We have been working on a mecha development program as of late, since it is our belief that we should concentrate on quality over quantity. We will soon be ready to place our first design into mass production, but we thought we'd give a preview by auctioning off our single remaining test prototype, "Rapier-0."

There is one and only one unit, so it's pretty much for collectors only!

All sensitive parts have been removed, but the mecha can be made operational with some minor replacements by any nation more advanced than us.
