Recognition notes
The Matador is a 60-ton juggernaut built for close-in brawling, cruising at a sluggish 43 km/h and topping out near 65, slow even for its weight class. Its left arm alone carries three Medium Pulse Lasers and two Machine Guns, with two more Machine Guns in the right arm, and the left torso adds a pair of ER Medium Lasers. A Streak SRM 6 sits in the right torso, twin Small Pulse Lasers fill the center torso, and a Streak SRM 4 is mounted in the head. Both arms carry reinforced battle fists, and the design runs 12 double heat sinks with standard armor. Novy Minsky Armaments Plant builds it at New Kent on Celebes.
