Recognition notes
The Kraken (Bane) 4 is a 100-ton juggernaut that fights close-in, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54. Where the original Kraken (Bane) filled each arm with five Ultra AC/2s for stand-off sniping, this configuration replaces them with a single Ultra AC/20 per arm. The four machine guns in the right torso give way to an ER Large Laser and a pair of ATM 6 launchers in that location, with a third ATM 6 in the left torso. The heat-sink count rises from 10 double to 17 double to cope with the heavier close-range battery. Olivetti Weaponry builds the type, with production also carried out by Tokasha Mechworks Alpha.
