Recognition notes
The HBK-5H is a 50-ton juggernaut that fights close in, a 3064 rebuild of the 2572 HBK-4G, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. The AC/20 in the right torso and the medium lasers in each arm carry over from the original, but the Small Laser in the head is dropped in favor of three Rocket Launchers 20 racks packed into the left torso, backed by CASE at that location. Ferro-fibrous armor replaces the HBK-4G's standard plating, and the heat-sink count falls from 13 to 10 single. Both arms still carry reinforced battle fists, and Colonial Tractors builds the type at Fronc.
