| War Machine |
Name: Martian War Machine
Pilot: Martians
Origin: Demonbane
Classification: Martian Vehicle, Tripods | Martian Space Vessel/Magic Apparatus
Height: 50-70 meters | Much smaller
Weight: Likely thousands of tons | Unknown
Powered By: Steam Engine | Unknown, seem to be using magic
Destructive Capacity: Large building level+ (potentially higher, its heat ray carved a long crater towards the Hadou Mansion but it couldn't penetrate the barriers) | At least large building level+, potentially island level+ with a few dozens of them gathering together (Aeon chose to escape their attack instead of tanking it)
Range: Extended mecha melee range, likely a few kilometers with heat rays | Several kilometers (potentially far longer)
Performance: Around 50-100 km/h (they're slower than a biplane) | FTL+ (managed to intercept the Clumbiard in the middle of its travel)
Terrain: Ground, air | Ground, air and space
Durability: Building level (modern artillery was useless against them) | Building level, large building to city block level with barriers (potentially higher, tanked Aeon's magical revolvers and its Scimitar of Barzai), probably island level+ when a few dozens of War Machines merge together
Material: Unknown (built based on terrestrial materials) | Unknown (they're created from some sort of translucent alien material)
Notable Features: Super strength, speed, durability, endurance, flight & levitation temporally via anti-gravity propellers, heat ray beam, life support system for the Martians to survive on Earth | Super strength and speed, magic, can erect barriers to increase their durability, energy blasts, mind manipulation via the touch of their tentacles, can merge together in groups to form even stronger shields and energy cannons, can cast a spell using an entire planet's worth of energy when they're in huge masses
Weakness: The effectiveness of their heat rays can be weakened by thick smoke screens | They can either focus on their barriers or energy attacks, not both. Also focusing on either would disrupt their activity from being components to the Mars ritual.
Needed Prerequisite for Use: Being a Martian
Weaponry:
Fake War Machine
- Heat ray beam cannon
- Insect legs X 3
Real War machine:
- Tentacle Legs X 7 (used for casting spells)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Note: There's no picture available for the true Martian War Machines. Despite being complete fodders for the 90% of the time, Word of God apparently stated that the War Machines were a considerable threat. (To the Earth? Yes. To Aeon? No. To Demonbane?:uvalaugh).
Not to be confused with the original Martian attack vehicles from H.G. Wells' book, or any other Tripods from fiction.
