A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

When word of the Nebelwerfer's existence reached the leaders of

the secret alliance, they immediately gave orders to their scien-

tists and engineers to devise a countermeasure to the threat that

it posed. What the design team eventually came up with was the

mecha they codenamed the Ultra Ranger:

Standing 66'7" tall, the Ultra Ranger is designed to go toe-to-toe

with other giant war machines, and is armed for both long-range

and close-quarters combat. "Professor Grey" and the design team

opted not to install weaponry which would require complicated re-

loading systems and ammunition; this allowed them to install a

number of shield generators throughout the chassis of the mecha,

giving it, in effect, an additional layer of "armor" protection. Its

weapons consist of the following:

 

Heavy pulse laser cannon: This weapon, which the Ultra Ranger

uses in the same way that a soldier does a rifle, can fire pulses

of coherent, destructive light at a cyclic rate of 600 r.p.m.; the

design team had initially wanted to give the unit a particle-beam

weapon, but "Professor Grey" persuaded them of the impracticality

of using such a weapon in the atmosphere of a planet.

 

Energy swords: There are two of these weapons carried by the Ultra

Ranger; a primary weapon, and a secondary which can be used in

the event of the primary suffering damage or destruction. When not

in use, the swords are housed in special fittings at the level of and

behind the shoulders of the unit.

 

The Ultra Ranger is equipped with a contragravity flight system which

is powerful enough to allow the unit to achieve escape velocity, and

operate in space; attitude control jets allow the unit's operator to man-

euver in space in much the same way that astronauts do in their ships.

The unit is controlled by means of both a neural-interface system in

the operator's helmet, and a set of conventional joystick-type controls.

 

As with the illustration of the Nebelwerfer, a human silhouette has been

provided to show the comparision in size.
