Pro-Serie

The Pro-Serie Extreme Gear is a line of Extreme Gear designed by Anatoly Levinski and used heavily by the Guardian Units of Nations, especially the 56th Regiment. It is a custom-made Gear with higher specs than regular Gear, designed more for warfare than racing. Most Gears are standarized, with some customized for specific individuals based on their skills, while others are customized for specialist teams.
== Backstory ==
As the R&D department of GUN gained momentum, the idea for versatile personal transport for the infantry units started to come up in discussions. The obvious solution would be Extreme Gear, as it is easily packed and is tried-and-true in terms of mobility. However, during the conception phase, a problem came up in terms of security : most, if not all known Extreme Gear designs were based from Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik's design during the EX Grand Prix, and thus were prone for sabotage and datamining.
The idea would come to a halt until the Babylonians were brought up in the discussion. While Eggman's design were common, the Extreme Gear were hardly his original concept, as the enigmatic Babylonian race was the original inventor of the Gear. A team, involving Anatoly Levinski and Kori-Lu 'Truthseeker' the Echidna, was then assembled to trace the last known link of the race : the Babylonian Rogues.
After tracking the Rogues, the team was able to negotiate with the group's engineer, Wave the Swallow. The initial negotiation was rough and financially costly, but they were able to peacefully secure the Babylonian Rogue's Extreme Gear design blueprint as well as sufficient information relating to the first iteration of the Extreme Gear.
With the original blueprints, they were able to circumvent the security loopholes commonly used to track the Gear's specs and sabotage it from within. The first three prototypes were Levinski's Nitrous Wind, Gilfred Thompson Nitroglycerin and Aoki Morishima's Twinblade, based respectively from Board, Air Ride and Bike chassis. It didn't take long for GUN to finalize the design and mass produce them, starting from the Federation branch.
== Specifications ==
Pro-Serie are appearance are based on regular Extreme Gear, but are noticeably bulkier due to the armored plating installed in it. To keep the speed from being hampered by the weight, the internal engines were made more potent than usual. The Gear all utilizes Chaos Drive to satisfy the hefty requirement. All of Pro-Serie Extreme Gear are equipped with security countermeasures. It is resistant to EMP, hacking and datamining.
Only select few of Pro-Serie can transform from one form to another (Ex.: Board to Bike). However, most are able to pack into a disc form.
=== Classes ===
The Pro Serie are separated into several classes, each with their own specialties
* Interceptor Class - A board Gear, designed for tailing other vehicles. Best maneuverability. Some are equipped with tow cables to either latch onto bigger vehicles, or trip other Extreme Gears.
* Recon Class - A board Gear, designed for scouting. It's the fastest of the Pro-Serie. While most Pro-Serie can run with minimum generated turbulence, the Recon can entirely negate it.
* Hammerhead Class - A bike Gear, most commonly used by GUN personnel. It has the best balance and are able to ram into any vehicles with ease while absorbing the impact effect on its' own.
* Cargo Class - A bike Gear designed for best endurance and protection. It's used mostly for personnel or cargo transport.
* Battle Fortress Class - Technically a bike Gear, however, the design makes it resemble more of a tank than an actual Extreme Gear. The Battle Fortress Class is equipped with armaments for its' passengers to fire from. Bulkiest and slowest of the Pro Serie, it is unable to be packed into a disc.
* Eagle Class - An Air Ride Gear, specialized in reconnaissance from air. Some are equipped with personal stealth generator.
* Fighter Class - An Air Ride Gear, specialized in aerial combat and bombing runs. It's the most commonly used Air Ride gear. While unable to go toe to toe against an actual fighter jet, it is capable to take down helicopters.
*Eldritch Class - A bike Gear unique to the Soleannan branch. It is based on Hammerhead class, but with some of its' armor replaced with runic plating. As a result, it's a lot more resistant to magic, and has some extra magical properties on its' own.
