Original by xxscorps. Since this faction is no longer around, this app is now OPEN. Name of Aug/Tech: ScorpTec Generation 1 Mechs. Description: Generation one of ScorpTec's mechs were very Square. Have one 250mm Cannon, a small MG, a raised cockpit, no arms, Two legs in a humanoid design. A very basic. (Very, it looks quite a bit better than this on my good days) Idea of the look of the mech: The mech comes to just above 7 Full grown adults high. History of Aug/Tech : Scorptec Designed these mechs all the way back in the late 2000's, and only now have been able to put these designs into production. These are believed to be the First generation of Scorptec mechs due to crossreferencing between later models. New ScorpTec has refined these designs with newer materials and more powerful Servoes. It is rumored that these mechs were designed to fight an Alien threat, but this is heavily Disputed. How does it work?: The Mech consists of a Large metal box., and a raised cockpit, Inside the box is a large powerful Gyroscope for stability, and a few batteries, however the main powerhouse is located where the two legs are - A large engine that provide power to the legs via an Alternator. The user and its crew of engineers can get into the compartment via a hatch. The Top mount turns also due to power of the Engine. The 250mm Cannon is autoloaded in 5 seconds and has 100 shells, but is old cannon design. Like seen on Abrams Tanks, only higher caliber. Surprisingly the Generation one series has mounts for AI. The machine gun is Extremely similar to a Browning machine gun. Only it uses slightly better ammunition. An EMP Failsafe that restarts systems if a power surge is detected. Intended use: This was obviously made for Waging war. Protecting bases. Etc. Strengths: The armour is Good, 150mm of Durasteel on most areas except the top, and parts of the back, which only have 90mm. Strong Cannon and adequate defence from infantry. More mobile than Tanks on terrain. Emp Failsafe that restarts the system. Weaknesses: Early series did not have Ball joints. The mech cannot strafe or turn as naturally as a Generation 2. or a human. Shutting down the engine is shutting down the movement, leaving it vulnerable, this mech cannot bunker down when immobile unlike newer generations. Bad leg design compared to later models. Shooting off a knee on this thing is easy with a tank. The only slanting on this thing is found on the front of the Engine Mount, and the back of the cockpit. With no engine, the top mount turns in about 20 seconds, full 360, compared to the 3 seconds with an engine. EMP Failsafe takes 20 seconds to restart all systems, the mech cannot move. Slower than average Tanks. (30-ish MPH on full Speed.) Attainability: Semi-Open, With adequate relation with ScorpTec, you can acquire one Tags: [Military] How do you believe this will assist in benefiting roleplay?: The UDO needs a main attack force, this will be it's current one. It got a pass, ScorpTec may also refer to the UDO now, they are one and the same.
