M/L-123-C Dire Wolf

The M/L-123-C Blitz Wolf is the personal Armor Blitz of Aika Haseo.

Appearance
The M/L-123-C, named Blitz Wolf by its pilot, Aika Haseo, is a heavily modified M-Armor Blitz. It features angular and sleek armor colored black with white and blue. It is smaller and lighter than most M-Armors of its kind, featuring less armor plating and large booster units on its back, with smaller boosters on its shoulders and legs.

Weaponry
The Blitz Wolf is capable of carrying a wide assortment of weaponry as an M-Armor, but has sacrificed the ability to carry some of the heavier weapons in exchange for a speed advantage. It is capable of carrying rotary cannons, heavy explosive autocannons, flechette launchers, missile and rocket launcher pods, grenade launchers, and a plethora of other weaponry. However, the Blitz Wolf is unique in that it carries a melee weapon on its back as standard for every sortie, by its pilot's insistence. The weapon is a large plasma-edged sword made exclusively for the Blitz Wolf, that is capable of cleaving clean through even H-Armors with its weight and cutting power.

Performance
The Blitz Wolf was originally a standard M-Armor Blitz, but heavy modifications have reduced the weight and amped up the speed and maneuverability to be more comparable with an L-Armor, earning it the L designation in its name as a Hybrid Armor Blitz. Emphasis has been put into speed and maneuverability with the use of the large thrusters on its back as well as the ones on its shoulders and legs, allowing it to outmaneuver opponents and destroy them quickly and efficiently. This speed advantage allows it to utilize its melee weapon to its fullest, moving in quickly and dispatching most Armor Blitzes in one or two well places strikes, being able to cut through the heaviest armor. It's lighter design also facilitates the use of a build-in Flight Unit, allowing it vertical attack capabilities as well as additional speed.

However, sacrifices wer made in protection, resulting in a weaker Armor Blitz overall, though not quite as weak as L-Armors, it is not able to take as much punishment as standard M-Armors, though it compensates for its weaknesses in durability with sloped armor and countermeasures such as EMP bursts and chaff and flares, as well as its built-in Flight Unit, allowing it powerful bursts of speed to change direction immediately to avoid enemy fire.
