"This thing flies, it's much faster than a fighter jet."

— Billy. Brigadier Colonel Bard

"The Origin of the Name"

Alexander the Great's companion cavalry.

"Modeling"

The standard model is painted in white, has a huge wing on the back, a tapered head, slender arms, and relatively thick legs, which can support the huge wing when standing.

It can switch between the humanoid weapon form and the fighter form, and it is the only deformable humanoid weapon with energy production in various forces.

"Armament"

High-speed machine guns, repeating machine guns, thermal sabers, high-speed smoothbore guns, missiles.

《Development Process》

The New European Union (NEU) was originally a leader in fighter technology, but in the "Carthaginian War", the fighters of various forces were crushed by the humanoid weapons of the HER, forcing the NEU to start paying attention to this new type of weapon.

Compared with other forces, because of the huge investment in fighter research and development, NEU is unwilling to easily abandon their fighter development technology and ideas. The first humanoid weapon they made was almost a matter of adding hands and feet to a fighter jet with an enlarged size. This kind of four-like combat effectiveness is naturally sad, and this model has also become the laughing stock of various forces.

Having learned from the pain, NEU is determined to convince the various forces in the development of humanoid weapons. As a result, more capital and better talent are concentrated. In the face of HER's continuous encroachment on its cosmic forces, the NEU top management withstood the pressure and finally waited for the birth of the "partner cavalry".

As soon as the "partner cavalry" entered the battlefield, they achieved good results. In terms of performance alone, the "partner cavalry" is stronger than the eagle, and the deformable mechanism also gives it greater flexibility and the ability to fly in the atmosphere, which is a headache for HER soldiers.

However, the disadvantages of the "partner cavalry" are also obvious, this thing is too expensive to build. Because of the complexity of the system, it is also difficult to train drivers. Therefore, the number of "partner cavalry" who can go to the battlefield is limited, and they often have to face enemies several times the number of themselves. Therefore, the standard tactics of the "partner cavalry" are to hit and run, come back to fight after running, and run again after fighting. Such repetitive high-intensity combat puts a lot of pressure on the drivers, so the NEU treats its own pilots with the best of all the forces, and if they pass the test, they are awarded the rank of lieutenant (because there are also the least of them).

Another drawback was that the wings behind the partner cavalry did not have a storage structure, which limited movement in street fighting and narrow terrain, but now NEU is trying to solve this problem.

Armament, because of the tactics of the partner cavalry, the traditional machine gun gun was replaced by the high-speed machine gun developed by the NEU. This gun has increased bullet speed and power, and can be used in fighter mode. The disadvantage is that there is no burst shooting function, and the shooting interval is also large, which increases the difficulty of driver training.

Another type of firearm is the repeating machine gun, which sacrifices the power of a single shot and increases the burst rate, and is mainly used in the form of a humanoid weapon.

The last special weapon is the high-speed smoothbore gun, which can be used in flight like the high-speed machine gun, with an increased bullet rate, but the disadvantage is that the number of spare ammunition is small.

《Improved Model》

Although the drivers of each of the companion cavalry were elite, among them there were still the best of the five elites. NEU has specially made different companion cavalry models for them, which are:

Western European Macedonian Legion, Billy. Brigadier Colonel Bard. The special machine is a black painted "Brutus". The maximum increase in full performance is also the pressure that only Billy can withstand the pressure of high performance.

(The name of the body commemorates Lucius Junius Brutus, the first consul of the Roman Republic)

Mediterranean Spartan Legion, Abraham. Captain Ferrari. The special machine is the red painted "Leonidas", which has excellent defense and has a special electric spear. (The name commemorates King Leonidas of Sparta, who led 300 Spartan warriors against the invasion of the Persian Empire during the Battle of Thermopylae)

Nordic Viking Legion, Harold. Captain Grylls. The special aircraft is painted blue with "Bluetooth", and it has the ability to fly on the surface and move underwater.

(The name of the airframe commemorates the famous Danish king Harald Bluetooth King)

Central European Frankish Army, Charlotte. Captain Martin. The special machine is the green painted "Joan of Arc", the body shape is relatively feminine, and there is a special thermal heavy sword.

(The name of the body commemorates Joan of Arc)

Anglo-Saxon Regiment of the British Islands, William. Brigadier Smith. The special machine is the silver-gray painted "Alfred", and it is equipped with a special Gatling.

(The name of the mech commemorates Alfred the Great)

Spanish Legion of the Iberian Peninsula, Jose. Captain Louis. Information on the special aircraft is unknown.
