The B-ATM-03 Fatty was a mass production armored trooper developed by the Balarant Union as the successor to the earlier B-ATM-02 Blocker. Although the Fatty did not equal the Gilgamesh Federation’s ATM-09-ST Scopedog in power, it was produced in greater numbers and emphasized quantity over quality. Unlike the Scopedog’s gliding wheels, the Fatty moved through the use of several hover jets. The Fatty was equipped with a nozzle burner and magic hand. Its main handheld armaments included a catapult launcher and hardblade gun. Throughout the course of the war, the Balarant created several variants of the base Fatty design.
