Recognition Notes
The MLN-1B is a 3064 rebuild of the 3010 MLN-1A, a 60-ton heavy shifted from brawler to skirmisher duty. Where the MLN-1A carried a flamer, a machine gun, an LRM 5, and a PPC across its torsos, this variant fields an SRM 4 in the left torso and a Large Laser in the right torso. The medium lasers in each arm carry over unchanged, and the 240 fusion engine holds the same cruising and top speeds of 43 and 65 km/h. Heat-sink count rises from 18 to 20 single sinks, and the frame keeps its rugged, field-serviceable construction and easily-serviced layout. Mountain Wolf BattleMechs builds it at Alpheratz.
