Recognition notes
The Sha Yu (Bulldog) is a 40-ton medium reworked from the SYU-2B sniper into a striker configuration. Where the SYU-2B carried ER Large Lasers in both arms and ER Medium Lasers in each torso alongside a head-mounted TAG, the Bulldog swaps in a Large Laser in the left arm and another in the right arm, with a Medium Laser in the left torso and another in the right torso, and drops the TAG entirely. The Guardian ECM suite in the center torso carries over, and the machine still cruises at 76 km/h and tops out near 119. Heat sinks fall from 13 to 12 double units, and stealth armor and enhanced communications gear remain part of the package. Hellespont 'Mech Works builds it at Sian.
