Description

Debuting in 3069 the Celestial seriesof OmniMechs are engineered to be used by the elite Word of Blake Manei Domini troops. The Archangel is the largest of the Celestial series of OmniMechs. Designed to be an "anchor" for WoB formations the 'Mech is known as a "zombie," because of its capability to take extreme amounts ofdamage and continue operating. The Archangel features a compact fusion engine, compact gyro, a small cockpit, and nineteen and a half tons of standard armor which frees up a large amount of internal space while an Endo Steel frame opens up free tonnagemaking heavy components possible, while a C3i Computer helps direct fire.

Armament

The Invictus, or Primary version of the Archangel carries a Guardian ECM Suite to allow the 'Mech to distrupt enemy electronics and targeting systems. For ranged comebat the Archangel Invictus carries a Plasma Rifle and Heavy PPC both of which are slaved to an advanced targeting computer. The Invictus also includes jump jets, allowing the 100-tonner to hop 90 meters. Finally, a Retractable Blade gives the design added defense in close combat situations.

Variants

  • Alt Config A (Dominus) - The Dominus configuraton is armed with a pair of arm-mounted Heavy PPCs giving it powerful ranged combat capabilitiers, as well as a Snub-Nose PPC and a pair of ER Medium Lasers mounted in the head and center torso, respectively, giving it a powerful close range punch. Eight additional double heat sinks keep the 'Mech's heat under control. BV (2.0) = 2,216
