Tai-sho TSH-8S

The Tai-sho TSH-8S is an 85-ton assault that fights at long range, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out at 54. Where the TSH-7S mounted twin ER PPCs, this variant carries a Heavy PPC in each arm, and the Ultra AC/10 remains in the right torso with CASE alongside it in that same location. In place of the base model's C3 master computer, the TSH-8S carries a C3 slave unit in the left torso, tying it into a network led by another unit's master computer rather than anchoring one itself. It retains its enhanced communications gear, and Blankenburg Technologies builds it at Soul.
