Description
the kiwi is a medium class combat mech, designed to be a cross between a gunship's flexibility and a tank's durability. it excels in most roles, but is vulnerable to attacks from behind if the attackers are less than 20 feet away, and is somewhat notorious for its energy demands during combat.

height: 25 feet
weight: 50 tons
crew: one pilot, one gunner (though it can function at 85% combat efficiency with a single pilot/gunner and 55% unmanned)
power: gas turbine electric engine
armaments (standard loadout):
-2x 4x Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS) missiles
-2x 19x 70mm dumbfire hydra rockets
-1x 30mm three barreled rotary cannon, linkless feed, 1000 round drum, high explosive or depleted uranium rounds
-8x smoke grenade launcher
special features:
the "neck" is capable of swiveling 60 degrees to either side, allowing the mech to engage enemies directly behind it without having to completely turn around
