Recognition notes
The Ares ARS-V1E Apollo is a 135-ton superheavy that fights as a juggernaut, cruising at only 22 km/h and topping out near 32. It mounts a Rotary AC/5 in the left arm and an Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle in the right arm, backed by a spread of secondary weapons across both torsos: an ER Medium Laser, an ER Small Laser, an LRM 5, and an SRM 2 in each of the left and right torso, plus a further ER Small Laser and SRM 2 in the center torso. Inner Sphere CASE II lines both arms and both torso sections, and anti-personnel pods sit in each leg and the center leg. It is built as a command 'Mech and carries a fixed searchlight, with standard armor plating and 11 Inner Sphere double heat sinks running on a 270 Inner Sphere fusion engine. Rhodes Foundry builds it at Devil's Rock.
