Recognition notes
The Karhu (Syngman) is a 65-ton heavy skirmisher, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER PPC in the left arm, this configuration carries a Heavy PPC in the same location, and the ER Medium Laser carries over in the left arm as well. In place of the Prime's Plasma Cannon, the right arm fields a Plasma Rifle, and the Retractable Blade carries over in the right arm. This configuration does not mount jump jets, where the Prime configuration carries a 210-metre jump capability, and it runs 15 Clan double heat sinks against the Prime's 12. It is a field refit, built at various sites rather than a single factory.
