Iron Cheetah B

The Iron Cheetah B is a 100-ton assault built for close-in juggernaut work, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a 120-metre jumping capability the Prime configuration lacks. Where the Prime carries twin ER PPCs and an LRM 15 in the left arm alongside a Gauss rifle and paired medium pulse lasers in the right, this configuration fills both arms with a Large Pulse Laser and three Medium Pulse Lasers each, trading the Prime's long-range punch for a saturation of short-range fire. An ER Small Laser sits in the center torso rather than the Prime's rear-facing mount, and the Anti-Missile System and Artemis IV fire-control system are absent; a targeting computer occupies the left torso instead. Heat-sink count climbs to 18 double from the Prime's 16. Phan Industriplex builds the type at its Huntress plant, with additional production at Manufacturing Plant SFF-IT5.
