Set 9 "Jiro God" Ten Swords Unit 3

"Go, Howling Dog, it's up to you!"

—Edward. Tyras ("Jiro God" Driver)

"Due to technical problems, the positioning of the No. 3 aircraft has been changed from the expected sniper type to a body that is good at street fighting and medium and long-range shooting."

—Dr. Hohenheim (Deputy Director, Humanoid Weapon R&D, Moore Chamber of Commerce)

"Modeling"

The main color of the whole body of "Erlang God" is silver-gray, and the torso is slender. The head has three sharp horns (antennas), and on the left shoulder is written "Erlang God" in kanji.

The backpack of the "Jiro God" can be transformed into a self-propelled robot "Howling Dog", which is about 5 meters tall when standing up, and has slender limbs that can move in a jet shape. When folded, it can be transformed into a jet armored car, which can carry a small number of passengers.

"Armament"

A long laser rifle, a laser rifle, and two laser knives stored in the cuffs and back.

Special laser three-pointed two-edged knife.

Smoke grenades, flashbang grenades, and small rockets.

(The above equipment can be manually installed on the Howling Dog for the Whistling Dog to use.) )

Body Positioning

A humanoid weapon that specializes in medium and long-range shooting and street fighting.

"Origin of the Name"

Chinese mythological character Erlang God and his divine dog.

《Development Process》

After the R&D department of the Morr Chamber of Commerce spent several years developing the Ten Swords No. 1 machine, the development of the remaining nine Ten Swords series machines was immediately finalized.

Each Ten Swords series body has its own unique positioning, which is used to test the performance of various technologies in real combat. The No. 3 aircraft was originally positioned as a "long-range sniper body", and its wingman was also present to protect the main body that was sniping. However, at that time, the laser rifle of the No. 1 machine had not yet been completed, and it was only after the completion of the development team that the developers found that the technology in their hands could not guarantee that the laser rifle would damage the gun due to overheating during long-distance sniping.

(Ordinary laser rifle firing is instantaneous, but sniping requires a high-heat laser beam to last in the body of the gun for a longer period of time, so the durability of the barrel is required.) )

Because repeated tests could not solve this problem, the developers had to abandon the original plan (later the Star Alliance completed the development of the laser sniper rifle by shooting one shot instead of one barrel), and changed the laser sniper rifle to a longer sniper rifle that was easier to achieve, although the range and power were not as expected, but it also had a certain tactical value, and the positioning of the No. 3 machine was also modified.

In terms of the development of the main body, the developers had the experience of developing the No. 1 and No. 2 units, and were able to design the No. 3 units with more mature technologies. Therefore, the figure of the No. 3 machine is relatively slender, which reduces the area of the bullet. Although this design idea was not carried forward to the later development of the Ten Swords series body, some models were not suitable for slender body types.

The wingman of the No. 3 may be small, but it also has a lot of technology: jet movement allows it to move quickly in difficult terrain; Autonomous AI will analyze the battlefield situation on its own and fight on its own according to the driver's simple commands; The weapon adaptation system greatly improves the tactical feasibility. Rifles and rocket magazines only need to be mounted on the back, while the laser knife can be mounted on the wingman's head, and although the laser knife has a limited angle of movement, it can be used wonders in certain situations.

Because the shape of the wingman resembles an animal lying on all fours, like a loyal dog following the subject. Therefore, the code names of the No. 3 aircraft and wingman became "Jiro God" and "Roaring Sky Dog". Different from the complicated code name of the No. 2 machine, the R&D personnel like the code name of the No. 3 machine.

"Drivers and Records"

Ten Swords No. 3 was sent to the North American Rescue League, but due to its internal management chaos, the pilot ended up beating each other out of the age-qualified candidates, Edward. Tyras.

Edward. Tyras was short in stature, but there are many legends about him. After becoming the pilot of the No. 3 aircraft, because he was dissatisfied with the timid and negative attitude of the league's top management, he took the No. 3 aircraft and left the alliance under the banner of recovering his hometown of New York City. No one expected that he would be able to defeat the lax New York defenders on his own, drive out the evil forces in the city, and take control of the city for several weeks. Later, a small HER force kidnapped Edward. The refugees that Tyras protected and coerced them into surrendering. In order to rescue the refugees, Edward teamed up with the passing Osiris, and later joined the Osiris, becoming a member of Team Z.
