Bow Matey

[b]MXM-DM-RC-B Bow Matey[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] Matey-grade ablative armour
[b]Height:[/b] 13.2m
[b]Weight:[/b] 45.3 metric tons
[b]Pilot(s):[/b] None
[b]Creator(s):[/b] Melarnic Galactic Merchant Exchange


[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Microwave Receiver:[/b] Since the Squires don't have full engines installed, the Knight Matey beams energy to them using microwave transmitters.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]60mm CIWS:[/b] Shoulder mounted vulcans for anti-personnel and anti-missile use.
[b]Squire's Sword:[/b] A shortsword sheathed on the Sword Matey's hip.
[b]Auto-Crossbow:[/b] A weapon shaped like a crossbow, which folds out from the Bow Matey's left arm. While it's called a crossbow, it's actually a machine gun.
[b]Auto-Crossbow [Energy Bolt]:[/b] A weapon shaped like a crossbow, which folds out from the Bow Matey's left arm. The alternate mode rapid-fires low-powered energy bolts.
[b]Longbow:[/b] A weapon shaped like a longbow, which folds out from the Bow Matey's right arm. Instead of pulling back a string, the "arrows" are pulled out of the quiver on the Bow Matey's back (which can fold into the back when not required) and loaded into a firing chamber in the bow. The "arrows" are rocket propelled, and can accurately strike targets at a very long distance depending on the height of the Bow Matey relative to the target.
[b]Longbow [Net Arrow]:[/b] A weapon shaped like a longbow, which folds out from the Bow Matey's right arm. Another type of arrow stored in the Bow Matey's quiver releases an electrified net over the target, shorting out it's systems.
[b]Longbow [Energy Bolt]:[/b] A weapon shaped like a longbow, which folds out from the Bow Matey's right arm. Instead of firing an arrow, the Bow Matey uses what appears to be a prototype Variable Strength Energy Cannon to "charge" up a powerful energy blast.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

One of the Knight Matey's Squire drones, designed for long-range combat. Taking the design concept literally, the Bow Matey's conventional weapons were all remodeled to look like bows and arrows, giving it a very unique look. While most of the Bow Matey's arsenal is fairly commonplace for the era, it was equipped with a Variable Strength Energy Cannon similar to the one found on Matey Cannon. Because of this, it is commonly thought that the Squires were used as prototypes for technologies later used in R-Matey. However, given the R-Matey's modular packs, it is possible that it was actually the other way around.
