Mauke Thunderclap

One of the newer Core models under Mauke Co. The Thunderclap could easily be mistaken for an actual human, standing around 5ft tall and built using synthetic muscle tissue connected to an advanced directional sensory system the Thunderclap is built for mobility and surveillance. This Core model bears minimal protection with small carbon fiber plating under its hardened synth skin coating meaning that the Thunderclap can only take slightly more damage than an actual human. The Cores major benefit are its specialized kinetic charge coils, designed to build and store kinetic energy until it can be released, allowing for great feats of acrobatics or unarmed strikes. There have been three standard models for the Thunderclap;

Thunderclap Mk.1 [Out of Service]

The original Thunderclap was based on the old Maunan-Kope Warm Body Exocores, the update specialized n making the Core appear more human for espionage and stealth operations. For around 5 years the Mk.1 was Mauke's most mass produced unit until a fatal flaw was discovered with its Spinal Link, meaning a solid jolt to the back of the head or neck would disrupt the Neura-Link connection and cause severe mental damage to the user.

Thunderclap Mk.2

The current standard for Thunderclap models, cheap and effective this model was the first to include the kinetic charge coils in the legs and arms which allowed for bursts of accelerated speed, jumps of up to 25ft in the air and unarmed strikes capable of tearing through steel plate. Non-Combat Thunderclaps, used for construction and forestry, are also sold and referred to as Anvil Cores.

Thunderclap Mk.3

More specialized for stealth combat the Mk. 3 was focused around reducing heat signatures and other emissions, a job that was greatly successful at. As well as standard functionality of the Mk.2 the Mk.3 gives no heat or electric signature and runs on a specially encrypted Neura-Link channel unique to each model.

Power Generation

The Thunderclaps battery retains excess charge from its kinetic charge coils, allowing it to keep operating several days past most other light cores.

Propulsion

The synthetic muscle within the Thunderclap allows it to run at speeds equivalent to those of an Olympic sprinter without tiring.

Weapons & Armament

The specialized Kinetic Charge Coils within the Thunderclaps arms and legs allow not only for great feats of acrobatic skill but also create devastating impacts through unarmed combat. A "bunny stomp" from the Thunderclap has been enough to drop a heavy Core in the past.

Sensors

The Thunderclap has standard auditory sensors however its visual sensors have been altered, instead of taking a constant feed that goes directly to the brain the Thunderclap uses a basic prediction system to show "auras" of the opponents approximate location while in the air, allowing for better traversal and accuracy. This prediction sense is not built for firearms or other projectiles and is only active while in the air.

Hangars & docked vessels

Due to its human shape the Thunderclap can be transported in any way any other human would.
