The Qwark mech[1] is a boss in Full Frontal Assault. It is a mech suit built in the image of Captain Qwark by his former superfan, Stuart Zurgo. Zurgo originally designed the suit when he still idolized Qwark[2] and hoped to be his sidekick,[3] but he later repurposed it for his revenge plot.[2] Zurgo piloted the mech during his final confrontation with the Q-Force in his lair on Ebaro, hoping to defeat his former idol and take his place as a hero.[2]
Characteristics[]
Concept art.
The Qwark mech is a large suit designed in the likeness of Captain Qwark; according to its designers, this was to make Zurgo's revenge more ironic.[1] The mech is protected by a raritanium hull and a Gadgetron energy shield, and it is armed with an OmegaTech fission blaster as its primary weapon.[2] The suit is also equipped with a jetpack and can fire missiles from its arms.
Combat[]
The Qwark mech's combat strategy revolves around its powerful, front-facing energy shield, which makes it invulnerable to direct attacks. The shield is powered by an exposed versa-fuse on the mech's back; destroying this fuse temporarily disables the machine. For offense, it uses a rapid-fire fission blaster and can launch missile barrages that set the terrain ablaze. Its pilot, Stuart Zurgo, can also summon grungarian brawlers for support and activate external pyrocidic detonators to create timed hazards. When critically damaged, the mech can destroy the arena floor and engage a final self-destruct sequence.
