Okay, a friend helped with the translation of the stats from a Japanese site(thanks 2NA!). Some bits are sketchy since they were in Kanji, so it'd be prudent to say that these are the unofficial names.
The site no longer exists, so some info on other AS is now unattainable...
Plus, due to the nature of the subject, I guess I'll have to use a different sort of format.
Model: M9 "Gernsback"
Height: 8.4m
Basic Weight: 9.5 tons
Maximum Speed: 280km/h
Max Jump Height: 45m
Energy Source: Palladium Reactor(Cold Fusion Furnace)
Ross and Humbleton APR2500a
Fixed Armaments: AM-11 12.7mm Chaingun
XM18 Wiregun
Optional Armaments: Elicon Travis GEC-B40mm Rifle
Bofors ASG96-b57mm smoothbore gun
Hughes VGM-A2 "Versailles II" multiple-target missile
Raytheon/General Electric "Javelin" high-speed missile
Royal Ordnance M110 ATD(Anti Tank Dagger)
Geotron Electronics GRAW-2 mono-molecular Cutter
Special Notes:
- the newest 3rd generation Arm Slave, Mithril's main AS. The American army is developing the same type of robot series, but Mithril's technology is 10 years ahead and already in practical use.
- it has twice the number of systems as a 2nd generation AS( the M6 Bushnell?) and thus much more human-like in structure and movement, in which it can now perform manouvres the old machines simply cannot manage
- the Palladium Reactor is unique to the 3rd generation Arm Slave, and combined with the Electromagnetic Cloaking System(ECS), it elevates the stealth ability of the AS to such a high level that it can even be used for spy missions, though if discovered and forced to fight, ECS can no longer be assumed since energy consumption will be much greater during combat
- The ATD is coated with explosives which pierces the enemy and destroys it. It is an effective attack method for AS as it doesn't use rocket motors and thus is undetectable by heat tracers
- Variations of the M9 include the E series used by Mao, which uses ECCS(Electromagnetic Cloaking Counter System) and a custom katana-sized GRAW-2 mono-molecular cutter, the experimental C series that eventually was developed into the ARX-7 "Arbalest", and a D series in which two machines were customised by Europe's Geotron Electronics Industries, producing the machine "Falke"", used by Wurz 1 of Mithril's SRT members, Lieutenant Belfangan Clouzot. (not sure about this one... any info?)
- for inland movement, emergency boosters are equipped and the M9 is launched by catapult. The boosters are ejected at the destination, and strategic manouvres commences. Thus, the Tuatha De Danaan can remain on standby without it's position being given away
Help me by adding or correcting!
