==History==
G.U.N, in order to stay at the forefront of military technology, had already acquired a number of Titan-class Battle Suits from Hammerforge Industries, but quickly found the failings of the Titan-class - it was a jack of all trades sort of suit. It had brilliant performance, but it was weighty and harder to manoeuvre without using the inbuilt jets. In order to create a specialised suit, G.U.N. contracted a team of Mobians from Stauten-Krauzach to create their own light battle suit, with the stipulation that it would have to be optimised as an anti-air and anti-infantry piece. As such, the Pounder was noted to be faster than the Titan, although that speed was gained through the removal of some of the armor. The suit was overall lighter, as well, weighing in at five tonnes. As such, it remained solely G.U.N. in ownership, although a few suits salvaged from the battlefield and repaired have appeared in private ownership and the hands of mercenaries. 
==Features & Attributes==
Weighing in at five tonnes, the Pounder-type Battle Suit is an interesting piece of combat armor. As with most combat suits, the fastest speed it can reach is roughly half of a comparable class walker design. In this situation, the Pounder-type suit is capable of reaching speeds of up to 65kph. For a combat suit with a living being inside, this is impressive. Some suits, specifically those in use with the G.U.N. Sixth Army Division sacrifice further armor, but have been seen with suits reaching 80kph, making them drastically more dangerous against aircraft. 
The primary weapon fitted to these suits is a detachable missile launcher on each shoulder, which is marked for anti-air and anti-emplacement duties, due mostly due to the targeting computer's restricted target recognition module. However, a single missile is more than capable of taking down an aircraft with a direct hit, which balances out the fact that each suit has only two shots before needing a resupply. When the launchers are detached, the suit must be taken out of commission for a week to fit new launchers, but while they are detached, the suit's clearance improves, as does it's manoeuvrability by shedding some of the weight. 
The secondary weapon systems are dependent on both pilot preference and on the mission objectives. Each arm ends in a modular weapons mount, which can interface with a wide variety of weapons. These range from basic melee tools such as claws and blades to anti-personnel lasers and machine guns, to extra anti-air rockets and even a few anti-vehicle weapons, despite the requirement for manual targeting on those weapons. Due to the suit's reliance on resupplies to keep the two missiles loaded, ballistics-based weaponry are still common sights, although a favourite weapon seen mounted by these suits is the L11D1 Laser Cannon, produced by the same company as the suit. These laser weapons are quite effective against light vehicles and tanks, although the weapon can easily put the hurt onto other battle armored soldiers, it's main use. 
One of the key features of the suit, however, is the targeting slave module built onto the targeting computer. Once a signal of a specific frequency is sent to the suit from a command module-equipped unit, and each unit has their own frequency, the targeting computer can focus it's fire onto whatever the command unit is targeting, providing them with an automatic barrage of fire. Typically, a unit of Pounder-type suits will have a single light walker fitted with a command unit assigned with them, which can use it's higher speed and greater weapons loadout to help protect the anti-air/anti-infantry suited soldiers from tanks and other land-based threats which could otherwise mince them, and at the same time get their targeting computers to target units that they otherwise would be unable to, such as tanks and light vehicles, neither of which copes well with being struck with missiles or other anti-vehicle weaponry the wearer may mount. 
Soldiers who achieve a certain level of experience with these suits gain an unusual module upgrade to their targeting computers, retaining the slave unit, but giving the suit the ability to call in a GPS scan of an area to feed information back to allies, especially those in high-speed aircraft who appreciate the area scan. Each elite suit can call in only a single low-altitude GPS Satellite into a certain radius, and then it only lasts for ten minutes or so. Even with that, however, a commander can position multiple elite Pounder-suited soldiers in an array near the enemies position and get them to activate their suits GPS feeds to get an instant feed of the battle in progress, which can grant a tactician a variety of new ideas and methods to deal with a situation. 
==Variants==
No true variant of the suit exists, barring differences in armor and speed between suits. Each division has it's own preference for armor thickness and speed, with the heaviest armor being found on units from the Seventh Division, while the Sixth possesses the fastest suits. 
==Known Wearers==
*Tanya Borus - A soldier from the G.U.N. Sixth Army Division, Tanya wears this armor with pride. As a soldier in the Guardian's Devotion, her armor is painted overall white, with bronze on the knees, missile launchers and the weapon mount joint-covers, as well as red on the front of the shoulders. Her personal preferred secondary weapons are an L11D1 Laser Cannon, and a fluid gun to push infantry away without killing, and also to put out fires if needed.
