Recognition notes
The Quickdraw QKD-C is a 60-ton heavy skirmisher, a 3053 field rework of the 2779 QKD-4G. Where the QKD-4G carries an LRM 10 in the left torso and two rear-facing medium lasers in the right torso, the QKD-C drops the LRM 10 for two medium lasers in the left torso and keeps only one rear-facing medium laser in the right torso, alongside the medium lasers already in each arm and the SRM 4 in the center torso. A C3 slave unit sits in the right torso, and ferro-fibrous armor replaces the QKD-4G's standard plating while the heat-sink fit grows from 13 single to 17 double sinks. Cruising speed holds at 54 km/h with a top speed of 86 and a 150-meter jump, and the arms retain their hyper-extending actuators. Field refit shops build the conversion at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
