Red 5

Red-5 with Beam Cannon & HEP Cannon

Overview

The 5th Prototype AHSMB builded by MJP is called Red-5, an All-Round Combat Leader. Red-5 is piloted by Team Rabbits Leader Izuru Hitachi. Like a Forward Unit Red-5 became a Vanguard of the team. But as a Combat Leader, this unit also has capability to handle high command transmission as well.

Unit Feature

Like Blue 1, this unit also consist from two part, The Core Module and The Frame Unit.

Red 5 was made based on the technology that the Wulgaru used for their machines. It serves as a leader unit that is able to process the status quo of the surroundings during combat, allowing the pilot to issue orders easily. Like Blue 1, it is versatile so as to provide easy maneuverbility. It is also installed with the JURIA-SYSTEM like the other four units that was manufactured along with it, but it is able to surpass the system and 'take over' the pilot as shown in the anime.

Component

Armoured Frame

​Red 5 consists two parts: the core and the frame. The core acts as a "skeleton"frame for the unit and shelters the pilot as well. The frame, also known the as Jaeger suit, is what gives the unit its looks, and acts as an armour as well.

Beam Cannon

A Dual-mode Beam Gun, hand-carried in use. Red-5 can use these weapon in two mode with is Burst Mode with Low Penetration and Single Mode with High Penetration.

HEP Cannon

Mounted on forearm, hand-carried in use, and can be launched from Pit Crew Ships. This are the Red-5 "Jack of all Trades" weapon, it contain many function namely:

  • Variable Speed Beam Rifle; this is the HEP Cannon standard function, it became a mid-range rapid fire weapon to attack the enemy. Izuru can adjust the firing speed at the expense of its penetration power.
  • High Energy Particle Beam; when HEP Cannon extended it's barrel it can deliver even more powerful beam toward far enemies. The drawback using this mode are it has significant delay charge, so against skilled enemies some of them might be able to avoid the attack.
  • Chainsaw; for close range attack this weapon can emerge a set of sawtooth at the edge of it. Can be sed to parry enemy attack or to pierce through the enemy armor.
  • Micro Mine Launcher; stored on the side of the weapon. this micro mine are mainly use to confuse or suppress closing enemy.

Multi Launcher

Like HEP Cannon, its mounted on forearm, hand-carried in use, and can be launched from Pit Crew Ships. From the look of it this weapon has 4 different barrel. so I suspect it has four different attack (Scatter Impact Mode, Rapid Fire Mode, Grenade Launcher Mode and Long Range Sniping Mode)
