Recognition notes
The Linebacker C is a 65-ton skirmisher that fights at medium range, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER PPC in each arm, this configuration carries an ER Large Laser and an ER Medium Laser in the left arm and an Ultra AC/5 in the right arm. In place of the Prime's LRM 5 and Streak SRM 4, it fields two ER Medium Lasers and a rear-facing ER Medium Laser in the left torso, alongside a Machine Gun and a rear-facing Machine Gun plus a rear-facing Flamer in the right torso. It shares the Prime's stable firing platform and its ferro-fibrous armor over an endo steel structure. WC Site 1 builds it at Arc-Royal, with other sites also producing the type.
