Hankyu (Arctic Cheetah) E

The Hankyu (Arctic Cheetah) E is a 30-ton striker built for close-in fighting, cruising at 86 km/h and topping out at 130, with a 180-metre jump capability. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER Medium Laser and an LRM 5 in each arm, this configuration replaces both with a trio of Light Machine Guns backed by a Light Machine Gun Array, one set per arm. The left torso trades the Prime's TAG and ECM suite for a Medium Pulse Laser, a Flamer, and a pair of Anti-BattleArmor Pods, while the right torso swaps the Prime's Flamer and active probe for a Medium Pulse Laser and its own set of Anti-BattleArmor Pods. The chassis keeps its 240 XL fusion engine, endo steel structure, and ferro-fibrous armor plating. Foster MechWorks Facility Beta builds the type at its Foster plant, with production also carried out by other manufacturers at additional sites.
