A powerful mech destroyer that unleashes a hailstorm of weaponry upon its enemies. It's weapons include side mounted machine guns, quad light cannons, a top-mounted heavy cannon and a series of rocket pods in the center of the chassis. When it fires all weapons at once, it does an incredible amount of damage in a single burst.
General description[]
A mech that walks on four legs in an arachnid style, the Knox's design is based on the Black Widow spider, a venomous spider native to North America. Its naming is rather appropriate: the Knox is armed with a staggering six types of weaponry: two twin-linked cannons at the top part of the mech with a heavy cannon located at the top of the mech, which the mech fires all of them together in a single, devastating burst. The lower part, however, consists of a series of hidden rocket pods which vaporize even a Tur if the Knox concentrated its fire. Lastly, two heavy machine guns are fitted to the lower part: one on each side, and two small caliber flak cannons are fitted on the top side: one on each side.
Stats[]
Pros
- Extreme firepower against any ground target - especially if paired with its rocket salvo
- Rocket burst has a devastating effect against masses of enemies, especially infantry
- Decent mobility
- Passive ability (Hardened Frame) reduces the damage from all incoming attacks
Cons[]
- Despite its passive, it is still fairly easy to kill with concentrated fire
- Lacks long-ranged attacks
- Can defend itself against air attacks with two side autocannons, but these are not very effective against air units
- Rockets take a duration to reload; highly dependent on doing damage in bursts
Trivia[]
- It was named after General Henry Knox, the chief artillery officer of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and afterwards the first Secretary of War of United States
- The abundant weaponry on one single mech may be a reference to the US Army's tendency to put several weapons on a single chassis in WW2, such as the Lee.
