Recognition notes
The VT-6M is a 40-ton striker, a 3069 rebuild of the 2777-era VL-2T that reworks the Vulcan around a longer reach. Where the VL-2T carried a Medium Laser in the left torso, the VT-6M mounts an ER Medium Laser in the same location, and its right torso trades the AC/2 for a Light Gauss Rifle. The Machine Gun in the left arm and the Flamer in the right arm carry over from the original. A 240 XL fusion engine and endo steel structure hold cruising speed at 65 km/h and top speed at 97, with the same 180-metre jump capability, while light ferro-fibrous armor replaces the VL-2T's standard plating and ten double heat sinks replace its ten single sinks. The type keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette. Nimakachi Fusion Products Ltd. builds it at Tematagi.
