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 Bow Matey was used as a prototype 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.
