Recognition notes
The UM-R96 is a 30-ton ambusher, a 3149 rebuild of the 2675 UM-R60 original. Where the UM-R60 carried an AC/10 in the right arm, the UM-R96 mounts a Snub-Nose PPC there, and its Small Laser in the left arm gives way to a Small X-Pulse Laser. Hardened armor replaces the base model's standard plating, and double heat sinks stand in for the UM-R60's single sinks, though the count drops from 11 to 10. Jump range extends from 60 to 90 metres, while the cruising speed of 22 km/h and top speed of 32 km/h carry over unchanged. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands, and Hellespont Industrials builds it at Betelgeuse.
