What is known is that the Emperor-class Titans are essentially walking cathedrals that can house entire companies of troops in their legs and pack firepower sufficient to do ground-to-orbit duty against enemy spaceships and devastate entire cities in one shot. There are also reports of mecha large and powerful enough to metaphorically mop the floor with even Emperor-class Titans, such as the Apocalypse-class. In game terms, an official model for an Emperor-class Titan has never been produced, but it's said that if one was built to scale with the Space Marine models, it would be the size of a ten-year-old. Similarly, anything large enough to take down an Emperor-class is probably large enough that if a model was ever made, with a bit of work with power tools you could <em>wear it</em> to a tournament.<span class="notelabel" onclick="togglenote('note2kh3m');"><sup>note </sup></span><span id="note2kh3m" class="inlinefolder" isnote="true" onclick="togglenote('note2kh3m');" style="cursor:pointer;font-size:smaller;display:none;"> Though maybe this is for the best — considering the usual <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrackIsCheaper' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrackIsCheaper' data-format='W1tDcmFja0lzQ2hlYXBlciBwcmljZXNdXQ=='>prices</a> of the models, an Emperor-class Titan model would most likely be in the multi-10,000$-range <em>at least</em>.</span> </li><li> The Castigator — its full designation being the Castigator-class autonomous bipedal weapons platform — an entity encountered in <em><a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/DarkAdeptus' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/DarkAdeptus' data-format='TGl0ZXJhdHVyZS9EYXJrQWRlcHR1cw=='>Dark Adeptus</a></em>, is a surviving Dark Age Titan, and representative of the original model for these machines — the modern type is essentially just a moderately successful attempt at replicating the Castigator's design.
