DA-A-A-AMMIT! IT'S THE LAST TIME I'LL DO A GBHR (GIANT BATTLE HUMANOID ROBOT)!!!... Ah yeah. The Steel Ronin from C&C: RA3U is remained.
This is walfasized King Oni - a heavy anti-armor walker developed by the Empire of the Rising Sun during War of the Three Powers.
It remains unknown why the Japanese military was compelled to design such an unorthodox fighting machine such as this humanoid-shaped construct, which stands approximately six stories tall and evokes images of a mechanical, hulking ogre. However, battlefield performance reports of this vehicle are very sobering, and suggest that its bizarre form factor is not merely a play against enemy morale. Indeed, the King Oni's combat capabilities alone are more than enough to dampen an opposing army's spirits.
The "eyes" of this robot conceal energy weapons that can reduce a tank to molten ruin in seconds. The weapon seems to produce large recoil in shooting. King Oni are also remarkably capable of fighting with their own body, using its massive arms and shoulders to crush anything that stands in its way. An early battlefield report involving the King Oni suggested that just one of these robots, when faced with an entire tank platoon, simply charged the main battle tanks head-on. Their shots deflected off of the King Oni's white armor (which must be some sort of new compound), even as it barreled into the tanks, simply crushing them underfoot as though they were children's playthings.
It is currently unknown if the Oni is a piloted, remote-controlled, or autonomous vehicle because one has yet to be recovered or disassembled. It appears to be piloted, since Allied Spies can bribe it, as well as the fact that Yoshiro personally piloted one during Operation: To Tame a Living God (Soviet-perspective, arguably non-canon) as well as Commander Kenji during Operation: A House Unfit for Rebels. The only thing that seems obvious about the King Oni is its combat proficiency.
One consolation for the enemies of the Empire of the Rising Sun is that there is almost no way that the Empire could be manufacturing the King Oni in significant numbers. Military strategists surmise that it is impossible for the Empire of the Rising Sun to have constructed more than a handful of these remarkable machines, simply due to the resources required to produce them. The research-and-development costs alone must have been staggering, and the Empire would likely be deploying more of these battle walkers if it could. However, the credibility of intelligence regarding the Empire's production capacity currently seems somewhat dubious.
In terms of armor and firepower, the King Oni is equal the Soviet Apocalypse Tank, but will still lose to it in one-on-one fight because the King Oni has a somewhat slower animation when it starts to attack, though the Apocalypse Tank will still lose nearly all but a sliver of its health in the fight. If Apocalypse Tank uses its Magnetic Harpoon, it will win with much greater ease. The King Oni is faster, however, so Soviet players must be aware of flanking by the King Oni. It must be noted that in term of mobilization, the Allies' Assault destroyer wins due to their amphibious nature and their grip over the Chronosphere. The Future Tank X-1 is better at destroying swarms than the King Oni.
Like all units of its class, the King Oni is easy prey to Natasha's Badger Squadron Bombardment and her special ability to neutralize pilot assisted units, as well as the bribe ability of Allied Spies. A Terror drone team's special ability and the Tesla trooper's secondary mode can significantly immobilized it. Rogue Oni can be handled with ease by Rocket Angel lashes.
Also the Oni's very power and size singles them out in combat, and they would surely fall against a few aircraft, as even the Empire's Commanders can make the error of sending unescorted units into the front line, which historically has proven to be a deadly mistake that always results in obliteration.
King Oni had some modifications:
1) Greater King Oni: This King Oni has missile pods for AA-purposes, which possessed an extremely high rate of fire, giving it a very effective AA defense so much so that a Kirov airship surprisingly stands little chance against this King Oni variant (this means that unlike the normal varieties, it is better to use a ground attack than attack it from the air), upgraded armour and Rising Sun insignia all over it. Its lasers were also more powerful than any standard King Oni faced thus far.
Likely as the original prototype and the personal machine of the Emperor, no expense was spared in its creation and maintenance. From his final transmission to the Soviet General, it appears that the Emperor was bionically linked with the machine, suggesting that all King Onis have some sort of cockpit and allow the pilot to move as if it were their own body (which explains the humanoid appearance).
Although Emperor Yoshiro was thought to possess the only one, another was seen under the command of Kenji during Commander's Challenge along with several other normal King Onis. It was destroyed by the Futuretech Commander.
One can get a Greater King Oni if they're lucky by using Natasha's Snipe Pilot Ability in the mission Gosh Darn Mongolians!
The Greater King Oni is buildable in the Red Alert 3 Mod Shock Therapy.
2) Commander Kenji's King Oni: During the Allied Campaign in Osaka, Commander Kenji's modified King Oni appears, housed inside his luxurious estate. He uses it as a last resort to fight the Allies along with a small battalion of his men. When his estate is destroyed, he unleashes his modified battle walker with a reverse-engineered Tech inhibitor from the Allies, which disabled the usage of practically every unit and structure of the Allied Commander's arsenal. This variant has a different color scheme; mainly black and yellow with the usual red sunburst insignia of the Empire on its shoulders. He also modified its energy weapons to fire with more power, capable of killing with as much force as a veteran King Oni.
Archive includes three versions of King Oni (Stock, Commander and the Greater one) Each has 7 parts: Torso, two arm bases, two leg bases, two bent bases.
