The Achilles-Class of Tripods - primarily referred to as 'Achilles' - were steam/dieselpunk vehicles created by A.R.E.S.
Standing at 65ft tall and running on a diesel-fueled steam and combustion engine, the Achilles-class Tripods were larger than both the smaller Spartan and Hermes-class and also possessed a great amount of firepower including machine guns (both singular and on a turret), a rocket launcher capable of firing three light rockets and that could fold back when not in use, a cannon on full turret at the top of the machine and a Heat Ray. They are A.R.E.S second most powerful Tripods - beaten only by the newer class of Achilles Tripods - and the best hope of beating the Martians and their Fighting-machines. A notable version from this class was the Beowulf.
The Tripods were named after Achilles - a near-invulnerable warrior who became a hero in the Trojan War in Ancient Greece.
