PHALANX-ECT

The is a Walker-class mecha designed by PROJECT. Due to its complex design and adaptability, it is built as an autonomous massive combat mecha designed to defend fortified locations and occasionally serve as an anti-armour platform.
==Overview==
The PHALANX Walker-class mecha series' third version is the ECT. It has a ruggedized design that emphasises armour protection, although it is heavily laced with titanium alloys to decrease weight. The machine is powered by an IC3-Eb9 plasma reactor, which was chosen over a conventional nuclear reactor as the main power source; yet, this makes it a fully safe design, and doing maintenance is not difficult due to the lack of radiation or the complexity of SCOUT Walker mechas. It moves quickly because to YMC Accelerator limbs that are both lightweight and well armoured.
The 3.011 "Brass Knuckles" of the PHALANX ECT are a temperature resistant Brass-Nevium composite cast around the joints of each of the mecha's fingers, considerably increasing the impact potential of each punch. In turn, they are supported by a pair of retractable Stingray blades laced with carbon nanotubes capable of channelling heat energy at temperatures exceeding 900°F and capable of damaging and melting any solid or live target in close combat. For ranged weapons, it is equipped with a special variation of the SWARM missile launcher system, the XL MK. III.
Stingray swords come in a pair by standard, but most battlefield footage only shows ECTs using one in combat.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*Initially, the ECT is an extremely classified design. However, they have been present since SHADOW: Ninja of the Megacorporation.
*Armed with twin stinger blades, not one. It typically uses the left blade in combat, as the right arm had more room for missiles and the use of fists in return.
*Arguably the best Walker-class mecha to date. Notably, its weak point seems to be the optic in the centre over anything else.
*The ECT is equipped with a self-destruct function, which allows to to prevent being reprogrammed in the wrong hands.
*The 's gross weight is 185 tons.
=== Developmental Notes===
*After PROJECT fell, all s have been destroyed whilst dismantling efforts to recycle its parts have been omitted to prevent it to be sold to private contractors or criminal organisations in the black market.
*Some claim that Sigma R&D and Stryke Blast Initiative secretly stole a few for their own use.
