Vanquisher VQR-5V

The VQR-5V is a 100-ton assault built as a juggernaut, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54, the same modest pace as the 3063 VQR-2A sniper it derives from. Where the VQR-2A mounted twin Light Gauss Rifles in the arms, this variant carries an ER Large Laser in each arm instead, and its right torso holds a Heavy Gauss Rifle in place of the earlier model's ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser pairing. An ER Medium Laser remains in the center torso and another in the head, and a B-Pod sits in each leg. The compact fusion engine frees internal space compared to the VQR-2A's standard fusion plant, though the heat-sink count drops from 16 double to 12 double, and ferro-fibrous armor replaces the earlier standard plating. The C3i computer in the center torso carries over from the VQR-2A, and the type keeps its minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands and its stable firing platform stance. Skobel Mechworks builds the VQR-5V at its Terra plant.
