The Monster destroid is the largest weapon system ever fielded by the Robotech Defence Force (RDF). Designed to field the largest calibre of artillery on a mobile platform, the Monster can, for a few seconds, out shoot an old World War II battleship.        

Well armoured around its cockpit and ammunition magazine, but the rest of the mecha is only fitted with anti-splinter armour, to keep the weight down.

The Destroid Monster is not really intended for the front lines, although it is,  occasionally used for the front lines.     

Designed as a mobile siege cannon, intended for use against heavily armoured targets such as starships and planetary bases. The Monsters main armament is optimised for armour-piercing qualities
