RSF-MKIVa Revolta Master Type

- Onyx

- 2x Ankle Swarmfire Missile Launchers

The RSF-MKIVa Revolta Master Type is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Revolta Master Type is regarded as the ultimate and final version of the Revolta Ground Type, intended for mass-production and the Mercury Legion's security for prolonging their rule over Decholon. However, extensive costs, the Harbinger Uprising, and limited testing meant only a few of these machines were ever constructed.

## Armaments

- Nanolaminate Expandable Shield: A less common Shield design limited to designated pilots. Using a multi-layer design, each of the shield’s segments extend outward to increase its defensive radius. Due to this feature, the shield is incredibly portable and can even serve as shoulder armor when needed.

- Retractable Blade Gauntlet: This unique melee weapon is sometimes used by aquatic units, due to its compact and portable design. It consists of a razor sharp blade, affixed to a steel gauntlet. When activated, the blade can slide out from the gauntlet and be used for melee attacks. Heated variants of this weapon were designed, which were also used during the tests of this machine.

- Ankle Swarmfire Missile Launcher: A multi-tube missile launcher is mounted on each ankle. They are most effective in crowd-control and suppression attacks, due to their individual power being minimal. After being fully depleted, the assembly can be purged.

- 60mm Carbine: Being a less common alternative to the 40mm ASU, the 60mm Carbine is a weapon more tailored towards infantry marksmen instead of general soldiers. Featuring an adjustable scope, semi-automatic receiver and recoil compensator, the weapon is perfect for accurate and powerful shots. The only problem with the Carbine compared to the ASU is its staggering capabilities. Since it relies more on precision instead of fire rate to attack enemies, the pilot cannot attack the body of the Garrisai, and instead aim for its joints or head camera. This makes it difficult to use, but in practice, invaluable in battles. A three-round burst fire receiver is also available should the pilot using the weapon choose one.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Psuedo-NU METACOM System: A Mercury Legion replica of the NU METACOM System that was built using combat data from the Valtheræ and Skybreaker. While barely surpassing the effectiveness of the standard METACOM System, its lack of neural modification in exchange for a low-intelligence AI meant that it could still deal a substantial amount of power. The AI and Pilot would work together in a similar way to that of the BURSTRAID.

## History

Developed in the closing hours of the events of the *Harbinger - Last Gamble* Novel, this Garrisai was created from the combat data gathered from the battles against the Celestial Strider Lacerta. However, testing for this machine was cut off in the start of the Harbinger Uprising. Because of the Mercury Legion's fall, most of this machine's data was lost and never recovered.

## Trivia

- The Revolta Master Type is the only mass-production based machine outfitted with a NU METACOM System. It completes the trilogy of ace grunt units for the Mercury Legion, with the Castel Ground Type III for the LCR and the Insurgency Delta Type for the UNI.
