== R7 Elfenbeinturm class Heavy Combat Mecha (TL 8) ==
	
These are very heavy, slow, ponderous war machines of limited practical use.  At 10m tall they are however very intimidating to subject peoples on lower technology worlds.  They mount a stabilized twin barreled, electric action, medium velocity auto cannon in a fully rotating turret fitted with direct and indirect fire control.  They are cylindrical with four huge crab like legs struggling to support their massively armored mass.
