PTX-007-01 Gespenst Mk II Rapidity Type
Having developed many Personal Trooper prototypes, Mao Industries began to look back to their original Gespenst plan with the explicit intention of mass production. By simplifying some of the more expensive systems used in earlier Personal Trooper models, the PTX-007 series could achieve similar performance ratings at a greatly lowered production cost. Three units would be produced, corresponding to the original three Gespenst units.
The PTX-007-01 Gespenst Mk II Rapidity Type, like the PTX-001 Gespenst type R, focused on high speed and versatility. In place of its predecessor’s Neutron Beam weapon, the Gespenst Mk II R utilizes the simplified Mega Beam Rifle. The Plasma Cutters mounted on the left arm have been replaced with Mega Plasma Cutters, while the low cost split missile system is left unmodified. The Gespenst Mk II has been equipped with the deadly "Slash Ripper" remote weapons. These were little more than smart, guided blade projectiles that could easily shred grunt units into ribbons.
The R-Type was assigned to Major Gilliam Jaeger of the Earth Federation Special Forces, being suited to his quick and deadly hit-and-run combat philosophy.
