Zeus-X ZEU-X2

The ZEU-X2 is an 80-ton skirmisher, a 3069 rebuild of the 3054 ZEU-X, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out at 86 on its 400 XXL fusion engine. In place of the LB 20-X AC in the left torso it carries an ER PPC in the left arm, and the right arm's MRM 30 is replaced by an MRM 20. The two Medium X-Pulse Lasers, one in the left torso and one in the center torso, carry over from the ZEU-X, as does the CASE II in the right torso. Heat-sink count rises from 12 double to 18 double, and the composite internal structure and patchwork armor remain part of the design. It is a command 'Mech and a maintenance-intensive machine, built now by the Defiance Manufacturing Annex at Kwangjong-ni rather than Defiance Industries at Hesperus II.
