Recognition notes
The Masauwu is a 75-ton brawler that closes to short range behind twin large pulse lasers in the left arm and an LB 10-X AC in the right. A pair of Streak SRM 2 launchers, one in each side torso, backs up the close-in punch, and an ER small laser sits in the center torso alongside an anti-missile system in the right torso. An ECM suite rides in the center torso as well, and the endo steel frame runs on a 300 XL fusion engine, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump capability of 120 metres. Its recognition features include a rugged, field-serviceable frame that is easily maintained in the field. Coyote Industrial builds the type at its Babylon plant on Abyssinia.
