VR-052F/T M.O.S.P.E.A.D.A. Ride Armor (Battler)

The MOSPEADA (Mobile Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive Armor) is the standard model of Ride Armor. The F weapon package(twin missile launchers on each forearm) is standard on Ride Armor's stored in Mars Base Legioss' and TREAD's as a vehicle for downed pilots. The R package used by infantry Ride Armors consists the EP-37 beam gun. Infantry officers and shipboard troops used the T package and it's EP-40 beam pistol.

The role of the Mospeada Cyclone was poorly defined by the Robotech RPG book. The Mospeada Cyclone does NOT have the chest-mounted GR-103 Mini-missile launchers, as the Cyclone's front would have to be the same as the Blowseperior for this to be true. The EP-40 cannot be used in conjunction with an EP-37 or RL-6. Also, it cannot be used by a person not in a Cyclone.The Missile launcher sidecar is not an optional weapon system, it was a one-off used only by Dusty Ares.



VR-041H Blowsperior Ride Armor (Saber)

A heavy weapon, close combat Ride Armor usually given to Special Forces troopers, the Blowsperior is the first male Ride Armor produced and saw infantry action in the First Earth Recapture Mission, before being replaced in this role by the VR-052 MOSPEADA and restricted to a special forces role.

The CADS-1 can be included on any cyclone without penalties. It's just that they are better on the Blowsperior which has secondary, ranged wepons built in. As a tip of the hat to those who are used to the Battler, just swap the CADS-1s for the GR-97s as the Blowsperior actually features the chest mounted GR-103s unlike the MOSPEADA



VR-038L Bartley Ride Armor (Light Combat cyclone)

The Bartley is basicly the female version of MOSPEADA and is only designed to use the CVR-3F armor. The Bartley While the Robotech RPG made it a light combat version, the Mospeada ones were made lighter and had simpler controls so that it could be used by women! My, the days before political correctness ^_^

The Bartley can accept any of the forearm weapon modules and is not limited to the RL-6.

  1. Depleting the MDC of the main body shuts the mecha down completely, rendering it useless.
  2. These are small targets, attackers are -3 to hit on a "called shot"

  1. Depleting the MDC of the main body shuts the mecha down completely, rendering it useless. An emergency release system allows the person inside to shead the immobilised armour. Remember, the rider is wearing CVR-3 armour underneath the Ride Armor.
  2. These are small targets, attackers are -3 to hit on a "called shot"
  3. These are small targets, attackers are -3 to hit on a "called shot". These are actually CVR armor and destroying these locations will open up the pilot to physical (SDC/hit point) damage. Destroying the head kills the pilot.
Note: When using the CADS-1 weapon system, the ride armor has no forearm shields, as the CADS-1 replace them.

WEAPON SYSTEMS

Internal Weaponry (VR-040 Blowsuperior Only)
  1. GR-103 Guided RPG Launcher: The main offensive weapon used by the VR-040 Blowsuperior, the launcher holds 6 missiles on each side for a total of twelve and is actually split between both sides of the cycle's nose. When in Armor Bike mode the front faring is split and makes up the chest/shoulders of the mecha. This is the only internal weapon system on any Ride Armor.
Forearm Weaponry
The forearm shields/front wheel hubs of the Ride Armors are designed to interface with any one of the GR or EP series weapon modules. One weapon module can be mounted on each forearm shield. The Ride Armor's onboard computer system will automatically recognize which weapon module is installed and adjust the targeting displays on the Targeting sight accordingly. Any GR or EP-series weapon module can be used, though it is not recomended to mix and match different modules.

GR-97 Twin Missile Launcher (Weapon Package F): Two Scorpion missiles are mounted in each launcher.  The missiles possess their own laser guided system and are not dependent on the cyclone for targeting.GR-97 Twin Missile Launcher
CADS-1 Vibro-Blades (Weapon Package H): The CADS-1 is a round shield from which the pilot can extend a sword like blade for close combat situations.Close Attack Defense blades


  • RL-6 Rocket Cannon (Weapon Package L): The RL-6 is the new standard Mars base issue hand-held rocket launcher. It has a six missile payload and is fully usable without a Ride Armor, but must be fired without benefit of the uplink to a Ride Armor's laser targeting system. Weapon mounts to the interior of the right forearm plate (front wheel cover) in Armor, and on the right shoulder hardpoint, just above the right handlebar in Ride mode.
  • Rocket Launcher -6
    EP-37 Beam Rifle (Weapon Package R): The EP-37 is capable of firing single shot, semi-automatic or full-automatic heavy armor pirecing energy beams. The weapon is powered by an energy clip that holds 15 shots. The weapon can also be used by non Ride Armor riders, but the weapon is quite heavy for a rifle.
    EP-40 Beam Pistol (Weapon Package T):The EP-40 is capable of semi-automatically firing light armor pirecing energy beams. The weapon is powered by an energy clip that holds 45 shots.  An advanced targeting camera is mounted on the top front of the EP-40 that links directly to the targeting computer of the Ride Armor, making the weapon very accurate. Mars Gallant H-90 Energy Pistol / Rifle:The Mars Gallant H-90 is the standard firearm of Mars Base troops engaged in the Earth Recapture Mission's. The Gallant is a energy pistol, but the addition of a clip on stock turns it into a effective energy rifle. While not a standard Ride Armor weapon package, many downed Legioss pilots used their Gallant's in Rifle mode to extend their weaponry. Mars Gallant H-90

     

  • HAND TO HAND COMBAT: If necessary, Ride Armor pilots can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon, though only the VR-040H Blowsperior with it's CADS-1 is truly designed for close combat action. The Ride Armors are extremely agile and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc.
