WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. ARM-MOUNTED 110mm MACHINEGUNS (4): Mounted on each arm of the Gerbera Tetra are two 110mm machineguns. This is the only built in weapon system on the Mobile Suit.
Primary Purpose: Close Range Assault
Mega-Damage: 3d6x10+20 M.D.per twin 10 round burst each.
Range: 3000ft
Rate of Fire: Bursts equal to pilots combinded number of attacks.
Payload: 100 rounds per Machinegun, that's 10 twin bursts per arm.

2. 0.38 MW BEAM SABERS: You know, kick ass energy sword. One stored in each shoulder.
Primary Purpose: Melee Combat
Mega-Damage: 5d6x10 M.D.
Range: The blade has a range of 15-30 ft (5-10 m) and is adjustable.
Payload: The beam saber can function continuously for 60 seconds (4 melee rounds) before running out of power. Once discharged, the beam saber must be returned to the Tetra's shoulder where it can recharge at a rate of 1 second of power per 30 seconds of charging.

3. BEAM MACHINEGUN: This is the main weapon used by the Tetra. Unfortunatly due to the specific energy needs of the Beam Machinegun the E-Caps it uses cannot be switched in the field.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: Short Burst: 4d6x10 M.D., Long Burst: 6d6x10 M.D., Full-Melee Burst: 1d6x100 M.D.
Range: 4000ft
Rate of Fire: 4 bursts per melee.
Payload: 30 short bursts, 15 long bursts (equals 2 short bursts), 5 full-melee bursts (equals 6 short bursts).

4. OPTIONAL HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Punch does 3D6 M.D., Body Block does 3D6 M.D., Kick does 4D6 M.D., Leap Kick does 5D6 M.D., Stomp does 3D6 M.D., but is limited to targets no more than 16 feet tall. Body flip does 2D6 M.D. Pilots who have experience with giant robots get full bonuses from Robot Basic combat training.

5. SYSTEMS NOTE: The Gerbera Tetra is an agile space mobile suit. +2 to strike, parry & dodge, +1 attack per melee. W/ Sturm Booster, +4 to dodge, +2 attacks.

OPTICAL TARGETING SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have very sophisticated optical tracking systems to assist the pilot in targeting. This system provides the pilot with a +2 to hit when using projectile or beam weapons. However, since the tracking system is optical, the target must be IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT from the MS in order to get the bonus.
COMBAT COMPUTER: Contains data on up to 120 different vehicles (both friend and foe). Can call up and project data on the HUD screens in the cockpit.
"SKIN TOUCH" COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have sensitive microphones in their cockpits that can pick up a pilot's voice and project it to vibrating devices on the surface of the hand. By grasping hands with another Mobile Suit, the first mecha can transmit these vibrations to the other mecha. Sensors on the other mecha translate these vibrations into sounds and projects them via speakers in the cockpit. The result is a secure method of communication between mecha that cannot be intercepted by enemy scanners.
LASER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: The Gerbera Tetra has a laser based communications system that allows the mecha to communicate over long distances. The only disadvantage is that the mobile suits have to be looking at each other in order communicate.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS: Backup; usually doesn't work due to Minovski interference.
COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEM: Identical to the system described on Pg. 214 of the Rifts RPG book.
