Testarossa-S

The Testarossa-S is a close combat Armor Frame of unknown origin operated by CARDINAL, Regional Administrator of the Aviary.

Unit Description & Combat Characteristics

 * The Testarossa-S is a radical design departure from the Corredo-based Testarossa-R. Its design is completely original and, like other Aviary machines, it appears to have no common ancestry with any known Armor Frame. Like its predecessor, its primary armaments are a pair of oversized grappling pincers, at the center of which are medium output beam saber/cannon combo emitters. The machine can operate as either a traditional human-operated AF or a Remote Frame. Its body is covered in transparent sections containing either additional cameras or E-Kraft Control Oscillators, providing the Testarossa-S with above-average cockpit visibility and exceptional aerial maneuverability.

Unit History

 * The Testarossa-S was first spotted in an underwater hangar located at KoBar's hidden New York FOB. When it was discovered by Knight and CINO, it was soon revealed to be capable of remote operation, having been outfitted with software derived from the TYRANT AI (though to what extent remains unknown). The machine appeared in a live combat zone for the first time during Session 10, when it was used to silence Tassos Pelagios and to menace Los Langaros at the West Ham FC Arena in London. Though it was destroyed in combat, CARDINAL was not at the controls, and it is unknown of it is the only unit of the line or if there may be reserve machines.
