Status: Active Production Power Level: 8.5 Description: Engineered specifically for absolute airspace control, counter-swarm operations, and heavy armor suppression, the HG-01 "High Guard" features a lightweight titanium matrix chassis wrapped around a fully isolated, Class-V Faraday-shielded core to withstand the massive electromagnetic feedback of its own weaponry. Powered by a compact, high-yield inertial reactor, the unit is equipped with back-mounted dual heavy jet propulsion nacelles and rear stabilization winglets, allowing for standard vector insertion up to Mach 1.2, with emergency afterburners allowing for Mach 4 sprint speeds, as well as precise high-altitude hover overwatch. The High Guard's primary offensive weapon is a heavy arm-mounted EMP cannon capable of switching between a wide 60-degree directional shockwave to neutralize incoming drone swarms and a high-intensity, focused linear pulse engineered to overload heavily armored land and air vehicles and disable fire-control electronics from range. Driven by an advanced neuromorphic processing core, the unit renders radar-stealth UAVs completely obsolete through adaptive visual learning; bypassing radar altogether, the android's optical tracking network simply identifies the physical silhouette of stealth aircraft against the horizon in real time. Supported by high-resolution optical sensors and an integrated phased-array radar, the unit executes precision high-velocity stand-off strikes against aerial swarms, stealth assets, and mechanized ground columns alike. $14.5M: Includes the base chassis, titanium-matrix plating, Class-V Faraday shielding, inertial reactor, dual jet thrusters, and arm-mounted EMP cannon. $18.2M: Includes the unit flyaway cost plus a high-capacity mobile recharging dock, diagnostic replacement modules (spare thruster turbines and capacitor banks), and 24/7 priority Vanguard database upgrades for new drone signal profiles.
