"Gentlemen," said a man wearing military apparel as he stood at the podium in front of hundreds of Trojans, "I present to you the APU-1, the Armored Personnel Unit. This, of course, is a prototype version. But, with government funding, we can implement the APU into our Royal Marine Corps, making it a deadly anti-air and anti-infantry unit.

Now, as you can see, this battle suit is a massive piece of sophisticated machinery.... 15 feet high and 4.2 tons to be exact. It is anthropomorphic with bipedal locomotion and two independent 30mm belt-fed guns. Never fear, ample amounts of ammunition are loaded before it enters a battle. Several reloads by ground units can be made quite easily...." his speech continued on and on as he vividly explained each part of the mobile platform. The crowd, as well as high-ranking military officials, seemed quite impressed with the APU.

24 Months Later
The Royal Trojan Military Development Department (RTMDD) is proud to announce the release of the APU-3 Armored Personnel Unit. It is to be gradually implemented into the Royal Marine Corps and to be used as their mechanized infantry unit.

Innumerable modifications were made to the prototype version, increasing the lethality and performance of the unit.

Any nation willing to pay and obtain the rights of the APU from Troy may do so if an amount of eight billion Trojan Credits [4B TC=4B USD] is paid to the Trojan Government. Domestic production only. The purchaser may not distribute the unit to any other nation without the direct consent of the Trojan Government. Individual sales will not be made. Either purchase the production rights or sit there and marvel at the APU.

Impressive. But we are doubtful of the armoring capabilities. It looks quite fragile and exposed. We have a lot of experience in the field of power armor, perhaps we can help you refine this one.

Ah, yes, of course. Also, several armor improvements were added from the orginal prototype.

<OOC: Anyone see the Matrix: Revolutions yet? These bad boys are in it. I was a little surprised too with the lack of armor. Hell, the operators didn't even wear body armor. :roll: >

OOC-It actually says on the official website armoring was taken off so you could see the characters. And BTW, anyone have screencaps of the battlesuit from the Animatrix? That thing was sweet.

OOC: Yes, the battlesuit was very well done... it even showed how dangerous they can be to the pilot if limbs are damaged. Rip!

Not really, equipment can be hardened against EMP (not perfect, but still) -- just like it can be equipped with NBC protection equipment.

OOC: Matrix: Revolutions was good. Saw it over the weekend. The guy yelling, "NOOOO!!!" could definitely do with a more armored machine though. We are also developing this. Uh, just a question, do whatever scientific advisors the W brothers have know that an EMP is when you detonate a nuke in the atmosphere?
