Subject: Red Type Battle Armor CodeName: Red Type Hieght: 275 cm (~9 Feet)  /  Weight: 910 kg (~1 Ton) Status: Discontinued in favor of newer and more powerful armors, but still in limited production for use by US allies and non-military applications such as construction.  Description: The Red Type Cybernetic Battle Armor was the first mass production battle armor to be used against Chronos.  Basically a cybernetic armored exo-suit that transforms a human soldier into a one man army, the Red Type battle armor provides comparable strength and durability to the typical mass produced Zoanoid types, that allows a normal human to stand against the Superior forces of Chronos. Designed by Dr. Drake, this battle armor was conceived nearly ten years ago, to be used in outerspace. In 1998, when we first discovered about Chronos, Dr Drake was asked if his designs could be adapted for use against Chronos. The Red Type battle armor was the result.

-Physical strength has been approximated to be equal to between ten and fifteen men and has been shown to be able to stand up to even the Gregole type Zoanoid.

-Speed: The Red Type battle armor significantly reduces the users mobility due to several factors including slow reacting hydraulic musculature and weight of unit, due to the necessary tank like armor needed to protect users from Zoanoid attacks. This reduces the units top speed to a mere walking pace that does not exceed more than 5 or 6 MPH.

-Durability is roughly equal to Gregole due to the tank type armor plating.

-Sensory perception: Armor is equiped with standard modern day military H.U.D. with both auditory and visual enhancers for night and long range targeting as well as allowing users to adapt to a wide range of combat conditions.

-Weapons: The Red Type battle armor is equipped with a single arm mounted electric gun that fires standard 20 mm H.E. rounds. Due to early mass production need of armor units to counter the superior power of even low level Zoanoids and to give our soldiers a fighting chance that no other armament could be integrated into this Armor type without increasing its already massive bulk. The present non-military built version of this model has replaced this weapon module with a socket that can be used to attach construction equipement such as a welder and/or bolt gun.

-Special Note: Though this armor type has been phased out of active use by US military forces, the Red type armor is still being mass produced for use by rebel forces in other parts of the world. The armor is also being sold to other nations around the world in exchange for food and natural resources that the war with Chronos has caused the US to be in short supply of, along with other US developed military weapons, such as the Wolf series battle armor.

-Some Red armors are being augmented with surplus Blue Armor parts and custom weaponry, though still not as powerful as a Blue type, it is hoped that the augmented Red armors will help oppose Chronos operations around the world.
