Shraptor

The Shraptor is a name given to line of robotic fighter jets made in the United States by ASWS. THe Shraptors are designed for close range combat and are armed with powerful weapons that can easily destroy buildings in a few shots.

History
The Shraptors were made prior to the War of 3008 and was designed with close air support in mind. Being armed with powerful scatter cannons, it made short work of any fortifications, structures and hostile infantry. They were later assigned to occasionally escort civilian airliners of up to 50 miles before returning to base or a assigned patrol path.

Physical description
Being fighter jets, the Shraptors by default are quite large. It features a single engine that can be configured into a hovering mode and has large control surfaces that allow it to turn at breakneck speeds. Shraptors also have interior cockpits for maintence and testing purposes.

The outer canopy consist of three "eyes" located in the front, center and back. This gives the Shraptor a large field of veiew but is unable to view anything directly below it though it has sensors to cover the blindspot.

Armaments
Unlike a typical fighter jet, it does not come with missiles nor a gun. Rather the Shraptors are equiped with four wing mounted 120mm Scatter-Cannons with two on each side. These cannons are fired electronically and have powerful recoil compensators to absorb the heavy recoil from each shot. The projectiles the cannons fire is a large shell with over 25 explosive pellets with a blast yield of a few sticks of C4 which while relatively weak, over a saturated attack it can cause a large amount of damage.

Though each individual cannon fires at a low rate of 150 RPM, the four cannons fire in an alternating pattern that can be up to 600 RPM which can easily destroy anything at close range. Despite the recoil compensators, Shraptors can only fire for so long as they lose speed rapidly during a salvo burst.

Trivia

 * The Sharptors are based on an F-22 Raptor with the single engine and hovering capabilities of a F-35
 * They are more akin to AU YAF-ARH in terms of overall appearance and function. Said appearance happen to be based on the YF-23, the rival to the YF-22 that would eventually become the F-22.
 * The only bots in The Gang that can fight against Shraptors is Zeve, Reece, Wall-Z and Thompson. The other bots either having no ability to remotely hit them or are too slow.
 * The overall size of the Shraptor is on par with VU YAF-ARH.
