Recognition notes
The Iron Cheetah L is a 100-ton assault that fights close in, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a supercharger pushing it to a sprint speed of 86 km/h when engaged. Where the Prime configuration mounts twin ER PPCs and an LRM 15 in the left arm, this configuration carries four Improved Heavy Medium Lasers in that same location. In place of the Prime's Gauss rifle and paired medium pulse lasers in the right arm, the L carries a HAG/40 in the right torso, a Large Pulse Laser in the left torso, and two Medium Pulse Lasers in the left torso set to fire rearward. CASE II lines both the left arm and the right torso, and a light active probe sits in the left torso. It carries 17 double heat sinks where the Prime configuration carries 16. Phan Industriplex builds it at Huntress, with production also carried out elsewhere.
