pg159 in my copy, probably because mine's a later edition and missing all the designs they nicked pics for from Robotech/Macross. And where precisely are the LRM-15s? I think the variants are 4 medium lasers, 2 LRM-5, AC/5, 1 ER large laser.

And on the next page, depending on the edition, is the Thug. Equal in all respects except:-
a) it has double heatsinks
b) “The Thug isn’t superior in every way.”
“Hey!”
“It’ll never be taller than the Hatamoto-Chi is.”
