Mech Show Spotlight - Ammoknight

Myco's signature Ammonite is one which he uses to showcase all of his previous experience and ability gained from modifying Hoplites back when he was in Morgana.  Unlike his Sever or Smilodon, this cold hearted killing machine of a mecha is about as robotic as you can get and has no pretenses at trying to be animal-like.

Although the standard Ammonite has been geared towards favoring projectile-type weapons, that wasn't good enough for mycobacter.  He re-engineered his Ammonite from the ground up to be strongest with missiles. It features twin pop out Goliath Racks housed in the shoulders and a rare chest mounted Cloud of Doom launcher obtained from a KOTM match. The chassis is optimized using reactive-joints.  Where it really stands out though is the cockpit.  Targeting is done using a hybrid integrated digital/analog high precision pilot interface that has a SMASH 8 display screen, Ballistica Computer and Betrus processor combo. Under the hood is a quantum physicist's dream.  AmmoKnight is powered by both a Caged Singularity and an Indefinite Singularity which are in turn maintained by a Phoenix Engine.

A recent extermination assignment he and Drake Novum Scientist went on cleaning up some of their technology which had run amok inspired mycobacter to work on a loadout based on quick and variable-threat response for offense with well-rounded shielding for defense.  The standard Rail Guns and Cannons have been replaced with quad Ferrite Storm Guns, a Fist of Fury, and Le Royal Boom.  The chassis is rounded out with a Coolant System and Magnetic Connectors.  This is a mecha ideal for disposing of mutant infestations.  Quad Envelopers slow down the targets, leaving them wide-open to get sprayed by the Cloud of Doom, which is then detonated using an Assault Plasma located on each arm.
