A Mecha for review (My first 5th edition Mecha)

JmOz · February 11, 2003

This Mecha is actualy for a supers game, the owner is a character who uses robots to assist her crimefighting endevers, and it is one of two vehicles she owns (the other is a flying fortress type of thing, heavy on the computers, sensors, but not so heavy on combat ability, this is the opposite)

It can divide into five smaller ships (this power is actualy possesed by the vehicle it can Multiform into) that the character and her four Robotic assistants use. It is also not that quick (the smaller ships all have Megascale movement however), the ship is designed as a Nova Power, so its attacks are a little over the top, as is its Defences

For its weapon systems it has two shoulder mounted Rocket Launchers, each with 12 Shots showing, and the ability to reload, further more it carries a sidearm weapon that can switch from projecting a sword like energy beam to a rifle
