Tomahawk Assault Exoframe Model #: AE-04 Codename: Tomahawk Manufacturer: Exofleet Research and Development Group Function: Multi-Environmental Heavy Assault Vehicle Weight: 31 metric tons (fully loaded) Height: 12.7 m Crew: 1 or 2 man mecha Propulsion: Maneuvering thrusters*       - Dual thrusters on back       - Heels (4)       - Calves (2)       - Waist (2)       - Chest (2)       - Shoulders (4)      * Thrusters are incapable of providing the e-frame with sustained flight (in an atmosphere with gravity comparable to Earth's). Their primary use is to provide a type of short range flight (jumps), slow the e-frame's decent from a drop, or provide a means of maneuvering in space. Weapons: Particle Beam Cannons (PBC) (2)       - Both arms Cluster rocket launchers       - Located in chest       - 12 in each launcher (24 total)       - Short range missiles Anti-aircraft long range missile launcher       - Over the shoulder mounted       - 8 compartments       - 2 missiles per compartment (16 total) Primary pulse lasers (2)       - Located in chest Secondary pulse lasers (8)       - 6 located under primary pulse lasers in chest       - 2 located on head to either side of the cockpit Equipment: Searchlight Auto-pilot Combat computer Ejection seat Homing beacon with separate power source Optical enhancement package (infrared, nightvision, thermal imager) Full sensor array Self-destruct (delay up to 60 min) History:       The AE-04 Tomahawk was developed by Exofleet R&D to add much needed firepower to its ground forces. Being one of the most recent additions to the Jumptroop ranks, the Tomahawk is the most technologically advanced e-frame. It brings together a desirable combination of defensive and offensive capability. However, due to the fact the Tomahawk is heavily armored, it is a bit slow on the battlefield. Thus its defensive capability is more or less limited to its ability to take punishment. As a result, most of its pilots consider the the saying "the best defense is a good offense" a religious commandment. For that very reason, Tomahawk pilots (as well as Phalanx pilots) have a reputation for being a tad quick on the trigger.       The Tomahawk is one of the most heavily armed ground based e-frames. Its most prominent feature are the massive Particle Beam Cannons (PBC's) which make up the arms. These devastating energy based weapons are capable of getting through the most fortified armor. Combined with the Tomahawk's multiple pulse lasers and missile launchers, this machine of war is nearly unstoppable on the battlefield.
