LS1/MESS-S1aF-003 LANDSTRIKE Harbinger

Developed for countering Miia Deltavi’s Hunter Vendetta, the LANDSTRIKE Harbinger is decked out with ranged weapons of all kinds. It was used in the battle leading up to Miia’s capture, when it was subsequently overhauled into the Buster Harbinger.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
While the Harbinger itself is still internally the same, it has been layered with all sorts of new technology. The Exo-Armor is the most notable, as it gives the Harbinger extra protection against ranged attacks while it is charging in. In the case of a ranged attack, the Harbinger can utilize the cannons, Missile launchers, and machine guns to use for disruption or offense. Fuel tanks and high output mobility thrusters do not allow the Garrisai to hover like the Majestic, but give it jumping and accelerated running abilities. Built in rocket anchors mounted in the forearms can be fired out and at an enemy, connecting to them. These are used for stopping a Garrisai from escaping, or moving at all. The anchors’ ends can be detached and attached into external surfaces like a tether. If need be, all weapons and Exo-Armor can be purged, allowing for the usage of the Harbinger’s original equipment.

History
Harbinger uses its LS variant twice during its service; first against Miia Deltavi, and second during the battle of Midnight Base in the form of the Landbuster Harbinger.

Trivia
The Harbinger's LS Pack pays direct homage to the original MESS' weapons and general design.
