Recognition notes
The GRF-5L is a 55-ton skirmisher, lighter than the 60-ton GRF-1A it descends from and built around a 275 XL fusion engine in place of the original's 290 fusion plant; cruising speed rises from 43 km/h to 54, with a top speed of 86 km/h against the earlier machine's 65. Where the GRF-1A carried a Primitive Prototype PPC in the right arm and an LRM 5 in the right torso, the GRF-5L fields a trio of Medium Lasers in the left arm, a Plasma Rifle in the right arm, and an MML 5 in the left torso. A Guardian ECM suite sits in the right torso, an addition absent from the original loadout, and stealth armor replaces the primitive plating of the GRF-1A. Both arms carry reinforced battle fists, one arm weapon is jettisonable, and the frame is built rugged and field-serviceable.
