Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Highlander

"Count me in!"

-A highlander mech leaving the Prototype Workshop

The Highlander is the heavy mech of the UCA prototypes. 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
 * Giving the enemy a burial: 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, though the building will damage the Highlander in turn
 * Mess with the bull and get the horns: The Highlander can also go into assault mode. Where it can straight up plow through most vehicles with it increased armor and overclocking their weapon
 * This is a prototype: But the Highlanders is expensive. And while it's fast it's vulnerable aircraft due to their autocannons being unable to swing high enough
