the Brawler

The Brawler is a large, self-propelled gun and missile launcher. It's a tall tracked vehicle that features a 77mm howitzer as its main cannon, along with a bevy of other projectile weaponry - not to mention experimental ablative armor. The Brawler has these capabilities:

Ablative Armor: the Brawler makes use of ablative armor, shaped explosives that detonate outward from the Brawler proper. They explode faster than incoming warheads and help to minimize their effects. Each side of the Brawler benefits from a one-shot use of 6 CS Damage Reduction.

Body Armor: on top of its ablative armor technology, the Brawler makes use of plain old armor as well. It has a 'blast proof' armor casing that is up to 20 inches thick around the occupants' area, providing the Body and Protection scores listed above.

Communications Array: the Brawler is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This makes for Typical (6) comm power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Electro-fire Machine Guns: each front corner of the Brawler is equipped with two twinned machine gun mounts. They can each be fired to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage in a short burst, or Remarkable (30) Shooting damage full auto. Add +1 CS if both are trained on a single foe.

Grenade Launchers: the Brawler has four separate grenade launchers. These triple-rack 'super strike' tactical effect grenades inflict Remarkable (30) Edged Attack (fragmentary) damage, adding +1 CS for each doubling of projectiles used, and have a maximum four area range.

Mega Concussion Cannon: this artillery piece is the main weapon on the Brawler. It is a 77mm howitzer that can fire shells capable of inflicting Amazing (50) Shooting damage per blast, enough to penetrate even the most hardened of complexes or vehicles.

Night Attack Machine Gun: the UIO-101 machine gun is mounted atop the mega concussion cannon, and is designed as an anti-missile weapon; it's computer controlled. It can fire to inflict Excellent (20) Shooting damage in a single shot, or Remarkable (30) Shooting damage full-auto.

Night Vision: the Brawler is equipped with a series of micro-radar emitters and visible imaging systems, which provide it the ability to fight even in complete darkness - unless something is acting to jam radio frequencies in its vicinity, that is.

Surface to Air Missiles: the Brawler is equipped with two large S.A.M. launchers. These rather large projectiles can strike anything within line of sight of the Brawler - and often beyond if it tries to flee. They inflict +1 CS damage if both strike a single target:
