Recognition notes
The Mechbuster (Laser) is a 50-ton fighter flown in the attack role. Where the base model concentrates its firepower in a single autocannon/20 in the nose, this variant strips that gun out and fits three medium lasers in the nose in its place. Standard armor covers the airframe in both forms, and nine single heat sinks handle the laser variant's waste heat. This configuration is produced as a field refit rather than at a dedicated factory.
