Tammy is a Melee Type Frame Girl produced by Alternate Attack. She uses a Mixed Martial Arts attack style and specialises in disabling opponents through a combination of hand-to-hand strikes and joint locks.
Appearance
Strategy
Tammy's body is able to store a reserve pool of additional nanites in her body, which is intended to fuel the 'bleeding' effect of her red-dyed nanopolymer leaching out of designated injury areas such as her nose and mouth. While this feature is primarily intended for aesthetic purposes, the extra reserve of nanites also affords Tammy extended durability in battle, allowing her to self repair mid-fight and endure punishment that would cause other models to break down. As a result, Tammy is suitable for slugfests where both combatants forgo defense and exchange blows until one collapses. Tammy is also highly skilled in trapping Frames in joint locks, forcibly exerting pressure on a joint until it breaks and disables the attached limb. While Frames do not surrender when trapped in a submission the same way a human combatant might, the threat of disabling an arm or leg does empower Tammy with a strong intimidation factor that can lead to opponent's second guessing their decision making, and hesitating to retaliate to Tammy's attacks. An effective strategy for Tammy is to punish opponents attempting to avoid a submission by instead freely landing hooks or kicks without worrying about a counter hit.
Tammy excels in battles where she is able to exert offensive pressure on an opponent and stay in close range. Against other Melee Frames who typically use weapons, Tammy is able to neutralise much of their offense if she is able to move into close quarters where weapons become less effective. Conversely, Tammy has few options that directly counter Ranged attackers. She is able quickly close distance in mid range engagements, but has virtually no options for long range defense besides simply attempting to chase down her attacker. Thusly, fights against long range specialists are usually extremely one-sided; either Tammy catches her opponent and secures a quick victory, or suffers a drawn out defeat where she is picked off from afar.
Personality
Tammy units are boisterous, loud-mouthed and always eager to fight. A commonly observed habit in Tammies is their tendency to peacock around other Frame Girls attempting to exert confidence. They will often comment on whether they could beat a Frame Girl in a fight on first meeting.
Tammies love fighting for its own sake and love to exchange blows. While almost all Frame Girls need training to learn proper self-preservation in a combat setting, Tammies are exceptionally prone to forgoing their own safety in the name of chasing a good fight. Due to a combination of their self confidence and ability to repair, they will often goad opponents into 'taking free shots' as a dominant gesture.
