Review -   It looked odd, no two ways about it. The color scheme was quite gaudy in comparison to other mecha and frankly first impression I can sum up in one word…Hideous.  Then I took it for a test drive, and I have to say color scheme be damned this mecha is incredible! Most would pass this mecha up due to the fact that it has some “flaws” in the form of fire and missile vulnerabilities. That really isn’t a problem in the field seeing as one of these ugly little beauties will usually put down a volley of laser and flame before a missile ever leaves the tube to hit it.

These are fast, precise, dangerous killing machines. They slowly build up momentum and unleash a volley of hell all at once. The pay offs are obvious when many smoldering mecha lay defeated by one superb specimen.

This mecha shines no matter what position it is put in. The built in fork ability while starting off small and insubstantial, gradually increases to a very formidable ability. The emphasis on laser damage alone makes this a winning mecha, but it also adds flame damage bonuses and has nice shielding. At first glance this mecha with its color scheme and built in flaws seems like an obvious pass, but given time and proper upgrades this particular model can rock the battle field like few others. This is a mecha to invest in and make no mistakes something like this is a solid investment.
