DESCRIPTION:
   The destroid Monster Heavy Weight Robot was originally designed as another anti-giant combat system but it first saw action fighting terrestrial threats during the events surrounding the Island of Mayan in 2008. The Mk I Monster was nearly identical to the later Mk II Monster and was primarily deployed as a mobile artillery unit. However, the Monster was not designed for missile launchers on either side of the unit and thus the Mk I had two multi-purpose "arms" for ammunition delivery, firing position adjustment and other duties. When the decision was made to equip the Monster with missile launchers, the unit was renamed Mk II.
   The Monster Mk I does not have the heavy weapons arms like the second version later on.  In stead, it has retractable grappler arms originally used to stabilize the main guns while they take aim and fire upon a target.  In MACROSS ZERO, a Monster Mk I is seen being brought up by elevator to the main flight deck of the Asuka II aircraft carrier.  It walked to a certain location on the deck, took a firing stance position, then as it prepared its cannons, the arms unfolded into several thinner arms that latched onto specific holding spots on the deck.  These holds, as well as a blast reinforcement plate elevated directly behind the monster, held the mecha in position as it fired upon an enemy target.  When on the ground and not an aircraft carrier (or other well prepared larger carrier vehicle), the Monster can unfold its arms, spread the smaller arms and plunge them directly into the ground for stabilization.  In a pinch, these arms could double as close combat defensive weapons, but they were not designed for that purpose.
   Except for the Power Plants and Auxiliary Power above, all other equipment is pulled from the M.A.C. II Monster's stats, since it was the "upgrade" version of this one after testing.
   If playing a ROBOTECH game, the Monster Mk I can be available as a predecessor to the M.A.C. II Monster, especially if running/playing a game that takes place before the arrival of the Zentraedi.
