Maffey - GE - Battle Walker - "Gorilla"

Pre Union Terran Mil Tech around 2200

The Cybernetic technology revolution of  Terran Mil tech that begun even before the ascent produced ever more developed war machines and military equipment.

The Maffey "Gorilla" is often seen as the "grand daddy" of the Fatman battle suit and in extension of the Quasimodo.

While it is technically not a suit and more akin to a walking tank and weapon platform. It is the first Terran mil tech with actuated arms and hands that are slaved to a

Motion capture device inside the machine. ( The Union Army relies on Battle walkers even today )

The Gorilla was designed with almost any planetary environment in mind,incliuding under water  operations.

The machine was also the first unit capable of Orbital drops.

Like everything Terran, it was equipped with many weapon systems and also introduced the concept of an external,independent array of weapon systems.Including the the first Walker Rifle ( GE Thunder Storm Mark 1)

The Gorilla had a crew of three  Suit operator, weapons officer and system officer)

It weight nearly 100 tons and stood almost 40 meters tall.

The last known existing Gorilla can be seen on display at the Terran Technology museum at Esrth Torus.
