Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Cranach

"Ready to remove those pests!"

The Cranach is an superheavy mech of Rose Battalion, built to be a tank and provide anti air support. Planned to be voiced by Liam O'Brien, using his Sterkenburg Cranach voice.

Tactical Analysis

 * Lots and Lots of Guns: The Cranach is armed with an array of rapid fire chainguns capable of ripping infantry and aircraft to shreds in a matter of seconds and also becomes quite effective against heavy armour in large groups. While its massive size makes it so that no attacks can get past them
 * Stop only when the barrels melt: Normally, the Cranach has inherent safeties that reduce the mechs rate of fire to enable it to cool down between shots. However, in times of emergency, these safeties can be taken offline, significantly increasing the mechs rate of fire and removing the need to reload at the cost of damaging itself over time, and once a certain threshold is reached the mech will immediately and forcible shut down in order to preserve the crews life, during which its a sitting duck until its cooled enough to come back online
 * Bring down the thunder: The Cranach can also anchor itself to the ground, allowing it to deploy its back mounted weaponry in tandem with their own weaponry. In this mode they will use grenade machineguns to mulch infantry and vehicles while their gatling railcannons rips apart heavier aircrafts
 * Slow but deadly: Due-to the heavy Machinery, the Cranach isn't very fast, it also really expensive, all but useless against superheavy class vehicles and structures, and its size makes it impossible to fit into any transport, though its somewhat amphibious thanks to a water tight design and oxygen banks for the crew allowing the mech to simply wade underwater

History
"Remember to keep your distance and move fast, since it turns slowly. And don't get close when its facing you or you'll be torn into pieces!"
