Recognition notes
The SHD-2H is a 55-ton skirmisher, a heavier rebuild of the 2467 SHD-1R sniper variant that arrives in 2550 with five additional tons of chassis. A 275 fusion engine replaces the 240, lifting cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h, while standard armor replaces the primitive plating of the original. The Medium Laser in the right arm and the AC/5 in the left torso carry over, and the design adds an LRM 5 in the right torso and an SRM 2 in the head. Heat sink count rises from 10 to 12 single sinks, and the frame keeps its reinforced battle fists on both arms and its rugged, field-serviceable build. Earthwerks-FWL Inc. builds it at Calloway VI, among other sites.
