Recognition notes
The Thresher 2 is a 60-ton skirmisher, a 2858 reworking of the 2849 Thresher that trades reach for punch in different places across its arms and torso. Where the original mounted a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm, this variant carries an ER Large Laser in the Left Arm and another ER Large Laser in the Right Arm, each paired with an SRM 6 as before. The Right Torso swaps the Ultra AC/10 for an LB 5-X AC, while the ER Medium Laser in the Left Torso carries over unchanged. It still runs on the 300 XL fusion engine with MASC in the Left Torso, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86, with a sprint speed of 108 km/h under MASC and a jump range of 150 metres. Manufacturing Plant DSF-51 builds it at Strato Domingo.
