Description I went up to Vort 9 again. Plink let me have a peek of the new assault mech he and his team are developing. You can think of it as the little brother to the Megadoomer.

---( Translated from Irken - Model 2508 Mech Unit documentation)

Model 2508 Bipedal Mech Unit

Lead designer: Dr. Plink, lead robotics and computer specialist

Mech specs:

Height: 8'6 -minus antenna-

Wieght: 224 tons

Armor: Modified Megadoomer chasis 3 inch thick Liniem plating. 1 inch thick at it's thinnest points.

Speed: 5 MPH running, 2 MPH walking

Power plant: Zenyle power cell engine: reversing rotary transmission system

Weapon system: Yuclogic systems inc.

Weapons:

- 2 Spitile missile launch pods, 3 missiles each (one homing, two concussion.)

- Dual sustained lasers (standard)

- 1 high accuracy rifle laser (good to 2000 yrds.)

- Dual barrelled legacy 30 cal. vulcan cannon (376 RPM)

Mech Details

The M-2508 is a multi purpose military unit scheduled to start mass production in the next 3 months. Approximately half the size of the original Megadoomer models the nicknamed "mini-doomer" has many simularities as well as many differences to it's bigger counter part.

The major loss was the ablity to cloke. This was taken out to minimize manufacturing cost. While the older Megadoomers required a pilot the M-2508 is completely self-guided which is highly customizable. This fact, as well as a relatively low manufacturing cost make these units ideal non-risk scouts. As well as the Megadoomer, the M-2508 contains the exact same self-destruct capabilites which are automatically activated upon severe system damage.

As stated earier, these units are fully automated. Running off modified SIR A.I programming; these mechs are extremely intelligant and adaptive; units can also work with other H-2508s in squads. A single mech can also be tagged as a squad leader, which will automatically handle most tectical situations for the rest of the squad. Regardless, camps can set up portable stations which alow direct Irken control for up to 140 miles if it is so desired.

Besides advanced AI programing, the M-2508 also contains many internal sensors; the sophisticated electronic eye protected by thick bullet proof glass has free horizontal and vertical movement. Light amplifcation abilites allow work at night, while a electronical ear and evironmental monitoring allow an area to be inspected from the safty of an Irken base camp.

Practical uses for the Model-2508

- Automated scouts

- Mechanized Infantry
(support for Megadoomer patrols and foot soldiers)

I believe it says in the description that they run off of similar SIR programming, yes.

Plink: Alright then, looks like you'll be receiving the first shipment of M-2508s, A single unit will be $5,3300 that's not including ammo supplies or portable control units.. that is if you're intending on manually controlling them.. How many were you expecting to order sir?

Sandwich-Anomaly In reply to Half-dude [2010-01-21 09:18:47 +0000 UTC]

around 30 and yes we want them controlled manually to give some of the mech crews a taste of some action, were gonna be testing them out in combat soon. we will pay for every one of them and we also request a few extra variations to the mini-doomers.

flame throwers, missile mechs, mini-doomers that can be deployed rapidly by drop ship, and maybe give some a nice paint job... something good for jungle warfare

Plink: well.... 9-9.. the three toes on each leg ARE wieghted. IT helps prevent it from being knocked over. The armor is also farly heavy as well.. we wanted to focus more on protection then speed.

Seriously though, irken armor must be heavy. I don't care how much you weigh this; for a vehicle this size, irken armor must be heavy.

Half-dude In reply to Sanoon [2007-09-20 20:49:54 +0000 UTC]

Plink: I've studied your human military from those books you let me borrow, I can tell you with certanty that your "RPG" rounds wouldnt be able to even come close to cracking it's shell, and that's even so with the 2 inch armor. That 4 inch armor could probably even survive one of your tank rounds. That's why we weighted the feet so much, because it would indeed knock it back a way.

I'm glad you're planning this tanks defenses around our weapon systems. It's easy to see who you'll be invading soon.

But in my planets defense, RPG's suck, and well funded and supplied militarys don't use those. Instead, they use Stingers and LAWs...which are better. I mean, Most RPGs can't even break through our tanks armor.

But seriously, it can defend against an Abrams tank shell? Well...that sucks...I just hope the new shells in production can have a chance.

Half-dude In reply to Sanoon [2007-09-20 23:00:43 +0000 UTC]

Plink: You dont have to worry, I doubt we'll be invading Earth any time soon ^^ it was merely a comparison. I'd guess that against more *ehem* evolved races the M-2508's armor would be pretty standard and reletively easy to breach. You've got to understand, us going against your race; umm no offense.. is like you going 300 years back into your races past and fighting with your current weaponry.

Plink: *takes sip of juice* You said something about "Stingers?" I'll assume your talking about aerial bombing from your eh... *looks through your book* .. "jets?" You'd be right about that, that could possibly pose a threat... but that's what the Armada is for..

Sanoon In reply to Half-dude [2007-09-21 22:57:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the confidence boost there. But yeah, I know. Current human technology is a little...behind...except for that whole dimensional transporting device.

Oh, and I'm not talking about areal bombers. Stingers are a more advanced, U.S. made rocket launcher. It's primarily used against aircraft, while the LAW is used against armor.

Oh...and Plink...I have a huuuge favor to ask....
