Hello RWBY fans, I present to you people the first chapter of the Remnant Task Force mobile suit dossier. This is clearly AU, but not really, the concept behind this AU is that the Paladins weren't created, but instead, mobile suits were created to combat behemoth class Grimm. Each kingdom will have their own mass produced mobile suits along with their advantages and disadvantages. Also to note, this will be covering CE mobile suits or Gundam Seed suits, I will create other era suits in a separate fanfic in the near future. Without further ado, here is the first mobile suit, created by Atlas.


GAT-01 Strike Dagger Type "Atlesian Knight"

Appearance

-Base Form: Based on the Strike Dagger. The head was remodeled to resemble the old Atlesian Knight-130 robot models with a few modifications. The faceplate now slides to the side to reveal a single red glowing eye that can look around (Imagine the Graze's eye from Gundam IBO), on the top corners of the head, there are small gatling gun barrels that can fire small caliber bullets or Dust rounds, while the eye color is red, the visor color is tinted black. The chest dons a knight chest plate with a cockpit entrance in the stomach region of the suit. The right arm shoulder plate was upgraded to have a six-barreled missile tube compartment inside the shoulder plate; the wrist mounts a double barreled grappling gun to grab targets from afar. The left arm shoulder plate was enlarged to put the Atlas emblem on the front, the wrist has a magnetic lock feature to hold a shield. The waist unit can hold about 5 clips of ammunition on the sides while the back waist holds the unit's main weapon and on the foot of the unit, extra boosters were added, the armor on the legs were upgraded with better material, but it made the legs look bigger. The backpack unit was enlarged to have the backpack hold both the booster and Gravity Dust generator, on the top right of the backpack is a holster for an energy blade that is sticking out. Color is white with black outlines.

Armaments

-Type V Dust Beam Rifle: (Design is similar to the rifles used in Gundam IBO) A prototype energy weapon that fires a concentrated combination of fire and electricity Dust. This weapon though fires more like a laser gun as you can keep the beam if you hold down the trigger, but this also leads to its major weakness, the gun is clip fed, so units have to bring spare mags, but they are extremely volatile, one solid shot through the clip could result in major damage.

-76mm Heavy Machine Gun: (Same design as the rifles used by the GINNs in Gundam SEED) A favorite among the regular MS pilots, they fire high caliber bullets that can destroy the armor of a behemoth class Grimm, but like the beam rifle, it is also clip fed, however, the clip won't explode in a large radius.

-Type 3 Dust Energy Sword: The standard melee weapon of all Daggers, it uses a heavily refined Dust crystal to create the blade, it can also have different elemental effects if using a combination of Dust crystals, but the blade's operational time is exactly 30 minutes before the crystal burns out and breaks.

-75mm Gatling Guns: Mounted on the head, these guns are usually used to take out smaller and lightly armored targets, but ammo can be switched to Dust rounds to deal a little bit more damage to larger targets.

-6-Barreled Missile Tube: Located inside the right shoulder plate of the suit, the missiles are regular sized and can be loaded with different types of explosives ranging from standard to Dust-based.

-Double-Barreled Grappling Gun: Mounted on the right wrist of the suit, the hooks are usually used to capture large targets, but they can also grab smaller targets and throw them at other targets.

-Earth Dust Shield: A shield that has been fused with Earth Dust to increase durability and protection rate for the suit. The shield can take quite the beating before it can break, but it be also used as a melee weapon to bash something.

Special Equipment and Features

-"Aura" Phase Shift Armor: A special energy field that connects to the pilots Aura if they had unlocked, it works the same a regular hunter's Aura, it allows the MS to shrug off a few fatal hits, but Aura depletion is doubled since the Aura has to generate a bigger field.

-Gravity Dust Generator: Located in the backpack, this allows the suit to "float" or stay in the sky for a certain amount of time, this allows the suit to fight in the sky without the fear of falling, but the Dust supply in the generator is limited, operational time is about 45 minutes.

-Experimental Dust Booster: A optional replacement for the standard MS booster, it uses a combination of multiple Dust crystals that could result in a major explosion if processed wrong, but if used properly, the speed of the suit is doubled, be warned, if shot, the Dust combination would automatically detonate, resulting in death.

Information

The very first Mobile Suit introduced to the world of Remnant. Created by the Atlas military, this unit would revolutionize the world, the production of this unit skyrocketed, with more than 50 units being produced every week. Atlas Academy allowed their students to train in these suits as they were designed to kill Behemoth class Grimm and thanks to the "Aura" Phase Shift Armor, these units worked as bigger hunters and huntresses. The military boasted that these units would be sold worldwide, but the other kingdoms weren't interested in investing in Atlas war machines, instead they went on to develop their own mobile suits, so very few suits were sold outside Atlas, people outside did like the Dagger, but there were major flaws in the suit, first being that they were created from cheap materials, meaning they could be easily destroyed if it was a non-aura pilot, and second being it had no dedicated flight unit, Daggers would have to rely on a flight platform to fight in the air, which could result in the unit getting knocked off the platform. The military promised that they would work on a flight unit for the Daggers. Since these units could be mass produced so easily, the Mechanized Corps of the Atlas military had motto "If you can't beat them in skill, beat them in numbers, don't worry about losing the suit, we can make more".


Next Unit: Vale's Mass Produced Mobile Suits

Yes, all the kingdoms will be getting their own mobile suits for their military to use, also the White Fang will get their own mobile suits, but not yet, they would be using stolen Mobile Suits from other kingdoms.

Also, I don't plan to make a story out of this, if you want to create a story using this scenario, go ahead, but if you plan on using the suits from my dossier, just asked.
