Overview:
    This is a fluff mech and was left intentionally flawed to better explain its story.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    When rumors of Kali Yama producing the Perseus was confirmed, Earthwerks
    not wanting to be out-done actually broke into the market first, taking their
    flag ship design, the Grand Titan and convert into an Omni- design.
    
    However, the project was dogged with problems as several team members
    have different ideas on how the mech should be designed. In particular, a
    small group of scientists protest rather loudly that the Omni-Titan should
    drop its 400 rated LTV XL engine otherwise the cost would be insane, but the
    rest of the Earthwerks team paid no heed and proceeded with the original plan.
    However, something happened and the rest of Earthwerks team never quite expect
    it.
    
    Be it blind stupidity or just being careless, the Omni-Titan design
    team handed the blueprints to a rather disgusted scientist known as Damien
    Falx who opposed the retention of the LTV 400 XL. Little did the main team
    knew that him altered the plans before sending it to the manufacturer. The
    Earthwerks plant duly hammered out the Omni-titan in record time but when
    inspection came from the top, they realised their "dream" design has being
    tampered with.
    
    Original plans of the Omni-Titan require it to possess its Endo Steel
    internal structure and 2 fixed double heatsinks in the engine. This was a bid
    to allow as much free tonnage as possible for the mech to use as weapons.
    However the disgruntled scientists tampered with the blueprints and excluded
    the Endo Steel internal structure and added another 4 double heatsinks into
    the engine. The end result was a mech with a little over 31 tons of pod space
    which was laughable compared to the Preseus which boasted nearly 40 tons of
    pod space.
    
    Damien Falx was subsequently fined heavily, close to 40 million
    C-bills, but thankfully he has the support of the opposing camp in Earthwerks
    and they are helping him with this burden.
    


Capabilities:
    
      With the ongoing drama at company HQ, not many HQ people focused on
    the Omni-Titan, so several techs and a test pilot in Earthwerks plant took the
    mech out for a spin and tried several designs. 31.5 tons of pod space greatly
    limit the mech's ability to carry heavy weapons and the only real advantage of
    the design was that it carried massive amounts of internal heatsinks, so the
    techs went the most logical route, putting on energy based weapon.
    
    The default configuration was simple and to prove a point. It
    boasted 3 Kinslaughter H-Class Extended Range particle projection cannons. The
    triple ER PPC layout was directly copied from the Awesome, as spreading out
    the weapons will prevent less chance of a single hit destroying the entire
    array.
    
    Backing up the main heavy ERPPC array are a pair of Diverse Optics
    Sunfire Extended range Medium Lasers at the left arm. The Omni-Titan still
    retains its hands for this configuration, allowing it to use punch attacks.
    Lastly, a Diverse Optics Type mall class Extended range Laser in the centre
    torso rounds out the weapon array.
    
    All these extended range energy weapons leave the pilot in the
    sweat shop but the unique situation of the Omni-Titan takes advantage of this.
    The massive size of the pod slots (due to the missing Endo Steel structure)
    gave the designs plenty of leg room to equip the double strength freezers. So
    the techs added another 8 double strength freezers and with the additional 16
    double strength freezers in the modified engine, this allowed the Omni-Titan
    to fire its main battery without overheating, ever. In total the mech carries
    a whopping 24 double strength heatsinks alone in this configuration of which
    14 are additionals.
    
    Armor wise, this design was improved over the original Grand
    Titan, even though it was just an additonal ton of armor. Relatively fast,
    well armored, the test pilots had a field day running around firing triple ER
    PPCs none stop.
    


Deployment:
    
    More of a expensive toy than anything else at the moment and given
    that Earthwerks will never endorse this "failed" design, the Omni-Titan future
    remains uncertain. Reviews from Grand Titan pilots are favourable, but not
    likely to carry weight to Earthwerks decision.
    


Variants:
    
    The A variant is designed for brutal close range fighting boasting  9
    Diverse Optics Sunfire ER Medium Lasers for close ranged combat and a single
    Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large Laser. A single Model 2B Guardian ECM helps
    auguments its defensive attribute. Also this variant mounts 4 jump jets to
    give it manuverability. It possess the same amount of Double heatsinks as the
    default variant.
    
    The B variant is built around the Marik's love affair of the ER Large
    Laser. This variant carries no less than 4 Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large
    Lasers. It has 15 extra double heatsinks being installed to keep up with the
    tremendous heat generation. A Model 2B Guardian ECM and 2 Diverse Optics Type
    ER Small Lasers supplement the mech for defensive measures.
    
    The C variant is probably the only variant that isn't overloaded with
    Double heat sinks. It retained the original variant but replaced 1 ER PPC for
    a Imperator Automatic Weaponry Light Gauss Rifle with 2 tons of ammo.
    Subsequently, the designers only installed 1 additional double heatsink. The
    ER mediums and other 2 ERPPCs were retained, although the small ER Laser gave
    way to a CASE that protect's the mech from a Gauss explosion. C variant boasts
    a higher attack range over the default although not by much.
    
    The D variant contains a mixture of weapons, it boast a
    Kinslaughter H-Class ER PPC, a Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large Laser and a
    Doombud LRM 20 slaved to a Artemis IV as it primary battery of weapons. The
    Doombud carries enough shots for 18 reloads and the ammunition is CASE up for
    mech preservation if there is a ammunition explosion. 3 Diverse Optics Sunfire
    ER Medium Lasers round out the weapon array. It carries another 2 double
    strength freezers to keep its main battery cool running.
    
    The E variant is built similarly along the lines of the C
    although weapon layout has being changed. It retains 2 Kinslaughter H-Class ER
    PPCs but instead of the Light Gauss, it carries 1 Imperator Automatic Ultra
    AC/10 with 2 tons of ammo that are CASE for mech preservation. Rounding out
    the array is 2 Diverse Optics Type ER Small Lasers, it carries 1 extra double
    heatsink.
    
    Variant F is the only design that doesn't feature additional
    heatsinks. Weapons are simple 2 Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large Lasers, 2
    Diverse Optics Sunfire ER Medium Lasers and a additional Diverse Optics Type
    20P Medium Pulse Laser rounds out the laser battery. The main weapon is
    Defiance Disintegrator LB 20-X AC, whose raw power let's it crack op

    Despite the Omni-Titan deemed as a failure, the design did well when compared
    to it's forefather, often literally dancing around with nary a worry on heat
    while the Grand Titan kept over heating. Simulation test with simulated
    weapons and heat effects show the Omni-Titan being more consistent than the
    Grand Titan.
    
    The conclusive test came when two opposing pilots from decide to
    have a match up to see. Earthwerks was confident that the Grand Titan would
    snub out the Omni-Titan to prove a petty point against Damian Falx. The match
    started off fairly even but the Grand Titan overheated and was unable to
    engage at a range where the Omni-Titan default variant could dictate. The
    Omni-Titan pilot kept running cool and Renard repeatedly slam the Grand Titan
    with multiple triple ER PPC blasts. Unable to keep up the opposing ER PPC
    barrage, the Grand Titan pilot ejected leaving behind a mech that has nearly
    80% of its armor reduced to liquid puddles.
    
    This of course did not sit well with Earthwerk's leading techs.
