La Mancha Mejorada

The La Mancha Mejorada is a unique close combat Armor Frame operated by Antonio 'Tony' Cervantes, veteran soldier of Los Langaros and Elite Ops agent of the Chrome Road.

Unit Description & Combat Characteristics

 * The Mejorada is the conceptual successor of the original La Mancha. Produced as an original frame and outfitted to Tony's specifications, it is designed to dominate enemies in close quarters through a combination of control algorithms based on fighting disciplines from Spanish antiquity and special defensive features that make it difficult to pin down at any range.


 * Its external armor is designed to resemble the outfits of Spanish Renaissance-era duelists, as well as the Mexican folk hero 'Zorro'. The sombrero-like head features a ring of additional cameras, offering above-average cockpit visibility.

Armaments & Features

 * Dueling Sabers
 * Stored in recharge racks on the 'ribs' of the Mejorada, these specially-designed beam sabers emit an additional beam 'bell guard' to protect the AF's hands from being damaged in close exchanges.


 * 'Cazador' Grapple Arm
 * The Mejorada's right hand and much of its right forearm are comprised of a specially-designed jet-propelled grappling claw that replaces a similar feature on the original La Mancha. The oversized hand features specially-coated anti-armor blades for fingertips and a small beam saber emitter in the palm. The jet contained in the wrist uses solid fuel cartridges that are stored in the forearm and replaced after each launch. The carbon bundle wire that secures the grappling claw to the reel mechanism is beam resistant and can be used to ensnare targets.

Unit History

 * The Mejorada was first deployed during Los Langaros' rescue op at KoBar's hidden New York FOB. It again saw field use in London, where it destroyed the Testarossa-S in close combat.
