The 85 ton Terror Crane resembles its predecessor,the Dreadnought, and uses a revolutionary design delivering the awesome firepower of a projectile armed mecha with the extended battlefield fight time gained using heavy lasers. By sacrificing armour, more shield generators can be installed for superior shielding. The Terror Crane is designed to withstand the laser, flame, and ice weapons of the best front-line mechas, with the heavy projectile weapons on the Crane ripping holes in enemy lines while the extended lasers play havoc on the enemies weaknesses. The Star Factories address the loss of speed and agility in the heavy Dreadnought and give the Terror crane cantilevered legs with ultra joint actuators to cut down the large target profile of the larger mechs. the low slung profile lets the Crane carry less armor and more shielding and increase speed dramatically.
By using the reverse canted bird style legs to give matchless stability, recoil compensation, and a low targeting profile similar to four legged mechs along with an Atlas Jumpjet (upgraded Midori boots), an upgrade available after lvl 50, the potential of advanced speed and superior battlefield maneuvers makes this one of the swiftest heavies on the battlefield.
The Terror Crane uses one articulated arm as a heavy laser and projectile platform with a medium compact turret shoulder mount for medium lasers. Its torso boasts a Cherenkov Ray and boosted shielding, giving unprecedented protection. The Crane still utilizes two weapon bays, recoil compensator, and massive coolant systems, all protected by armor baffles.
A benefit of this system is space optimization, allowing for more upgrades to weapons, cockpit, engine and chassis system far earlier than most other less efficient designs. The Terror Crane is designed to use its speed and overwhelming firepower to seek out and destroy the enemy. Able to handle the heaviest recoil of today's big bore projectile weapons, the Terror Cranes two main heavy weapons systems bays utilize the old hydraulic recoil systems, allowing the cannons the ability to alternate fire by recoil to increase speed and stability of its main guns.
The Terror Crane,is a combined weapons system using big gun design, along with formidable heavy laser systems. futuristic recoil compensator, stabilized weapons platforms, and advanced coolant systems allow the Terror Crane to fire the largest cannons on the move with the precision other mechas rarely achieve and the long distance abilty of the lasers makes the Terror Crane very formidable.
