Mek (Ark: Survival Evolved)/KieranH10

* Mek
* Mega Mek

## **Summary**:

The **Mek** is a powerful weapon from Ark: Survival Evolved, it is one of the few weapons capable of taking on Titans, and can combine into a larger **Mega Mek** which is strong enough to trade blows with the King Titan.

## **Information**:

**Name**: RX-103 MEK, Mek | RX-412 MegaMEK, Mega Mek, Ares

**Age**: Model was created by Santiago many years before the events of Ark: Extinction

**Source**: Ark: Survival Evolved

**Power Level**: Likely **High 6-C**, Possibly **Low 6-B** | At least **High 6-C**, Possibly **Low 6-B**

**Classification**: Battle Mech

**Users**: Santiago, Helena Walker, Li Mei Yin, Diana Altaras, Takaya Kazuma

**Necessities To Use**:

* **Pilots**: 1 | 1 (The Modern Mega Mek was redesigned by The One Who Wait to be piloted by as little as 1 user, The original design from Santiago utilized the pilots of the 4 Meks used to create it)
* **Fuel**: Element

**Size**: ~20 Metres Tall (It's Dossier incorrectly notes it to be 10.5 metres tall) | ~133 Metres Tall (It's Dossier incorrectly notes it to be 42 metres tall)

**Mass**: It's Dossier states it to weigh 48.3 Tons, however due to its size inconsistency this is likely incorrect | It's Dossier states it to weigh 193.2 Tons, however due to its size inconsistency this is likely incorrect, as a Mech of this size and stature would realistically weigh over 1 Million Tonnes

**Materials**: Black Pearl, Crystal, Element, Metal, Polymer

**Terrain**: Land, Air

**Notable Abilities**:

* Mek
* Mega Mek

* Large Size (Type 1)
* Energy Manipulation (The Meks TEK Saber is an energy sword)
* Plasma Manipulation (The Pistol that Meks wield fires Plasma Rounds, much like the Tek Rifle)
* Bodily Weaponry (Type 2) (Is built with a Plasma Pistol and Tek Saber, and add additional Modules onto its body to further weaponize itself)
* limited Flight (Can hover several metres above the ground at high speeds)
* Regeneration (Diana mentioned that her Mek was equipped with repair systems, however the degree to which they can repair damage is unknown)
* Forcefield Creation & Statistics Amplification (The MDSM grants Meks a deployable shield, which increases the Meks movement speed within its radius)
* Conventional Weaponry & Explosion Manipulation (MSCM and MRLM are both highly explosive weapons)
* Danmaku (MRLM releases 16 small rockets at once, which converge on the opponent)
* Self-Destruction (The Mek will self-destruct if brought to critical condition)
* Fusionism (Via Teleportation on an Atomic Level) (Santiago mentions that the Meks fusion process is done through Atomic Teleportation, reverse engineered from the Enforcers Teleportation abilities)

- Large Size (Type 2)

- Bodily Weaponry (Type 2) (Armed with a Vorpal Tek Cleaver which can supposedly cleave through mountains, and is stated to be the most powerful energy sword ever designed)

- Self-Destruction

- Energy Manipulation

**Energy Capacity**: Likely **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (Designed to fight against Titans, can be used by Survivors to fight against the King Titan. Should be comparable to the Meks piloted original by the original cast of Extinction, which could fight against Titans) | At least **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (The original Mega Mek piloted by Diana and Mei Yin was able to leave a large X-Shaped scar on the King Titan, the Mega Mek was designed to kill the King Titan, and when piloted by The Survivor is able to kill the Alpha King Titan. Should be at least proportionately as powerful as the smaller Meks that fuse to create it. Should be far stronger than Overseers according to it's designer Santiago's remarks.)

