MESS-S1bC-004 Juggernaut

Technology and Combat Characteristics
Being the Garrisai to kick off the Ballistic-based b-line of AEGIS, the Juggernaut was as simple as melee classes went. Armed with a body shield, spiked knuckles, and a massive sword known as the Giga-Claymore, the Juggernaut was excellent at both absorbing and dishing out damage at close range. However, because of the machine’s heavy armor, the Juggernaut was very slow when charging into combat, meaning that Harbinger GT s were often deployed alongside this machine to escort it into the battlefield. It would eventually go on to share the battlefield with its more situation adaptable sister unit, the Megahammer.

History
The Juggernaut was deployed against the Celestial Vanguard up until the end of the Interstellar Era in 2431, in which it was vaulted away until it was needed again. Its blueprints and combat data, however, was acquired by the DTRO and brought about the development of the Juggernaut GT during the First Age of Mass Production.

Trivia
- As one of the original 15 Garrisai units only second to Drax, the Juggernaut has had a long history of developments in the Harbinger-2584 and Harbinger-LEGACY stories.

- Variants of the Juggernaut have also appeared as ace units in both stories, with a Pacific Rim-Inspired one being used by Alex in 2584, and another custom one being used by Dominic in LEGACY under the name Arodnight.
