Description
The Rottweiler is a battle armor that was designed by scientists from the Lyran Alliance to be a fast scout. The Fenrir showed how fast a quadruped battlesuit could move, so the team decided to push the envelope with the Rottweiler, which can hit up to 54 km/h. It is also an electronics marvel, with stealth armor that enables the suit to evade detection and makes targeting it more difficult, as well as advanced sensors so that a Rottweiler unit is never surprised. It mounts enough of the aforementioned armor to stop a Clan Medium Pulse Laser. The Rottweiler also incorporates a hatch in its front that mimics a mouth and can carry up to five kilograms of equipment.
Armament
The Rottweiler does not use a turret mount like the Fenrir, as the engineering team opted for a fixed Small Laser instead. This has actually increased pilot comfort as he or she can now lay flat, enabling a Rottweiler squad to go on extended missions thanks to the lessened fatigue. For use against unarmored infantry, the battlesuit carries a "Firedrake" incendiary needler.
