Knight Bios
One night while playing a chess match Spike Shepard picked up his knight ready to move the piece but instead he just looked at it and remarked 'We have a Rook, we have a Bishop...but we don't have a Knight'. Initially some of Clan heroes looked at him a little strange until he grabbed a pencil and some paper and started sketching. About 30 minutes later after much Hmming, Tutting and a few head shakes Spike finally shouted 'Eureka!' and waved his sketch in the air. The Knight had been born, on paper, though the building of the Knight would be a different matter altogether.....
The quadrupedal design of the mech encountered many problems and Shepard struggled to get the Mech to stand, let alone move around with any co-ordination. The mech was almost scrapped at one point until the day that Shepard took out a Keradon for a ride and realized that the poly pedal design could be adapted and enlarged to drive this giant mech forward. With a few tweaks and a bit of research the poly pedal design was modified and adapted to drive a mech almost three times the size of the Keradon. Within a few months Clan Heroes had a fully working prototype and put in through rigorous testing.
Surprisingly a mech of this size was not made for the front lines of combat. The qudrupedal design allows for the Knight to carry heavier, longer range weapons and lots of them. Not only that but the Knight has been built to be prolific with every type and size of weapon available. Leaving the Knight to be best used as long range artillery or heavy support for smaller, faster front line mecha.
The Knight though is not just for support or long range assaults. It can hold it's own in close combat if need be and has built in shields allowing it to help negate damage that would cripple or shutdown lighter mech. Also the quadrupedal design gives the Knight a boost to speed that is missing in other mecha of similar tonnage. This ability helps the Knight stay in a sustained battle meaning the Knight is not easily overrun but multiple opponents either. All round the Knight is a great addition to any commanders line-up and used wisely it can turn the tide of a battle.
