ARMOR: MDC Foam-Metal Composites layered between reactive nano-gel and diamond ceramics.

COST: CLASSIFIED.

Designed and manufactured by Aztechnology mere months after the unveiling of the JG-55 "Hellraiser", it is the second mass-produced Coreline-built Jaeger design on the market.

The "Diablo" owes a great deal of inspiration to the Cthulhutech universes' New Earth Government "Sword"-series mecha (and would be pretty much a flat-out rip-off if not for its classification as (and using the control systems of) a Jaeger, plus some additional gizmos). The design uses Magitek on several of its gadgets and its weapons systems, giving it an edge against the Kaiyu if it's piloted by magic-capable (or ki-generating) beings (and the more they can produce of either, the keener said edge is).

The reporting name is very much meant to be an insult to Aztechnology, owing to the fact that 1) its factory color scheme uses a lot of red, 2) Aztech has a history of using nasty archane rituals (such as blood magic and human sacrifices to Aztec gods) to empower magical artifacts, and 3) it sounds like a luchador "heel", which is just plainly what Aztech doesn't wants the "Magnifico" to be seen as.

Acknowledging the Latin American translation of "Futurama" and the "Angel" episode "The Cautionary Tale Of Numero Cinco" for inspiration on the reporting name).
