Technologically Advanced Mechsuit

The TAM (Technologically Advanced Mechsuit), later renamed the Gunmetal Gladiator, was a suit developed by the Elite Hero Zaephre after the events of Brain Attack. It is a prototype for the mechs that will be used during the Invasion from Below, but much larger and it fits a regular-sized hero.

History
The TAM's original design was created after the defeat of the Brains, just in case of an upcoming attack. The inspiration of this particular mech came from Demitoan engineering brothers, who had both devised a hardsuit that could augment the wearers abilities exponentially. The Mark 1 version was created to fight in small to medium sized battles and was significantly smaller than the future versions. The Mark 2 was designed weeks later, and it featured titanium plate armor and a powerful shoulder-mounted plasma cannon. A mere day later and a new update was published, which added tremendously stable legs and new thrusters powerful enough to life a small house. The pilot created to fit in one of these mechs has to have a small standard hero body. As the mech suit progressed in upgrades, the color advanced into black and gunmetal. The suit is currently in Mark 13, with improved articulation, enhanced stability, powerful laser cannons, and a variety of other upgrades.

Other Information
The mech has a hero core in the center, which not only provides power but also acts as artificial intelligence to assist the pilot. Without a pilot, the mech can still function. The new Mark 13 version can only suit Elite Heroes, who have a compacted design exactly the right size for the cockpit. The pilot that had invented the original mechsuit is a hero named Zaephre, who is responsible for assisting the Hero Factory in defending from the minifigure invasion.
