A one time prototype that was constructed just in time for the Ronin Wars by Alshain Weapons, the Red Fox Zero is a reasonably fast 45 ton quadruped. With a top speed of 81kph and a jump range of 120 meters, it is quite an agile machine even by late Succession Wars standards, though it runs just a little hot. The thirteen heat sinks onboard are not quite enough to cope with the pair of large lasers on its back. The medium laser mounted right below the pilot's feet provides a little extra stopping power at short range, especially when the Red Fox Zero is running hot or is attempting to volley fire. It looks like its namesake at a full run, but the head would jut this way and that as the prototype's head gyroscope could not compensate for its gait. Because it could not be corrected, only one was ever produced. This design was picked up nearly 200 years later and converted into an OmniMech by (officially) Luthien Armor Works.