**Speed Level**: At least **Subsonic** Combat Speed (Meks can hit creatures and Titans and fight against each other) | At least **Subsonic** Combat Speed (While proportionately slower than regular Mek due to their size, they are still able to hit dozens of creatures at once)

**Strength Level**: Likely **Grade M** (Likely comparable to Titans, should at least be comparable to Guardians of the Arks) | At least **Grade G** (The Mega Mek is designed to combat the King Titan, and has knocked it around in the past)

**Resilience Level**: Likely **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (Capable of taking hits from other Meks and Titans) | At least **Large Island Scale**, Possibly **Small Country Scale** (Able to withstand attacks from the Alpha King Titan)

* **Resistances**: None Notable

**Arsenal**:

* **Standard**:
	+ **XBR-M-93R Plasma Pistol (Mek)**: A large plasma pistol utilizing Tek technology which has been compared to tank rounds in Caliber, fires plasma bolts in 3 round bursts.
	+ **OZ-13NV TEK Saber (Mek)**: The Tek energy blade that the Mek wields, designed for swinging at its opponents to harm groups in front of it.
	+ **OZ-52XX Vorpal TEK Cleaver (Mega Mek)**: A massively upscaled version of the Meks Tek Saber, stated by Santiago to be the most powerful energy blade ever created, and capable of cleaving through mountains.
* **Optional**:
	+ **M.D.S.M (Mek Deployable Shield Module) (Mek)**: The "*G-01S Mek Deployable Shield Module*" is a module for Mek which creates a Forcefield where deployed, this forcefield grants the Mek increased speed within its radius.
	+ **M.R.L.M (Mek Rocket Launching Module) (Mek)**: The "*G-02H Mek Rocket Launcher Module*" is a large rocket launcher module which fires in 16 round salvos which spread out, and then converge on the target.
	+ **M.S.C.M (Mek Siege Cannon Module) (Mek)**: The "*G-01W Mek Siege Cannon Module*" is a huge back mounted high-yield artillery cannon module, due to the size and caliber of this weapon, the Mek must anchor itself to the ground when firing, stopping it from moving.
	+ **M.O.M.I (MegaMek Operational Materialization Interface)**: The Module used within several Meks to activate the fusion process, should an Omega level threat be detected when this is active, then the nearby Meks will merge into a singular Mega Mek.

**Range**: **Tens of Metres** with Sword (It's size alone should ensure this), **Hundreds of Metres** with Plasma Pistol | **Hundreds of Metres** with Sword (Sheer size ensures this, can hit Titans from outside of their reach)

**Weaknesses**:

* Requires a pilot and sufficient fuel to function
* The Meks boosters and weaponry can overheat quickly when overused, which causes the Mek to function on a lower level.
* M.S.C.M cannot be used at close range.
* Mega Mek will only activate if it detects an Omega Level Threat such as the King Titan, and is only active for a limited time.

**Attacks**: None Notable

**Key**: Mek | Mega Mek

**Note**:

* This Profile covers the Mek model utilized by The Survivor, the models used by the original cast of Extinction will be included on their respective profiles.
* Santiago's belief that the Mega Mek is the perfect weapon to defeat the King Titan is incredibly useful for determining it's capabilities, and his statement "If there's anything out there that can overpower the Mega Mek, then it deserves to kill us" tells us a huge amount;
	+ Santiago was well aware of the likes of Overseers and the Arks, as the Santiago from Extinction is a reincarnated Santiago of Aberration, meaning he would understand the Arks almost fundamentally, and would have encountered, and killed the Overseer of the station.
		- He would also be aware of their immense capabilities, since the Aberration Ark was tearing itself apart despite its huge size.
	+ The Meks should at very least be vastly superior to the Modular Tek Bomb, which was made by Santiago out of scraps and element found on Aberration, Santiago believing that these weapons are the greatest thing he has created is a testament to the accomplishment he believes them to be in comparison.
	+ Santiage should also be aware of the Tek Nuke that he helped design in Aberration, which was able to blast apart the control tower of the station. So him insisting that 'anything that could beat the Meks deserved to kill us', would infer that the Meks are superior to this improvised bomb.
	+ The death of Santiago's original, natural body was what ended the war between the United Republic of Earth and the Terran Federation due to the prowess of his mind and weaponry, which confirms that he was alive to witness, or would have heard of (possibly even designed) the weaponry used to decimate New Zealand, as well as the west coast of another country.
		- Despite this, Santiago still believes that the Mega Mek is the only thing capable of killing the King Titan.
