-17 is a 20-ton striker that fights close in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a sprint speed of 130 km/h when its MASC is engaged. Where the 3049 rebuild's 2501 ancestor carried twin small lasers and a large laser in the arms, this variant places a medium pulse laser in each arm and moves a small laser to each torso in a rear-facing mount. The flamer sits in the center torso rather than facing rearward as on the original, and endo steel internal structure replaces the standard structure of the FLE-4. It keeps the same minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and easily-serviced layout, and is built by Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. at Asuncion, among other sites.
