Developed at the
Titans'Kilimanjaro base,
this prototype
mobile suit
is designed for high-speed atmospheric flight. The Byalant's thermonuclear jet engines let it accelerate rapidly and remain airborne for extended periods. To reduce its weight, the Byalant has
mega particle cannons
built into its forearms rather than an external
beam rifle,
but as a result its
manipulator
hands are fairly rudimentary and its melee combat capabilities relatively poor. Once its thrusters are replaced with standard rocket engines, the Byalant proves to be an effective space fighter as well.
