tomahawk (destroid)

A mecha from the MACROSS series. It first appeared in Choujikuu Yousai Macross TV anime series from 1982.

The Viggers/Chrauler MBR-04-Mk VI Tomahawk destroid is a main battle robot system (mecha) created by the U.N. Spacy to fight the Zentradi.

Armed with a wide array of weaponry suited to nearly any combat operation, the Tomahawk is a versatile, heavy armed and armored combat mecha that features particle cannons, missiles, machine guns, lasers and flamethrowers to unleash fire in any role from anti-personnel to anti-aircraft.

One of its most distinct features are its two energy based arm cannons. This mecha also features a retractable periscope and includes the option of mounting searchlight/missile pods in one or both mounts on either side of its top weapon bays.

In real life the Tomahawk was designed by Miyatake Kazutaka in the early 80s.
