Recognition notes
The HBK-5N is a 50-ton juggernaut that closes to point-blank range and lets its AC/20 in the right torso settle matters, backed by a Medium Laser in each arm and a Small Laser in the head. This is a 3057 field refit of the 2572 HBK-4G, carrying the same weapons and the same 200 fusion engine at 43 km/h cruising and 65 km/h flat out, but swapping in 13 double heat sinks in place of the original single heat sinks. Standard armor and standard internal structure carry over unchanged, as do the reinforced battle fists on both arms. As a field refit it is assembled at various sites rather than a dedicated production line.
