Koenig MonsterBase Hull: Custom Transforming vehicle (shuttle/bipedal robotic vehicle)
Length: 64m (shuttle) / 44m (biped)
Width: 62m (shuttle) / 24m (biped)
Height: 19.6m (shuttle) / 22.5m (biped)
Mass: 264,432 kg
Drive Type: 3x Compact Fusor (powerplant) / 4x atmospheric capable arc fusion reactionless drives
Drive Rating: 0.06c (shuttle) / 45 km/h (biped)
Armament: 4x 155mm railgun
2x triple 250mm rocket launcher (AGM-84 sized arm mount)
2x quad 84mm rocket launcher (Carl Gustav sized arm mount)
1x anti personal flamer (chin mount)
1x anti personal .72 chain gun (chin mount)
Primary Manufacturer:
Mars Base Sara
Owner: Gearheads
Flag of Record:
Fenspace Convention
Launched: April 2nd, 2014
Purpose: Self propelled Artillery Platform
Primary Crew: Gojira (AI)
pilot, gunner, mechanic
4 Exocomps
Operational Status:
active
The
Koenig Monster is the brainchild of a group of Gearhead around a mecha
enthusiast named Barricade. Designed during the height of the Boskone
War this machine was from the ground up intended for combat operations
in an offensive support role as self propelled artillery platform.
However
the design process and some problems with actual support by OGJ caused
the project to be delayed again and again until the Boskone War was over
when the Koenig Monster was officially put into service by the
Gearheads.
With
its impressive armament and bulk of the transformative systems it is
already large at the base, but the slow speed of the actual
transformation and the slow ground speed makes it necessary to carry a
large amount of armor. Said armor is a laminated mix of various battle
proven alloys that were forced in microgravity to get a monocrystalline
structure. In its structure is it similar to ‘dane Cobham armor.
Additionally
the system is from the ground designed to be modular and capable of
being repaired and serviced with ease. There are also 5 slots for larger
additional modules.
The following systems have be added to these slots since 2014:
during extended testing in May 2014 in a holographic small scale copy
of Tokyo, the Koenig Monsters AI awoke, a high Gamma to low Beta level
AI, modeled after the King of Monsters, Gojira. However he proves to be
rather useful in piloting the Koenig Monster.
Known QuirksKing of Monsters:
The AI is based on Gojira. But as long as it can rampage through a
small scale copy of Tokyo (holographic or real) he is satisfied and
helps the crew along. He also acts more like an oversized guard dog
outside of combat.However, the Koenig Monster is denied permission to
land anywhere near Japan.
Hear me Roar!
As soon as the Koenig Monster transforms from shuttle to bipedal mode,
it will let go of a typical Gojira roar on all available digital, AM and
FM channel. And without working radio the Koenig Monster will not
transform at all.
No! Mine! The
Koenig Monster will not move unless all Exocomps are on board. Or the
fuzzy dice are hanging in the cockpit window. Or the plush toys secured
in their berths along the back of the cockpit...

Trivia
- The
first larger scale public outing of the Koenig Monster was during
Alphacon, where the Gearheads offered joyrides/joyrampages for everyone
in a holographic mini-Tokyo.
- Since
2016 there is an anual Rampage through a model city that is build near
Mars Vegas. It even includes ‘defense vehicles' build by various fen.
- The Koenig Monster is capable of generating its own Seibertron strain of handwavium.
