BBG01 Bubblegum Walker aka Exoframe

"Gunwalker Exoframe Weapon Platforms are the pinnacle of modern technology. Current military doctrine depends on them. Historic victories were built on their success, and here at Walker-Threshold Museum, you can see the very first, the BBG-01 Bubblegum Walker. Built during the first assault on Naramken, it shocked the Hemolef and Dzatic conquerors enough that reinforcements from Oogla could come in and save the day."

Exoframe Weapon Platforms are divided into several types although minor variations exist.

  • Swordwalker-class Exoframe, a biped model, with upright stance, up to 6 meters long
  • Swordspider-class, an octopod model, with crouched stance, up to 6 meters long
  • Swordpanther-class, a quadrupel model, with crouched stance, up to 6 meters long
  • Gunwalker-class, a quadruped model, with upright stance, 6 to 20 meters high
  • Gunspider-class, an octopod model, with crouched stance, 6 to 20 meters long
  • Gunpanther-class, a quadruped model, with crouched stance, 6 to 20 meters long
  • Missilehouse-class, most are decapod models, greater than 20 meters in width and length
  • Missilebunker-class, more are icosapod models(20 legs), greater than 40 meters in width and length
  • Missilearena-class, anything larger, usually mounted on exotic arrangement of legs, greater than 60 meters in dimension
  • There is some controversy if the Missile types are truly exoframes, or something different. But they function on the same combination of Mobile Fusion Plants, Gravito-repulsive shields, Laser Exoframe Weapons, Plasma Exoframe Weapons and Coilguns, as well as carrying the hinted-at Ion-propelled Missiles, just in larger sizes. And all of them carry enough spare power to be pluggable into the power grid as emergency power supplies. The largest available are usually preferred for this task as they are less affected by being immobile
