The AH-58 Devastator is a Patenrian attack helicopter, designed to address limitations with the AH-2 Spartan. The Spartan, while effective, was becoming as dated as the Trojan it was build off of. Thus, a replacement program was enacted. A startup corporation, iFalco, submitted the Devastator design. This was the most successful, and the Paternian Army and Lanzarrian Army ordered large numbers. However, they lacked the ability to build such a craft on the scale necessary, so work was contracted to Bandit. Due to unrelated legal issues, iFalco was dissolved, and Bandit acquired the design as their own. Displayed is the AH-58 in anti-armor configuration, with 16 Hellfire missiles.
