The predecessor to the legendary and ubiquitous POW Armor, the Scope Duck is a recon vessel not entirely unlike those found in the R-9E series. It lacks the forward-facing canopy seen in later models.

Seeing a need for smaller, unmanned scout ships, the Space Corps gave the automated TW-1 Duckbill the sensor suite of the R-9E series and modified the main body; despite these changes, it maintains the offensive level of the Duckbill. This model would go on to become the POW Armor.
