Knowing that their amphibious landing forces would be facing a variety of terrain types and combat situations, the Pacific Rim Forces command commissioned Komatsu Land Systems to create a balanced VT model which would be versatile enough to handle nearly any scenario. The answer to this request was the M-7-D-B Decider, a multi-role combat platform which far exceeded expectations for performance and effectiveness in the field. Initially designed to be a mid-range combat VT, the attack chassis profile was found to be compatible for mounting plasma torch melee weaponry, the addition of which made these VTs greatly feared by enemy forces.

There have been numerous reports of enemy units turning to run rather than face Decider pilots in close quarters combat. Extraordinarily strong primary weapon mountings allow this VT to arm the 315-TR twin rifle, a terrifying destructive short-to-mid range dual sabot weapon. The combination of these two weapons, the maneuverability and durability of the chassis and a respectable selection of secondary weapon offerings make this the VT of choice for PRF pilots.

Possibly one of the most successful VT models ever created, this VT can fulfill close combat, escort and scout roles and is only at a deficit when challenged with long distance capable opponents.



"Therefore, whoever wishes for peace, let him prepare for war."

A superior close to middle range combat VT, the Decider is devastatingly lethal with its 315-TR twin rifle and 140-MG machine gun options. Decent speed and durability make it the VT of choice for head-on engagements and circle-of-death encounters. The first Pacific Rim Forces VT to offer a melee weapon (the 205-PT) makes it particularly effective for indoor ambushes and blindside attacks on unobservant opponents.

Negatives for this VT include a lack of missile or grenade weapon option which can put it at a disadvantage as it must rely upon the rather limited range 67-CG chaingun sub-weapon. The rather low torque rating can make for some long hill climbs in 3rd or even 2nd gear, or difficulties in water or swampy terrain. This can be somewhat remedied if the plasma torch has been equipped. Retriggering the plasma torch will move the VT rapidly through (or up) the difficult terrain.
