Recognition notes
The HBK-4N is a 50-ton brawler, a 2920 rebuild of the 2572 HBK-4G that traded the original's close-in punch for a mixed-range battery. In place of the AC/20 in the right torso it carries an AC/5, and that torso also gains a pair of medium lasers and twin LRM 5 racks alongside it. The medium lasers in the left arm and right arm carry over from the HBK-4G, as does the small laser in the head. Cruising speed holds at 43 km/h with a top speed near 65, and both arms still carry reinforced battle fists. KaliYama Weapons Industries builds it at Kalidasa.
