Recognition Notes
The Violator VT-U3 is a 3098 rebuild of the 3097 VT-U1, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86. Where the VT-U1 carries twin MRM 10 racks in the torsos, the VT-U3 replaces them with an SRM 6 in the left torso and an SRM 6 in the right torso, and adds an LRM 5 in the center torso; the Apollo missile fire-control systems that guided the original's MRM racks are absent from this configuration. CASE remains in the left torso, and the claw in the left arm and mining drill in the right arm carry over unchanged. Like the VT-U1, it is built as an easily-serviced design, and Harmony MetalWorks produces it at Harmony.
