Nicknamed the 'Stomper', since it's introduction during the War for Belisarius IV, the first generation mobile weapons platform had been found increasingly used in urban, mountainous, jungle and similar planetary environments where conventional battle tanks are not suited for deployment, proving their worth through superior manuvourability with their bipedal robotic locomotion.





Their standard loadout includes dual medium laser cannons and dual medium particle cannons, with additional armaments such as heavier versions of said weapons, machine guns turrets and missile pods for anti-infantry and anti-armor purposes could be refitted at will, making the Stomper a versatile vehicle.





Other features include an experimental kinetic-shielding technology, similar in principle to artificial gravity generators aboard starships, that enables protection against conventional bullets, missiles, artillery shells, and even limited protection against hyper-velocity coilgun munitions and particle beams, reducing the Stomper's titanium alloy armor requirements and thereby reducing weight that could limit their manuvourability and speed. The shield could be regulated by a seventh-generation quantum-nanoprocessor tactical computer core, which also allows for effective co-ordination movement of its legs and high accuracy targeting solutions, and is sufficiently advance to even control the mech under a 'Rabbit mode' in event of absence of or a compromised pilot. A micro-fusion generator provides power for the mech's motor and weapons systems, with two heat-sinks in the rear to provide coolant for both.
