“ Developed by the mysterious Rhodes Project, the Ares is the first-ever colossal-class 'Mech. Tipping the scales at an unprecedented 130 tons, these hulking 'Mechs are both gun platforms and impromptu infantry transports for armies with pockets deep enough to hire them.

These three 'Mechs are each named after a Greek god, mortal men tremble at their approach! ”
