Recognition notes
The MS1-OG configures the Men Shen for scouting where the MS1-O base fought as a striker, and both loadouts favor close-in fighting. In place of the base configuration's four Medium Pulse Lasers split across both arms, this configuration carries a pair of Medium X-Pulse Lasers in the left arm alone, and a TSEMP Cannon takes the right arm where the base mounts none. The single LRM 15 and its Artemis IV fire-control system in the right torso are absent here, replaced by a Streak SRM 4 in each torso. The MASC in the left torso and the Beagle active probe in the center torso carry over from the base configuration, and enhanced communications gear remains a recognition feature of the type. Hellespont 'Mech Works builds it at Sian.
