About

This is Melisia, where as seen in the previous work, tornadoes occur up to 5 times a day. The TIR Team stationed there and Storm Chasers from other regions have gathered.

Characters

DOW-8

No official maximum endurance rating. Equipped with the latest mobile Doppler radar and meteorological sensors. Used as a radar vehicle for studying internal winds and the formation process of tornadoes. Part of the Storm Chasers. Male.

TIV2

Endurance: approx. 400 km/h. Equipped with heavy armor, anchoring spikes, lowering skirts, and an IMAX camera. A vehicle designed for direct interception and filming of powerful tornadoes. Male. Has a bit of PTSD regarding EF4s (from the 2013 Lebanon, OK incident...)

Dominator-3

Also known as Dom3 or DOM3. Endurance: approx. 320 km/h. Equipped with composite armor, armored glass, air suspension, and meteorological sensors. Used for tornado tracking and scientific observation. Has spikes. Female. Said to be quite reckless...

TIR-1

The meat shield of the TIR Team, the craziest and most reckless of the bunch. Male (though not strictly necessary). Based on a T-80U tank, it can withstand up to 2900 km/h. Equipment includes spikes and ground-anchoring claws.

TIR-3

The commander and leader of the TIR Team. Being the leader, he is very cautious, but he cares for the team very, veeeeery much. Male. Uses a radar with better performance than real-world Doppler radars. Cold-headed but spares nothing for the sake of the team. Equipped with stabilizers and lowering skirts. Endurance: up to 225 km/h.

TIR-2

A vehicle similar in form to the real-world SCOUT. Based on the K151 command vehicle, she uses her high speed to reach coordinates marked by TIR-3, deploys probes and observation equipment, and then retreats. Female. If wind speeds are below 200 km/h, she lowers her own stabilizers to observe. As noted, endurance is up to 200 km/h. Equipment includes claws and an IMAX camera.

TIR-4

A recovery and transport vehicle used for moving overturned vehicles or equipment after a tornado passes. Unusually, it has no stabilizers (meaning it wasn't built to withstand tornadoes). Male. Equipped with a single crane. As a side note, it has a large cargo space, so TIR-2 frequently uses it as a probe shuttle...
