Recognition notes
The Linebacker T is a 65-ton heavy skirmisher, cruising at 65 km/h and topping out at 97, an OmniMech configuration built alongside the Prime on the same 390 XL fusion engine and ferro-fibrous armor. Where the Prime mounts an ER PPC in each arm, this configuration carries a Plasma Cannon in the left arm and another in the right arm. The left torso's LRM 5 gives way to a Streak LRM 5, and the ER Small Laser in the right torso rear mounting is replaced by a Flamer. The Streak SRM 4 in the right torso carries over from the Prime, and the design keeps its stable firing platform. WC Site 1 builds it at Arc-Royal, with production also carried out at other sites.
