Lunar L.M. has unveiled their newest one-driver main battle mecha design: ML-12
Bulldog II.
ML-12 is an all new design base on the new HF-300 Helium3 reactor and advanced
magnetic coating technology, giving it mobility of a recon mecha while retain
the armour and firepower of a MBM. The basic ML-12 chassis has a highly advanced
multi-band sensor. Internal weapons are stored in two armoured chambers.
Standard configuration in each chamber includes: one back-up sensor, one J30
30mm mini cannon, two LX-2 laser cannons and two AT-8C missiles. 4 smoke
grenades are installed at the top. One unique feature of ML-12 is the driver can
get in and out of the cockpit without assistance. The cockpit is spacious, and
the improved AI should reduce the driver’s work load v.s. other one-driver MBM.
ML-12 has 5 hard-points for mounting external weapons, which can be jettisoned
if necessary. Lunar L.M. has provided 3 standard configurations:
ML-12AS Assult configuration
Armed with one SPG-1D Heavy Plasma Cannon and 16 Hellfire-IV AT/AA Missiles,
ML-12AS may be the most powerful MBM of this generation. Hellfire-IV Missiles
have a long list of combat proven records, and there is no known armour or
forcefield that can defend against SPG-1 Heavy Plasma Cannon. If SPG-1D really
solved the overheat problem of SPG-1A, B and C, ML-12AS will have unmatched
firepower. This configuration also come with a retractable AQ-403 long range
guidance unit for standoff deployment of Hellfire-IV.
ML-12AA Anti-Air configuration
AA duty are usually handled by lighter mechas, but Lunar L.M. believe there is
market for heavy AA mecha that can survive a direct hit of an anti-radar
missile. Armament includes M92 20mm four-barrel cannon, and four AAM-22 medium
range multi-sensor missiles. A standard RR-10 search radar is mounted at the
back.
ML-12L Long range artillery configuration
Despite the new advancement in energy weapons, artillery remain an important
part of of the gound force. The LG9 160mm cannon can carry 24 shells, and can
be reloaded quickly by engineering mecha.
