SAT-5 Cloak. A massive cloak that wraps around the shoulders of the BTLG, spanning down to its feet. Covered in nano-plated reflectors, this cloth acts as a camouflage, turning its visage into that of its surroundings. A cloaking cloak in layman's terms. However, if the cloak only lasts for 3 turns before having to rest for another 3.
Infrared Scope. Atop the head of the BTLG is an infrared scope which allows the pilot to see machines through objects or camouflage. This makes it so that shots that would have been at a disadvantage due to sight, is now a regular roll.
Don Flambo's Unit 08. The following are special attachments added by Don Flambo for his unit. These are not usually equipped on a BTLG unit.
The TRAD Flyer Drones, which allow for ricocheted shots on unsuspecting targets.
This unit is also equipped with a special sidearm, the MXS Revolver, along with the ALP System.
Units are usually equipped with a 75mm PLT rifle, however Flambo's unit utilizes a 90mm cannon, being of more made of sturdier stuff.
90mm PLT Cannon. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 120ft/200ft, 1 target. Hit: 47 (5d12 + 9) [piercing] damage.
MXS Revolver. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 20ft/35ft, 1 target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 9)
Carries 6 rounds.
Reload. Reload either the PLT or MXS. The PLT can only carry a single shot and the unit carries 26 spare shots. It also carries 2 spare moon clips for the MXS.
ALP System. Use the Auto Lock Pistol system, automatically targeting up to 1d6 targets without having to roll. Fire how many rounds are remaining in the MXS Revolver, blowing away enemies. Roll once for damage from the MXS and use it for every target. (3 uses per pitstop)
TRAD Flyer. Flambo's machine is equipped with 2 small drones that are about the length of a motorcycle. They are metal cylinders that, when deployed, splay open from four sides, a rotor system coming from the top. They can be moved remotely as they fly through the sky, allowing Flambo to have multiple angles of attack. They can ricochet bullets when fired at, but are useless otherwise.
They can be used whenever, but there are only two equipped. They can be first deployed at a range of 40ft, have a movement speed of 20ft, and can only travel 100ft away from the BTLG. If they are destroyed, then they are gone for good until you are able to obtain more.
Any basic action. Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Grapple, etc.
Infrared Scope. Activate or deactivate the scope.
SAT-5 Cloak. Cloak yourself, making all ranged attacks against you past a range of 20ft take disadvantage.
TRAD Flyer. Use your bonus action to move the TRAD Flyers as you wish.
Emergency Eject. Does exactly as stated. If you don't want to die when your mech goes caput, fling yourself out of the cockpit. However, if the blow that killed you dealt more than half your maximum HP, the eject will fail.
Description
The BTLG, or Betelgeuse, was based off of the MARS like every unit. It was made during the tail end of the 'Durang War', and is one of the middle aged machines. It was created in 2054, a decade after the MARS. It is the 4th kind of Mechanical Walker type that has been made and stands at 7.92 (26 feet) tall.
While rare due to their niche service requirements, the BTLG is still used by most nations on the Earth, though not as extensively as the MARS. It is mostly found in the Antarctic Region, owned by the PAOA (Polar Anti-Oppression Alliance), being the main reason that the polar caps have not been invaded by foreign powers.
The BTLG is quite thick for its role, bolstering thin but broad shoulders as well as a bulbous cockpit. The head is sunken into the torso; round like the MARS's, but with a yellow visor for its main camera rather than a slate. It's crotch section is a single piece, the legs slotting right aside it. They have large calves and feet to match, made to support standing and firing its rifle as well as housing rotors for aquatic capability. The SAT-5 Cloak is meant to stretch across the shoulders and head.
The BTLG is by no means a machine that requires finesse, but they sure are expensive. Most that lose their equipment are scrapped or downscaled back into MARS units.
