[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Hyper Plasma Drive:[/b] Like other Gears, Flame Talk is powered by a battery-operated Hyper Plasma Drive.
[b]Hyper Plasma Booster:[/b] A special mode developed for the new Gear Fighters made by Earth, they are able to overdrive their reactors to dramatically increase performance at the cost of draining the battery a lot faster.
[b]Tough Armor:[/b] Flame Talk is the best armoured of the new Gear Fighters, however because it was built around a wheeled chassis instead of legs it is less agile then the others.
[b]Drive Install:[/b] Flame Talk was designed to work with one of the artificially created Data Weapons produced by GEAR, the Wolf Spartan, and can also use the mysterious Data Weapon Black Panther.
[b]Wild Hunt:[/b] After obtaining the power of Wolf Spartan, Flame Talk gained the ability to better sense where it's enemies are, increasing it's accuracy.
[b]Optical Camouflage:[/b] After obtaining the power of Black Panther, Flame Talk gained the ability to blend itself in with the surrounding terrain, making it harder to see and attack. This ability does not require Black Panther to be installed.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]Melee:[/b] Standard punches.
[b]30mm Finger Vulcans:[/b] Powerful vulcan cannons mounted in each of Flame Talk's fingers.
[b]Fire String:[/b] Flame Talk shoots thin rays of light from the panels on the front of it's legs that slices anything they hit.
[b]Twin 4-Barrel Linear Gun:[/b] Powerful cannons using the turbines on Flame Talk's back. When Wolf Spartan and Phalanx Panther are installed, they go over the linear guns, however it doesn't affect their use at all.
[b]Senkou Raijin Geki:[/b] Flame Talk winds up the turbines in it's arms and spins around while shooting lightning from them, damaging and potentially stunning any enemy struck.
[b]Double Data Weapon Final Attack:[/b] When both Wolf Spartan and Black Panther are installed, Flame Talk can combine their Final Attacks into a single massive attack. However, it requires the Hyper Plasma Booster to be active.

[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The first Gear Fighter made by Earth, after the war against Gulfer. A prototype design, Flame Talk uses wheeled treads instead of legs to help support itself. It was originally designed to use the artificial Data Weapon Wolf Spartan, however it was able to gain the power of the mysterious Black Panther as well.

Flame Talk was designed to be piloted by 3 people, however the machine chose Shuji Tsubaki alone as it's pilot. While other GEAR personnel have tried to assist him, the Gear Fighter seems to reject them all.
