The '''Rottweiler''' is a [[battle armor]] that [[Lyran Alliance]] scientists designed as a fast scout. It is named after a German attack- and guard-dog, which itself is named after the town "Rottweil." The [[Fenrir]] showed how fast a quadruped battlesuit could move, so the team decided to push the envelope with the Rottweiler. Their efforts resulted in a top speed of 54 km/h. It is an electronics marvel. It has stealth armor that enables the suit to evade detection and makes targeting it more difficult and advanced sensors so that the unit is never surprised. It mounts enough armor to stop a [[Clan]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]. The Rottweiler also incorporates a hatch in its front that mimics a mouth and can carry up to five kilograms of equipment.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The Rottweiler does not use a turret mount like the Fenrir, as the engineering team opted for a fixed [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]] instead. This increased pilot comfort as he or she can now lay flat, enabling a Rottweiler squad to go on extended missions due to lessened fatigue. For use against unarmored [[infantry]], the battlesuit carries a [[Firedrake Support Needler (Battle Armor)|"Firedrake"]] incendiary needler.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO23 />
 
  
==Variants==

==Armament==
*;Close Combat : In the midst of the [[Jihad]] and the utter devastation of that conflict, the [[Lyran Alliance]] demanded new variants of the Rottweiler to supplement dwindling numbers of front-line battlesuits. The close combat variant keeps the sensors and mission equipment, but changes the weapon configuration. It mounts a [[Flamer (Battle Armor)|Flamer]] and a [[Machine Gun (Battle Armor)|Machine Gun]], transforming it into a furious [[infantry]] killer. It is especially well-suited to urban environments thanks to its high speed.

*;Upgrade : This variant only keeps the mission equipment. Instead of the integral sensors, it uses a [[Remote Sensor Dispenser (Battle Armor)|remote sensor dispenser]] to keep track of enemy movement. A [[King David Light Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|"King David" Light Gauss Rifle]] provides some ranged firepower.

*;Firedrake : An anti-infantry specialist, this variant carries more armor and its four Firedrake needlers can shred conventional infantry platoons in seconds.<ref name=TRO3085>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 190</ref> BV (2.0) = 43<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 20</ref>
