Recognition notes
The HBK-6S is a 50-ton striker that fights close-in, a 3063 rebuild of the 2572 HBK-4G juggernaut. Where the original ran a 200 fusion engine at 43 km/h cruising and 65 km/h flat out, this version's 300 XL fusion engine and endo steel structure push it to 65 km/h cruising and 97 km/h at full speed. The twin Medium Lasers in each arm give way to twin ER Medium Lasers in the same locations, the head-mounted Small Laser is gone, and the AC/20 that once sat in the right torso is replaced by an LB 20-X AC in the center torso, backed by a new SRM 6 in the left torso. Heat sinks drop from 13 single to 10 double units, and both variants carry reinforced battle fists on both arms.
