This is the newest addition to the USCM arsenal in the fight to eradicate the xenomorph threat, the Mobile Offensive eXoskeleton number 3 of 16 (also known as a "Berserker"). This two ton, 8.5', heavy armored and self powered exoskeleton is piloted by a volunteer who was greatly interested in commanding the power that only a MOX can offer.
(these "volunteers" are usually borderline psycho military inmates who only want to destroy. To be placed inside one of these suits is more akin to trading one prison for another, as those who are placed inside never come out unless they die.)
MOX units are kept under constant, extremely heavy sedation untill they are set on their mission.
A beacon is usually set in very close proxmity to the queen or hive center by a team member who allows themself to be taken prisoner by the xenomorph drones. The Berserker is atuned to this beacon and upon release from sedation, immediately homes in on the beacon. Heavy amounts of adrenalin and other stimulants are introduced into the MOX's human pilot causing him to destroy everything in it's path, and ultimately, the queen herself. The heavy sedation is the reason for this, if he wakes up, even a tiny bit, he's likely to cause massive amounts of damage, and the death of anyone unlucky enough to show up on it's motion tracker. The rage and drive to destroy makes for an unstoppable juggernaut of destruction and death. After the queen has been dispatched, sedation is reactivated, any remaining xenomorph lifeforms are destroyed by team members, the MOX and beacon "runner" are retrived and return to base.

The weapons housed within the MOX are tried and true.
-On-board magazine holding a total of 850,000 10mm rounds, 1K M40 grenades
-Quad pulse gun firing 10mm explosive tip caseless rounds @ 900rpm each
-Two M40 grenade launchers @ 15rpm each
-One Naptha flame thrower with electric ignition
-One electroprod capable of generating 150,000 volts
-three light sources with a combined output of 8,000 lm
-on-board laser mapping and synced motion tracker

"I once saw the destruction caused by a MOX unit, now I always make sure to stay well behind one if it's on a sorte nearby. It was down-right chilling."
-SSGT. M. Shockley, USCM

Is that a good thing? ;)

I also forgot to mention I got this idea from a book called Aliens: Tribes, that's where the idea of the MOX first appeared.

I wish I had a better camera, or better photo taking skills, these pictures don't do it justice. I did a ton of weathering on this and it just doesn't show. The MOX has to go through Hell to get to the queen. Every warrior drone in the hive decends on him and they don't stop attacking untill they are litterally ground into the floor. Acid, fire, explosions, xenos scratching, biting, clawing, stinging.

Horrible...and beautifull.
