Background:

The Red-Tail is a transformable fighter-mech that falls into the Striker Class despite its focus on fast attack and skirmishing. One of the Earliest transforming Mechs, it first saw service during the Great Sidereal War and was common sight among Lunar Forces. The model was largely abandoned following the War's end in favor of more effective and cost-efficient Mechs and can only be found in museums, private collections and a handful of mechbays around Luna and Venus. It's a testament to the model's design that it's still a viable mech decades after it was first deployed.
