Designer Notes
The successful use of the Iguana chassis as a military police model has led to its use in some civilian roles as well. Urban rescue and fire-fighting squads -- known as "sapeurs pompiers" in Universal French -- have long used work and engineering Gears as part of their equipment and welcomed the arrival of a military-grade machine designed for their use. The production of the Urban Rescue Iguana in TN 1927 came after a series of deadly fires in Port Oasis were suppressed only at the cost of many lives due to inadequate equipment. The Republican government ordered a review of urban safety procedures across the league and wide-ranging modernization programs were implemented, including the creation of the Urban Rescue. Based on the standard Iguana chassis, the Rescue is stripped of all battlefield weapons and equipped for its specialized duty with flame retardant cloth covering all the joints and heat-resistant ceramic armor. A chemical foam cannon serves as a standard "weapon" to supplement this function. The Rescue also features a powerful chest-mounted winch attached to a side-mounted grappling hook launcher, allowing the Gear to drag vehicles out of danger and (on at least one occasion) to rappel down from a roof. As an urban vehicle, the Rescue Iguana has standard safety features including head and tail lights along with padded feet that limit the damage to city streets.
