Vulcan VT-5S

The VT-5S is a 40-ton striker, a 3050 rework of the 2777 VL-2T that shifts the chassis from scouting duty toward closer, harder-hitting fighting. In place of the AC/2 in the right torso it carries an Ultra AC/5, while the Medium Laser in the left torso and the Flamer and Machine Gun in the right and left arms carry over from the VL-2T. A lighter 240 XL fusion engine holds cruising speed at 65 km/h and top speed at 97, and MASC in the left torso lets it sprint to 130 km/h when engaged; a jump of 180 metres remains available. Ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard plating of the original, and CASE lines the right torso alongside the Ultra AC/5's ammunition. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette, and Coventry Metal Works builds it at Coventry.
