== Description and History ==
Created during the onslaught of the [[Age of War]], [[Wesley Industries]] of the [[Capellan Confederation]] saw the growing need for a means to clean up urban wreckage created by the never-ending conflicts. Eventually, Wesley introduced its [[IndustrialMech]], the '''''DemolitionMech''''' in [[Introduction Year::2513]], which was designed to be a tough and economical machine. Used throughout the Confederation's heavily urbanized core worlds, the design was later sold to various former [[Terran Hegemony]] worlds, which had suffered during the [[Amaris Coup]] and later, the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. The design was noted for its toughness, but considered slow for its size. The 'Mech has been used to supplement military forces with destructive power from time to time.<ref name=TRO:3075p248/>

The design's primary tool is its four ton [[wrecking ball]] mounted on the right arm. On its left arm it has a [[rock cutter]] in place of the hand [[actuator]], while mounted in the center torso is a single military-grade [[small laser]] to help destroy buildings from a safe distance. The 'Mech is powered by a [[General Motors]] 140-rated [[fuel cell]] engine to keep pollution in urban work sites at minimum.<ref name=TRO:3075p248/>

*; WI-DM2 : This variant is designed for demolition of military fortifications. In place of the [[rock cutter]] and torso-mounted [[small laser]], it employs a [[dual saw]]. However, the design loses one ton of armor to properly mount and balance the saw.

*; WI-DMM MOD : This variant was introduced by Wesley after [[Gray Monday]]. It carries a pair of [[Magshot Gauss rifle]]s with fed by one ton of ammunition and a [[medium laser]] instead of the [[rock cutter]] and [[small laser]]. The [[wrecking ball]] remains in place, and four heat sinks handle the heat. An [[advanced fire control]] system is also fitted, but the head lacks an [[ejection seat]].
