Attack On Titan (MLP Crossover)

The Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear, also called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment or Omni-directional Mobility Gear, is a set of gear developed by humans that allows great mobility when facing the Titans in combat. The gear allows the user to fight in a 3D space as opposed to a 2D one. The gear itself takes the form of a body harness that encompasses much of the body below the neck. Although the Gear can grant a skilled user tremendous mobility, it is a demanding art that requires strength, and skill, both of which must be honed through constant practice. Some tools involved in the apparatus include:

Handgrips

Piston-shot grapple-hooks

Gas powered mechanism

Iron Wire Propeller with Plug in Blades

Usage 1:

The simplest move possible with the 3DMG is simply aiming and firing the grapple hooks at an object and then activating the gas mechanism to reel oneself toward said object. They can then disconnect the hook and continue moving forward.

Usually however, soldiers must be able to move around in order to navigate in general. Therefore, they tend to use their momentum in order to swing around targets.

Usage 2:

The Gear is only ever worn by soldiers who have either trained or are in training. To have the ability to wield the contraption the user must have an aptitude of balancing and a high level of core strength for they must be able to keep themselves upright whilst flying through the air and withstand the G-Forces provided by the enhanced mobility. The Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear is most commonly used by the Survey Corps due the to fact that their duty is to venture out into titan territory. It is least commonly used by the Military Police who barricade themselves within the Inner Walls where titans can never reach.

Origin:

Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear was invented between 775 and 788 (Over a hundred years before the events of this story) by Angel Fire-Smith, a first-class weapons craftsman who worked closely with the Survey Corps.
