Pony Armored Scout Vehicle

Pony Armored Scout Vehicle

The Pony, and it's big brother the Bronco, make use of relatively new technology.  By using a combination of metals and plastics, the manufacturer has managed to created a lightweight, upright vehicle that walks (or runs) on two legs.  The Pony has incredible agility and true all terrain capabilities because of this.

The Pony is not designed for heavy combat, usually armed only with twin forward mounted autocannon and a special missile delivery system known as the Kicker (manufactured only for the Pony).  However, for close support and reconnaissance operations, it is without equal.  Though some pilots were less than enthusiastic about its open cockpit design, it has proven itself more than capable of carrying out its primary mission.

The Kicker missile system is  a dual turret mounted three pack of short range missiles.  It has the same auto-reload features that its bigger cousins have, but is more compact  and better suited to the Pony's configuration.
