Marauder II MAD-5C

The MAD-5C is a 100-ton assault refit of the 3012 MAD-4A, shifted from juggernaut duty to a sniper's role at long range. Where the MAD-4A carried a plain PPC in each arm, this variant mounts an ER PPC in the left arm and another in the right, each paired with a medium laser as before, and an Ultra AC/5 in the right torso replaces the base model's large laser. A lighter 300 XL fusion engine now drives the airframe, and CASE has been added to the right torso to contain any ammunition explosion; the heat-sink count rises from 29 to 32 single sinks. Cruising and top speed hold at 32 and 54 km/h, unchanged from the original, and the type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and hyper-extending arm actuators as a command 'Mech. It is fielded as a field refit, assembled at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
