Apatotron

[Mech Technology]

In 3300 the first operational Apatotron was released, inaugurating a new series of BFM of 100 tons, superior weight to that of its sauropods predecessors, Aspis, Regis and Ignis, which it exceeded by 10 tons and superior by 5 tons to Boreas or Anubis, that Apatotron replaced as the heaviest of all Mechs, although not the mightiest for a long time due a lack of adequate technology to create decent equipment modules for the new 100 tons series.

Following the discovery in Yomi of the Sauropods Mechs designed by the Forerunner Droch'ah, the agent of the Shogunate Tanzan Kimura found the blueprints of an unfinished Droch'ah project, after infiltrating the archaeological prospection in which the first Aspis was found.


Although Droch'ah never completed the production of the original project, the Shogunate engineers managed to unravel the processes enough to develop their first built prototype, which they baptized with the name of Apatotron, given the similarity of the Forerunner blueprints with the  Apatosaurus, an extinct sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic period.


However, the Shogunate lost control of the production monopoly by untying Toshiko from the project, who in her advisory capacity had been indispensable in the development of Apatotron. Toshiko in revenge stole and published in the galactic free network the blueprints of the project. Star Factories turned out to be the main beneficiary, since they put all their efforts into initiating the production of the monstrous Mech, assigned under the direction of the Patrician House of Midha.
