Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

"Charge all Bayonets!" is not necessarily a last resort command anymore.

Pictured left to right are the T.A.H. MK XII, MK XIV, and MK VIII "Bayonets"

 

Commonly deployed with small squads of the infantry, multiple variants of the T.A.H. "Bayonet" were seen throughout the years of open conflict. The Mark XII (left) featured upgraded Lancer cockpit cannons and two Farnsworth 52mm cannons on the port side. The MK XIV (center) is ceremonial variant; used for protecting important people, events, and places.

Ridiculously inexpensive to manufacture and equipped with interchangeable weapons systems, "Bayonets" were loved by the Devil Dogs they supported. After their introduction, infantry casualties dropped by over fifty percent. The Corps brass quickly voted for full integration and soon the ratio of Marines to "Bayonets" was five to one. A standard squad would consist of five to twelve Marines and one to two "Bayonets".

 

 

The battle ready variant "Bayonets" have multiple weapons mounted on their legs (only unlockable by a fellow Devil Dog).

A capable or injured Marine can also be strapped into the back and offered safety, as the Marines who operated MARK VIII's are trained never to retreat or surrender.
