Recognition notes
The QKD-5M is a 60-ton skirmisher, a 3049 rework of the 2779 QKD-4G, built on the same 300 fusion engine and unchanged cruising speed of 54 km/h and top speed of 86, with a jump range of 150 metres. It carries the same medium lasers in the left arm, right arm, and rear-facing right torso mount, along with an LRM 10 in the left torso, but the center torso's SRM 4 becomes a one-shot SRM 4. Ferro-fibrous plating replaces the QKD-4G's standard armor, and the 13 heat sinks are now double rather than single. The hyper-extending arm actuators carry over from the earlier model, and Technicron Manufacturing builds it at Savannah, Shiro III.
