Designer Notes
The Kodiak Destroyer is an even more powerful variant of what was already one of the most heavily armed Gears in exeistence. It was introduced during the final months of the War of the Alliance, as resurgent Northern forces swept across the Badlands hunting down CEF hovertanks. The standard Kodiak's particle beam rifle had proven to be an inadequate anti-armor weapon, so the Destroyer was outfitted with the new Paxton Arms Juggernaut bazooka. This massive weapon was made even deadlier by the addition of a Northco long range targeting system. Extra ceramic armor was also bolted onto the torso to provide increased protection against the powerful energy and missile attacks which the Gear was expected to face. The Destroyer performed well but suffered from a further reduction in speed that made it even more lumbering than the basic model. Known to most of those who piloted or worked on it as "the monster," the Destroyer model was widely seen as a symptom of the Terranovan resurgence after the terrible Battle of Baja. With victory finally a possibility, weapon development entered a phase which focused on ever heavier firepower.
