More information can be found on the AB-01 Tread Armo-Bomber

RPG STATS

Vehicle Type: AB-01 TREAD

Class: Armo-Bomber
Manufacturer: Mars Base Military Production Facility
Crew: One pilot wearing CVR-3 Combat Armor

MDC BY LOCATION:

NOTES:

1. Destroying the sensor suite will knockout long range communications (reduced to 60 miles/96 km range) and long range radar (reduce to 20 miles) and laser targeting (-1 to strike)
2. Depleting 100 MDC of the shoulder missile launchers will destroy the short range missile launchers 2xMM-20 located in the front of the Tread fighter.
3. Depleting the MDC of the main body will destroy the mecha.

RUNNING, ARMO-SOLDIER MODE:

128 kph

LEAPING, ARMO-SOLDIER MODE:

50 ft (15 m) high or 70 ft (21 m) long without thrusters.

FLYING, ARMO-SOLDIER MODE:

482 kph

FLYING, ARMO-DIVER/ARMO-SOLDIER MODE:

Mach One (670 mph/1072 kmph) maximum speed limit in an Earth-like atmosphere. Can also hover in place indefinitely.

FLYING, ARMO-BOMBER MODE:

Max level speed : 1930 kph at 18000m (Mach 1.8) /
700 kph at sea level (Mach 0.7)
Stall speed : 250 kph (VTOL rectification possible)
Initial climb rate : over 40000m per minute with boosters
Service ceiling : 35 km (unboosted). Tread can be boosted into orbit

STATISTICAL DATA:

300  kps internally

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE AB-01 TREAD:

• AUTO-PILOT: The AB-01 is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto- pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the mecha. The auto-pilot was designed with long intra-system space journeys in mind.
• COMBAT COMPUTER: The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 10,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 250 targets simultaneously. 
• FUEL CAPACITY: The Tread runs off 32 HBT cells (8 4-Paks). This will fuel the Tread for 250 hours (10 days) flight time. Combat in Armo-Soldier Mode will not increase the fuel useage above that of the other modes, though one orbital escape flight will drain well over 3/4's of the cell level.
• EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening head and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
• HOMING SIGNAL: The escape pod of the  AB-01  is equipped with a homing device that enables rescue teams to locate a disabled craft or ejected life pod. The range of the signal is 400 miles (640 km). Most Mars Base ships and veritecs can locate and track a homing signal, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.
• LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
• SELF-DESTRUCT: To prevent capture of an advance variable fighter by the enemy, the pilot can activate the  AB-01 self-destruct system, which will cause the fighter to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 20 foot (6 m) area and inflicts 1D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. All internal systems are obliterated. The escape pod will be automatically ejected prior to the explosion unless the pilot overrides the ejection sequence. As the Inbit rarely capture human mecha, this is used more as a spoilsport tactic if the pilot is forced down by bandits
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All Mars Base mecha come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.) This box can be attached to the rear of a Ride Armor.
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The AB-01 cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The CVR-3 also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot's blacking out in combat.
  

COMBAT BONUSES FOR OFFICAL AB-01 TREAD ARMO-BOMBER TRAINING:

• 3 attacks per melee (plus those of the pilot).
• Add one additional action/attack at levels seven and thirteen.
• +1 to strike
• +3 to parry
• +2 to dodge in armo-solder and armo-diver, +4 in armo-bomber mode.
• +2 to roll with a punch or fall with an impact, reducing damage by half.
