[b]Technical and Historical Notes:[/b]

When Vulture met up with the secret United Nations Earth research base, they decided to give the aging Gunmaster and Leopard Tank an overhaul with new technologies that they had been working on.

The biggest upgrade to the Leopard Tank was that the mechanics were able to rebuild the legs, allowing the Leopard to operate as a normal MS. However, they also designed the legs to be able to shift back into tank mode, as Roybea had become so accustomed to piloting in that fashion. This also allowed them to leave the existing weapons, as well as add new ones, without needing to worry about stability. A few weapons also recieved upgrades to increase their effectiveness. The Leopard Tank also benefited greatly from new armour, which increased it's durability.
