GAME NOTES:
- O - O - A - K stands for "One Of A Kind" (see below). The "Alincourt-made" x-0.2 cost multiplier and 25% cost reduction for Space Eff. are the same ones used for the Ruby.
- Listed height is to shoulders; head-to-tail lenght of 27 m, wingspan of 21 m. It's B-I-G. It also looks like a real dragon (unless the missiles are loaded, of course).
- This monster (very literaly) is a BeastMecha / Avian combiner, since Beasts just plain can't fly and Mr. Hagen insisted on the Beast. Besides, the increased Land MA does carry to the Wing MA... The Eficient Transformation is a representation of a mecha unit with the capabilities of both a Beast and Avian (sharp observers will notice, this is literally copied from the MMMI "GodGriffin VX"'s description) :)
- The Conditional Movement stands for not being able of combining both Air MAs as it should be able to do - we say, the wings have to be locked on place in order to activate the thrusters at supersonic speeds on atmosphere.
- The Plasma Breath is cross-linked with a laser targeter of +3 WA whose only purpose is to gide the breath fire; if the targeter hits, the breath also hits automaticaly on the same location. Of course, if the laser gets hit or can't lock on the target (example: the ASP could detect a target behind smoke, yes, but the laser most definitely CAN'T reach through it), the plasma reverts to WA -2 (who isn't so pretty). Follows a rule posted on rec.games.mecha
- The Head has 360 deegres of fire and can bite someone at the back of the unit - long neck indeed
- Notice that the "All Melee Atacks" option (all four legs, both wings, bite and tail striking at once with only one action) is LINKAGE, not X-LINK. I'm not so sadistic.
- The Hot Combustion Powerplant is an alcohol-burning one, model "Chatanooga" CHOOH-2, as seen on the page 35 of the SBB sourcebook (yes, you CAN dilute and drink it).
- The two listed Epoxy missile ranges are two DIFERENT tipes of missiles. (They cost just the same and I also just can't decide for only one ). :) Choose a tipe while loading the ammo, NOT in mid-combat!
- The Hardpoints can carry racks of any standard SAC or ODF missiles (remember to apply the B-Mod rules)
