These are supported by two ER Medium Lasers and a [[Streak SRM-6]]. Nineteen double heat sinks are installed to keep things cool. The 'Mech's top speed is increased to 85 km/h by using a huge [[XL engine|400XL]] engine. Shark engineers used Endo Steel and ferro-fibrous armor to maximize weight savings.
