Description/Overview:
The idea behind the MBR-01C was to build a battlerobot capable of replacing both the MBR-01 and the MBR-01As that were still in service with the EFSM forces in 2077 AD. The older MBR-01 type mecha within the EFSM had not faired well during the invasion of Mars in 2076 AD and were beginning
to show their obsolescence. The MBR-01 and MBR-01A were no longer able to fulfill the role of mainline battlerobots. Therefore, the EFSM turned to SkyKing-GrandJäger to develop an improved battlerobot to replace the older mecha using as many available components as was possible. The main reason for this was the fact that the EFSM lacked the time to develop and produce a new line of MBR. Therefore, a new MBR-01 variant was deemed a suitable stop-gap measure.
The MBR-01C was the logical outcome of the requirements set forth by the EFSM during their darkest hour of the 1st Interplanetary War. This machine was built in large quantities at the Io and Europa Jovian factories that the EFSM controlled during the later half of the conflict.
The MBR-01C used the same walker engine, rocket engines, reactor, computer, and life-support system as the MBR-01 and MBR-01A. The major differences were in the armor of the MBR-01C and the weapon systems.
The MBR-01C used a newly developed General Dynamic/MMI M61A4-GP1 20-millimeter six-barrel Gatling autocannon gunpod as its primary weapon. This weapon system was vastly superior to the M230-AC-GP that was the standard issue of most battlerobots of the time.
The MBR-01C was also designed to use one or two of the newly developed Norking SRML-100-16HG heavy ground type short-range missile pods. These missile pods fired the MMI SRM-02 100-pound missile, which could act as both artillery and indirect fire support. These missile pods weighed 3 tons and could be mounted on either shoulder, or two could be mounted on the MBR-01C, one on each shoulder.
The only integral weapon systems of the MBR-01C were a pair of Orlakon/MMI AC-R20 20-millimeter ball turrets. One turret was mounted on each side of the torso of the battlerobot. These turrets were used against small ground targets and missiles.
Like the MBR-01 and MBR-01A, the MBR-01C was used solely for ground combat and was not designed for zero-g flight. The MBR-01C served in nearly all of the militaries of the colonies of the outer sphere of the Sol System from the early 2080s all the way up until the 2100s as the main ground combat unit. The total number of MBR-01Cs built between 2077 and 2100 was 144,000 units; with 55,000 being built by the EFSM at Jupiter during the 1st Interplanetary War, and 89,000 constructed by the Jupiter Federal Colonies for the Outer Colonies after the war ended.
