Recognition notes
The Sphinx 2 is a 75-ton skirmisher, a 3080 rebuild of the 3078 original. Where the base Sphinx carries a single ER Large Laser in each arm, this version leaves the arms bare and moves a pair of ER Large Lasers into the Center Torso. In place of the four ER Medium Lasers packed into each torso, it fields five ER Small Lasers in the Left Torso and five more in the Right Torso. MASC in the Left Torso lets it sprint to 108 km/h when engaged, and a targeting computer sits in the Right Torso, additions the original does not carry. The heat-sink count drops from 23 to 22 double sinks. LAW-Avon Alpha builds it at Avon.
