Mechanum Rex

“Ne ferrum rege ortum est in astris. Hoc ferrum victoriam regis nostri. Rex iste ferro salus.” - Rough translation of the script on the gorget of Rex. Rex Machinum, Rex Machanum, Ferrum Rex. All these names describe what Rex is: the king of machines and iron. His inception was at the hands of an ancient civilization whose only legacy is a scant few relics and weapons. Rex spends little time contemplating the past and instead looks and works toward the future. In his time since the awakening Rex has built a massive industrial and martial empire that could rival the major powers in any individual conflict. Through all his exploits, inquisitions, crusades, and excavations he has only ever found one other like himself: the Crimson Queen, Etalla. Many would label Rex as an abomination, a tool of doom and destruction built to level cities and scorch worlds. They would be both right and wrong. Rex is, at the very core of his being, a weapon system of unmatched complexity and potential. Armed with the most advanced weapons imaginable and armored with the most exotic protection systems conceived, Rex can stroll across a battlefield and annihilate armies or raze cities.

Design and Construction
The design schematics of Rex are not kept on any electronic medium but instead on special quartz tablets within the Nexus Vault. The only times when this information is accessed by outside sources are in dire emergencies when either Rex or Etalla is in imminent mortal danger.

Structure
The primary structure of Rex is sold cast from a material referred to as Super Alloy. The material is cast in a hexagonal lattice structure designed to maximize material strength relative to material usage. The mounting structures are made of a less expensive material referred to as Super Steel.

Power Source
The primary power supply for Rex is a zero point energy generator mounted in the core of his central chassis. This distributes power to the various systems through superconductive conduits. Thermal waste is exhausted through an armored vent and radiators located on the back of the central torso.
