Recognition notes
The PXH-1b "Special" is a 45-ton skirmisher, a 2760 rework of the 2568 PXH-1 that keeps the chassis's speed profile at 65 km/h cruising and 97 km/h flat out, with a 180-metre jump capability intact. Where the PXH-1 mounts a Large Laser in the right arm, this variant swaps in an ER PPC, and it adds an ER Large Laser in the right torso alongside the carried-over medium laser and machine gun pairing in each arm. An endo steel structure and a 270 XL fusion engine replace the standard structure and engine of the original, and the heat sinks change from single to double. CASE lines the left torso and a Guardian ECM suite sits in the center torso, neither present on the PXH-1. The design keeps its command 'Mech status, its jettisonable arm weapon, and its enhanced communications gear, and Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds it at its Keystone plant.
