Name and Designation: RZ-046-B Glow Fox ; Martian All-Purpose Defense Weapon
Type: Quadrupedal Power-type Mech
Purpose: Designed to be able to combat kaiju and human enemies alike on the harsh terrain of Mars.
Dimensions:
HT: 20 meters
Width: 10 meters
Length: 42 meters
WT: 46,000 tons
Speed: 700 kph(360 mph), 920 kph(470 mph) with boosters
Description:
Armor: Titanium plating
Armaments:
Twin 80mm Cannons
Mounted on the Glow Fox's back, these cannons are it's primary source of firepower. Capable of firing semi-automatically, and pivoting 90 degrees in either direction, as well as 10 degrees either up or down, it's a very respectable weapon for the Glow Fox. In addition, the boosters for the Glow Fox are located in the rear of these 80mm cannons. While it is possible to fire the boosters when the cannons are rotated a full 90 degrees, it's not a very smart idea; the thrust kickback would likely knock the Fox over on it's side, and might even break the cannon barrels
AZ70mm Electromagnetic Net Gun
Mounted to the Glow Fox's tail, this fires an electromagnetically charged net that is capable of entrapping and shocking any enemy it hits. Any target tagged with a direct hit will be stunned for 5-8 seconds, and it will take 2-3 for it to free itself from the net. The net isn't nearly so effective against a shield; the shocking effect will reduce the shield's power, but it won't bring it down. The net gun is most effective if fired at an opponent who's relatively close (within 150 meters). It can be used against an opponent who's further away, but the accuracy drops rapidly once it's past that 150 meter mark.
Hardened Alloy Claws and Teeth
The most basic of all Mech Weaponry. Used for up-close-and-personal combat, in the dirtiest, most feral type of combat known. Good for ripping and shredding away all of your opponent's unwanted armor.
Equipment:
Strike Laser Claw
When used, both front claws blaze with laser energy, giving the already strong front claws tremendous cutting power. Once charged, which doesn't take very long, feel free to take a swipe at whatever troubles you. The SLC is also quite strong against most energy shields, even capable of penetrating them completely if pressure is applied for several seconds.
Smokescreen Generators
Mounted to the top of each leg is a series of small vents which pour smoke out all around the Glow Fox. This can serve as an excellent source of cover when trying to sneak around your opponent, but it carries it's own set of problems. Most notably, the smoke can quickly be dissipated by rapid movement through the cloud, and booster use will do so even more rapidly. The Glow Fox is still suseptible to heat tracking and muzzle flashes, even while inside a smoke cloud.
Multi-Sensor
The Glow Fox possesses unrivaled scanning equipment. The multi-sensor allows the Mech to detect literally everything within 15 kilometers. By uplinking with satellites in orbit, and listening in on broadcasting comm traffic, not to mention linking with transporter ships and even scanning for the registration codes of enemy Mechs themselves, the Glow Fox is able to find any enemy, no matter how well-hidden. Unfortunately, the multi-sensor data can't be transmitted to teammates, but it's a small price to pay.
Production History: he Martian Republic had never had the problem of kaiju threat. but the threat of Space Kaiju is ever present. So they built a weapon. then they built a new weapon. "They screwed up!" That was the generally agreed-upon conclusion about the Shadow Fox. After firing the original team of engineers who worked on the Shadow Fox, a newer team took a much more in-depth look at the Shadow Fox, and analyzed the faults of the Shadow Fox, thus eventually creating the Glow Fox. they went a step further, reinforcing the leg joints and stabilizers to allow it to run a full 20 km/h faster than the Shadow Fox ever could, not to mention slightly improved maneuverabilty over said Mech. It was determined that when making a Mech, having a longer-range weapon was important, so the chain gun was completely dropped, and a modified Attack Unit was used to replace it. The primary alterations to the Attack Unit were that the advanced targeting equipment mounted to the AU was removed, and a booster was cleverly hidden in the rear of each cannon; neither booster is particularly big, but they're decent nonetheless. The rear of the cannon actually opens up to allow the booster thrust to escape, so it's very hard to actually hit the boosters, even when they're activated. Speaking of which, the boosters add 30 km/h of thrust to the Glow Fox, meaning that it can run at 310 km/h without them. Not bad, at all. The Martian goverment is positive they should have gone this route after the abysmall failure of the Shadow Fox.
Pass: You make me feel like hips.
