Technical and Historical Notes:
The Messala Dinofaust Alpha is second of the Agressive Beast Formed Suit (AFBS) line, a downgraded version of the Dinofaust Jupiter prototype intended for mass-production. The Alpha lacks the manipulator arms of the prototype unit, meaining that it doesn't have the capacity to handle objects, other than grapsing with its feet. The Alpha instead has two multipurpose latches that can equip a number of weapons. At present, the suit can equip either two missile pods (as pictured), or two diffusion beam cannons, (or one of each). The diffusion beam cannon fires a shotgun-like sperad of beams that stops missiles and other slow-moving projectiles, a sort of "beam chaff". It is not very effective against faster-moving projectiles like bullets and bazooka shells. The diffuse beam cannon doesn't damage enemy suits at long range, but when used at close range it can be quite potent. Like the Dinofaust Jupiter, the suit also mounts the heavy mega particle cannons/booster binders.
