Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Highlander

"Count me in!"

-A highlander mech leaving the Motor Pool

The Highlander is heavy mech of Rose Battalion, built to support infantry and provide anti tank support. Planned to be voiced by Clancy Brown.

Tactical analysis

 * The thunderous sound: Highlanders fill the role of infantry support for Rose battalion infantry. While just as mobile as infantry, they are considerably larger, much more heavily armored, closer to a tank, and to be honest, quite intimidating. With their dual autocannons capable of shredding almost any ground forces


 * Mess with the bull and get the horns: Despite its size the Highlander is rather agile, with its jump jets it can leap great distances, and the weight as it comes down crushing anything unfortunate to be beneath it. And with its assault mode it can straight up plow through most vehicles with it increased armor and overclocking their autocannons


 * I ain't no tank: But the Highlanders is a mecha, not a tank. And while its fast it's vulnerable air attack due to their autocannons unable to swing high enough
 * Bring out the big guns: New upgrades to the Highlander are changing the autocannons to gatling cannons with HEAT rounds, a pair of high-explosive rocket pods on top, and optimized thrusters. But only veterans are granted the upgrades due to the engineers not wanting the rookies to break them in a reckless charge

Ace upgrade
