Product Description

The IFHV-03-Mk.II Archon Infantry Fighting Hover Vehicle was another one of Maxwell Dynamics parts bin specials. The Archon is a large infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) that could carry up to 16 Cyclone riders or 24 light infantrymen. It is constructed using a variety of off the shelf components, to include the cockpit section from the then new Beta Fighter, pre-charger sections from the Alpha fighter and the Karbarran HPC-22 (Harbent 3-6458) Particle Beam Cannon turret from the HWR-23 Wolf Heavy Weapons Robot. The Archon came about through a UEEF requirement for an IFV that was big enough to carry a significant number of infantrymen equipped with Cyclones. Maxwell Dynamics accomplished this in true overkill fashion. The Archon was a beast of an IFV. Not only could it carry 16 Cyclone riders, it also had enough armor and fire power to fill the role of a tank. Its only short coming was that its size limited it to being droppable only by the UEEF’s dwindling supply of Kitsune-class logistics dropships.
