Phoenix PX-4R

The Phoenix PX-4R is a 50-ton medium that trades the PX-1R's close brawling for a stand-off role, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, faster on a 250 fusion engine than the 240 that drove the 2474 original. Where the PX-1R fought at close range with a PPC in the right arm, the PX-4R carries an AC/10 in the same location, and its single SRM 2 in the left torso replaces the pair the original mounted there. The jump range grows from 90 to 150 metres, and standard armor now covers the frame in place of the primitive plating the PX-1R wore, though the heat-sink count falls from 12 to 10. Diplass BattleMechs builds the type at its Apollo works, alongside Krauss-Liemann Incorporated's Wotan line.
