The Dreadnought is the first ever Bipedal mech in history. Designated as Project WW-01, all the great houses of the Empire took part in helping to develop this revolutionary war machine. Orion, Magnus and Gratuitous, each had their part in the development of the Dreadnought. Gratuitous designed the weapons, Magnus designed the parts needed to make it stand and walk, and Orion was in charge of acquiring the materials needed to develop it. After years of testing and adjustments, the Dreadnought is ready for service. Featuring a 3 cannons, 1 on the arm and 2 at the back, 4 rocket pods in the shoulder and a Great-Vulcan. The Arm Cannon is designed for bunker busting and crowd control, while the twin Earthquake Cannons act more like Long Range Artillery. The skill required to steadily control the Dreadnought is practically Invaluable, as it requires absolute focus to simply walk. Because of its naturally slow nature, it is designated as a Siege Mech, thanks to its heavy guns and daunting appearance.

Since the renaissance of the age of Chivalry, thanks to the recent valor shown by the Knights Black Eagle during the Great Rebellion, the term Knight was reinstated in the military. All Mech pilots are henceforth called Knights.

Lore aside, i am quite proud to say that after 2 years of trying to make Mechs in a game about making planes, i have finally done it! And all i needed was to put sticks on the side of the legs... Oh well. I'll continue to improve on my leg making skills, and hopefully be able to make a proper mecha. Not the Western kind which is just a pod with guns and legs, no. A Full on Gundam style mecha! But that won't be for a long time.

Anyway, this is quite complicated to control so allow me to teach you the basics!
Roll controls the right leg, pitch controls the left leg. This is on no matter what. Have fun figuring out how to walk!
7 activates torso and head rotation.
6 did something, i forgot what it did.
5 controls the forearm pitch, if you want to do some fancy poses.
4 controls arm pitch and rotation.
I forgot if 3 did anything.
2 controls the Rear Cannons' rotation and elevation. Be careful now, you could accidentally break the cannon. Its a tight fit.
1 activates the mechanism that puts the rear cannons in place. VTOL up.

Figure out the rest on your own, Knight!
