The TerraDyne TW-101 combat walker was designed near the onset of the Kafer war. American strategists, and combat veterans were aware of the short falls of the French BH-21 combat walker which was the primary combat walker of the US Marine Corps. So following the lines of the new war footing, and using new monomer fibers, advanced control computer technologies, TerraDyne filed a proposal for building the first combat walker for the US Marine Corps. A year later, after research, fine tuning, and combat trials, the US Marine Corps is just receiving new units of TW-101 qualified, and equipped troops. So far there has been not enough time to build a concise report on their true worth in combat, but field commanders so far have welcomed their presence on the battle field.
Rochefield 20mm Autocannon: This weapon was designed as a cheaper, yet just as powerful alternative to a plasma weapon. The Rochefield combines high fire power, rapid fire, and armor defeating capabilities wrapped up into a weapon small enough to be carried by the new TW-101 "LandMate" that is being introduced to the US Marine Corp.
