Lost notes on the S.S. Frame

The blueprints and notes of Starhawk’s frame type, along with the team who designed them, had disappeared long before Starhawk was brought online.

The S.S. frames were designed for long distance space travel and have some of the most fuel efficient frames to date. They were created primarily for hunting down any traces of energon, but they could also be used as scouts and snipers/assassins.

The S.S. project, however, would never see success, as it was shut down just as they had started to send out small 3-4 packs of the new frames. It’s suspected the team overseeing the project had been attacked, but by who or why is unknown. Because of its early shutdown, S.S. frames are few in number, and it's unknown how many are online, let alone simply built (as in, having not yet been brought online).

S.S. Frames are characterized for their tall, thin, lightweight build and four wings, their primary wings being absurdly long. They have broad, flat chests that’s usually covered by sparse, simple kibble and have powerful legs. A well placed kick can easily decapitate a mech, or cave in their chest.

Part of why the S.S. mechs are so fuel efficient is their ability to very easily shut down non-essential functions, saving up as much of their energy as possible for long solo flights. They can go months, perhaps possibly years without needing to refuel.

S.S. mechs vary most notably by their head shapes. Their silhouettes generally look quite similar, though their patterning, colors and parts of their kibble can vary.

One thing all S.S. frame types share in common regarding their character, is their distaste for small spaces and general tolerance for being alone for very long periods of time, whereas most other mechs can go mad with loneliness.
