Metal Gear Rex-Walking Battle Tank A (WBT-A)
Here at Jamntech Industries we are proud to present to you our newest and most advanced military project which our scientists have hailed as our greatest military advance yet. A production model WBT sprung from the idea of Metal Gear Rex from the Metal gear series.Due to the costs and time, each WBT-A will take 2 NS years to finish and we can only produce a certain number of them at any one time so place your orders quickly.
The cost of one WBT-A unit is £425,000,000
Tactical Role of Metal Gear :
Firstly, a Metal Gear is a nuclear-mountable walking tank, in another word a walking tank which can fire nuclear, and the main purpose of the series is to launch various missiles with nuclear warheads to all around the world from any locations, depending on various situations.
Appearance of this system, to the West which relied on SNW "trinity" like ICBM, SLBM, BS, B-B, and to the East which relied on ICBMs, posed as a real "threat".
Until then, launching ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile), which is known as a tactical method with range over 5500 kilometers, was possible only from various nuclear sites. This fact left some warfare questions unsolved. Needless to say, vigilance from both East and West are 24 hours over these sites, and at the same time target of enemy attacks. Even a slight move will be detected, and provide a chance for counterattack.
This is a effect that might be referred as "security power" which is natural to nuclear, anyway...
On the other hand, SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile) can be, as its name indicates, fired from any sea area as long as it is underwater, but cannot be launched from the land. Even less from mountains and desert area, a ridiculous dream.
And about dropping from long-range bombers, the success rate to reach the drop point is low, and unlike submarines which can act completely independently, there are problems like refueling and several others.
Metal Gear series have solved all these matters, and furthermore, not only that they can fire middle-range nuclear like LINF with ranges shorter than 5500 kilometers and SINF (550 to 1000), but even short-range nuclear with range below 500 kilometers.
By simply changing every kind of nuclear modules, they can fire any missiles.
And they are mobile by their own, and adding to that, they can fire from where tanks even tanks cannot enter.
They can fire from all the area, all the points which were not included in world nuclear warfare map.
At the same time not only as a role of mobile nuclear launcher, they are equipped with weapons (Vulcan guns, machine guns and missiles) which support their own launching of nuclear, so can act independently in regional battlefields.
This is why East, West, and all the world fear existence of these war machines.
The appearance of Metal Gear is a dangerous occasion, which might collapse world military balance and nuclear security balance.

DAMAGE: Equal to the pilot's combined number of hand-to-hand attacks. The laser can also be fired in one long, extended blast lasts one full melee and does 1D4x10 M.D. When used full melee, the mecha suffers a -1 to strike a moving target but not when attacking stationary targets
RATE OF FIRE: As per pilots attacks
PAYLOAD: Unlimited
HOWARD PBSF-03F PIN-POINT BARRIER SYSTEM: The Metal Gear Rex is equipped with the new mecha-scale pinpoint barrier system for defense. The system can generate a single pinpoint barrier that can be moved anywhere on the mecha and used as a shield against incoming attacks. The barrier provides 100 MDC of protection, and regenerates at a rate if 50MDC per round when damaged. Even if destroyed by combined attacks, the shield will generate itself within 2 rounds. In order to use the shield, the pilot must make a successful parry roll to intercept an incoming attack.
Primary Purpose: Defense
Protection: 100 MDC total
Regeneration Rate: 50 MDC per round.
Size: The barrier can be up to 10 ft (3 m) in diameter.
Duration: Unlimited.
HAND TO HAND COMBAT: If necessary, the pilot of the Rex can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The Metal Gear although not particularly agile but can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches and kicks, rolling with impacts, etc.
DAMAGE:
Punch: 1D6 M.D.
Kick: 1D6 M.D.
Body Block/Tackle: 1D4 M.D.
Stomp: 1D4 M.D. (only effective against small objects)
STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE WBT-A METAL GEAR REX:
AUTO-PILOT: The Rex is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot. Although not as complex as those equipped in Variable Fighters, it can be reasonably trusted to get the Metal Gear from point A to point B safely. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the Robot is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the mecha.
COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The Rex is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. The entire cockpit canopy of the Rex is a large HUD display, which allows the computer to display large amounts of data to the pilot and even highlight enemies and missile attacks with overlaid graphics. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 10,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 250 targets simultaneously.
EJECTOR SEAT: The reinforced cockpit of the Rex contains an ejector seat which can be fired when the mecha is destroyed. The ejector seat contain thrusters firing it high into the air before the parachute attached opens. The ejector seat also contains a powerful locator beacon. The combat computer is programmed to automatically eject the pilot if the mecha is destroyed (main body MDC reduced to 0), but this can be overridden if the pilot is feeling suicidal for some reason.
EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if here is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
HOMING SIGNAL: The ejector seat of the Rex is equipped with a homing device that enables rescue teams to locate the disabled Metal Gear or ejected pilot. The range of the signal is 400 miles (640 km). Most UN Spacy ships, Variable Fighters and Destroids can locate and track homing signals, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.
LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the mecha's strike bonus.
LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
RADAR: 300 mile (480 km) range.
RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
SELF-DESTRUCT: To prevent capture of the Metal Gear Rex by the enemy, the pilot can activate the Rex's self-destruct system, which will cause the Robot to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 20 foot (6 m) area and inflicts 1D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. All internal systems are obliterated. The pilot will be automatically ejected prior to the explosion unless the pilot overrides the ejection sequence.
STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All UN mecha come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The Rex's cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The UN Spacy flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot's blacking out in combat.
