The Doom Guard became a very hot product after its entry into the regional mech markets.
The hype hadn't faded after the product reveal. In fact, much of the early feedback generated even more demand!
Those lucky enough to obtain a copy early gleefully showed off their expensive new toy while devising ways to make good use of it. Repulsive glow or not, humans always liked to overcome a challenge!
Since the LMC was closely tied to the Larkinson Clan, the Avatars, Sentinels, Swordmaidens and other forces all received a bunch of early copies.
Ves did design the Doom Guard with the aim of strengthening his clan. He didn't want his forces to fall into a passive state again when confronted by a numerically superior foe!
Soon enough, every Larkinsons mech pilot began to experience a new kind of torture!
In the name of improving their mental resilience, every active Larkinson mech pilot had to undergo special training!
