Shadow Hawk SHD-5R

The SHD-5R rebuilds the Shadow Hawk as a 55-ton missile boat fighting at long range, five tons heavier than the 50-ton SHD-1R sniper it replaces on the line. Where the SHD-1R carried a Medium Laser and an AC/5, this configuration swaps in an ER Medium Laser in the right arm and a Light AC/5 in the left torso, then packs the right torso with five Thunderbolt 5 launchers and adds a Streak SRM 2 in the head. A lighter 220 XL fusion engine and endo steel structure replace the SHD-1R's 240 fusion engine and standard internal frame, and standard armor plating takes the place of the earlier primitive armor while cruising and top speeds hold at 43 and 65 km/h. CASE now lines the left torso, and the ten double heat sinks stand in for the SHD-1R's ten singles. It keeps the reinforced battle fists on both arms and the rugged, field-serviceable frame, and it is turned out as a field refit rather than a factory build, assembled at various depots.
