Recognition notes
The Linebacker I is a 65-ton heavy that fights close-in, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out near 97, with a supercharger pushing it to a sprint speed of 130 km/h when engaged. Where the Linebacker Prime skirmishes with an ER PPC in each arm, an LRM 5 in the left torso, and a Streak SRM 4 backed by a rear-facing ER Small Laser in the right torso, this configuration swaps all of that for banks of machine guns: each arm and both torsos carry batteries of them tied into machine-gun arrays, and an ER Large Pulse Laser occupies the right torso. An active probe is fitted in the left torso. The type keeps its stable firing platform, and WC Site 1 builds it at Arc-Royal.
