The MF-SL-52C Solomco was unique among Gradosian designs in that it could transform from a humanoid SPT mode to a jet fighter-like flight mode. Because of this radically different design, the Solomco did not utilize the removable backpacks used by most other Gradosian SPTs. The Solomco also lacked the standard knuckle shots due to its transformable design. The Solomco’s weapons included a lasered gun rifle and a pair of laser cannons flanking the cockpit. Solomcos were widely used during the 1996 Gradosian invasion and occupation of Earth. A Solomco squad participated in the final battle of the occupation at Peru’s Nazca Lines on New Year’s Eve 1999.
