Description/Overview:
         (MBR-01 "Liberator"):
          The MBR-01 Liberator was the first battle robot built by men of Earth. The MacDonald Company, formerly of Sydney, Australia, designed and developed the MBR-01 at one of the fledgling secret R&D facilities of the Earth Federal Republic in Antarctica called Doogrim. The Doogrim facility formed out of a need for a facility capable of building a craft that could navigate the wastelands of post-apocalyptic Earth. The MBR-01 saw its first real combat missions when the then new Earth Federal Republic began their rescue operations on Earth during the 2160s (2162 to 2169).
         The main propulsion engine of the MBR-01 was one RE-01 robot walker engine built by Arctic Motors of Earth. The secondary propulsion was a pair of Rockwheel NRE-01 nuclear rocket engines. These rocket motors are used for limited flight on planets without an atmosphere, they are also used for booster jumps on planets with an atmosphere (200 feet maximum height).
         The MBR-01 was a ground combat unit only and not useful in outer space.
         The MacDonald-Doogrim MBR-01 was moderately armed. The main armament of the MBR-01 was the M230-ACR 30 millimeter auto cannon rifle built by a joint effort of Bohing and Militia Military Industries (MMI). This weapon was mounted on the right arm of the battle robot and was the basis for the first gun pod used by the other battle robots of this series. The main air defense weapon and secondary assault weapon of the MBR-01 was the Orlakon/MMI AC-R2-04 20 millimeter, four barrel, Gatling auto cannon. The MBR-01 was equipped with one missile weapon system, the MMI built SRM-01-G. This missile pod has a payload of 27 short range missiles with 10lb warheads. Most pilots of the MBR-01 used the Bohing/MMI M230-AC-GP 1 ton gun pod in addition to its other weapons after this gun pod became available in 2170 AD.
           The main power plant of the MBR-01 was the Federal Energy FEFR-300 fusion reactor.
           The MBR-01 served throughout both interplanetary wars and the Ceres conflict as a main ground combat unit of the Earth Federal Forces until 2185 when the MBR-01C was adopted by the Planetary Alliance Forces as the primary combat unit.
         This battle robot served throughout all three interplanetary wars and the Ceres Conflict as a main ground combat unit of the Earth Federal Forces.

Description/Overview:
 (MBR-01A "Avenger")
         The RockWheel Company upgraded the MBR-01 in 2170 AD at their planetoid base, Gundhim, on Juno. This new upgrade was designated as the MBR-01A Avenger. This new version of the MBR-01 had improved ergonomics and used two SRM-01-G missile pods instead of one. The other missile pod replaced the M230-ACR 30-millimeter autocannon. The MBR-01A types were also equipped with the M230-AC-GP gunpod and introduced after the Battle of Ceres during the 1st Interplanetary War. One of the distinctive features of the MBR-01A was its use of “self-cleaning” elbow joints that did not require the standard polymer “dust-covers” the other MBR-01s typically used. These mechanical joints were very successful, but also required a greater length of time to manufacture than the more abundant “dust-covers.” The advantage of the “self-cleaning” joints over the covered joints was in the time it took to effect maintenance and repair of the elbow joints. This portion of the mecha required a great deal of maintaining due to the amount of use the arms normally got during combat.
         The MBR-01As were common in the military forces of Mars and Venus after the 1st Interplanetary War ended. Production of the MBR-01 series began in 2162 with the original MBR-01, and ended in 2225 AD with the MBR-01U. A total of 155,000 original MBR-01s were built for military use prior to and during the 1st Interplanetary War. After 2185, private companies built the MBR-01 and the MBR-01A configuration for the private sector.

MBR-01A
           The MBR-01 Main Battle Robot series was a versatile machine that had numerous variants over its 100-year service with the various governments that deployed it. The first two variants that saw widespread use for their times was the MBR-01X Expeditionary package that the United States of North America created in 2165 AD as a search and rescue machine over the then devastated surface of Earth. This unit was fitted with two multispectrum spotlights that were capable of up to 10-million candle-power for extreme range through dense smoke and dust. Two cargo boxes with 1-year of food, medical, and domestic supplies (like toilet paper, and hygienic items), a four wheel ATV bike, Tent, and other equipment used by the USMC Expeditionary teams and later EFSM teams that were deployed all over the Earth from the USNA/EFR main base under the ice of Antarctica. The main weapon of the MBR-01X was the Orlakon AC-GP-304, quad-barrel, 30-mm, gunpod. This weapon used a unique quad-100-round drum feeding system that allowed the mecha's cannons to use interchangeable drums.

           The next variant was the MBR-01ZG. This variant was fitted with four vernier thruster pods that gave the mecha the ability to maneuver in space. The thrusters were CO2 based and not very powerful, but they did provide the needed thrust for the MBR-01 change delta-V in space as the basic model had no such capability. The MBR-01ZG was introduced in 2169 for the battle of Ceres and for use on Earth's moon, Luna. The MBR-01ZG was also armed with a gunpod version of the standard fixed 30-mm cannon. This variant was replaced by the SBR-01 in 2171.
