Before installation of equipment they have of course Fire Damage bonuses, a built in dodge, Fork ability, X2 Damage capability, Fire, Laser, and Projectile Shields to various extents, Crit-Kill, and finally Auto repair. That's what is in em once you level them minus your equipment which admittedly is a strong selling point. Seeing as these mechas are in the 90 ton range they are safe from the rather abysmal equipment on hand that the higher tonnages have to deal with. Use this to your advantage and load them up with good non wonky equipment and it'll treat you very well on the battle field.
As you can see this is a fire specialist mecha, even though you can tool yours out for whatever weapons you choose its main focus is fire weapons. I own a couple of these and honestly they bring some serious fire power to a fight (no pun intended). There are plenty of Fire weapons on hand to choose from or outfit them to give them a secondary weapon bonus. Both of mine pack a secondary ability of excess Laser Damage. Granted it is nowhere near as high as the Flame damage bonuses from the mecha and levels. It is however nice to know there is a fall back should you get in a pinch and need different weapons or a new approach.
For their size and tonnage they are fairly mobile which is surprising. Their expansion slots make it so you can really modify one out to your personal preferences without much of a problem (both mine have 5 slots across the board for everything Cockpit, Chassis, Engine, and Shield at level 110) So this machine is built with customization in mind. Really once you load one up with the right fire weapons, get it going with good equipment, and hit the battles it will pay for itself many times over with victories and rewards from fights. Do I even need to say how perfect these are for Fire and Ice tourneys? So if you can afford it or if you manage to win one keep it, deck it out and burn the Galaxy down.
