==Description==
The '''Golem''' is a [[battle armor]] design that was created by [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. Following their [[Combine-Ghost Bear War|conflicts]] with first the [[Draconis Combine]], then [[Clan Hell's Horses]], the Bears decided they wanted something that could compete with the [[Kanazuchi]] and [[Gnome]]. The Golem is the result of that process and features enough armor to shrug off a [[Heavy Large Laser]]. In addition, this armor is fire resistant, so it is unaffected by [[Flamer]]s and [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]] rounds. Though it cannot jump, the Golem is still speedier than the other assault-class designs. While that does not make this battlesuit fast, it does give it the ability to bring its strong weapons to bear on a target, even as it can withstand the punishment meted out by an enemy.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO126>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 126</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The main guns on the Golem are its twin [[Bearhunter Superheavy Autocannon (Battle Armor)|Bearhunter Superheavy Autocannons]], one mounted under each arm. Though these weapons have a short range, they can deal a lot of damage for their size and are quite effective against unarmored [[infantry]]. For backup, the Golem mounts an [[Advanced SRM 5]] with a single reload. The advanced launcher is the closest thing battle armor has to a Streak missile system, including its range profile.<ref name=TRO127 />

==Variants==
*;Rock : The "Rock Golem" is produced by [[Clan Hell's Horses]]. It downgrades the missile launcher to a standard [[SRM-5 (battle armor)|SRM-5]]. The autocannons are replaced with a pair of [[Heavy Recoilless Rifle (Battle Armor)|Heavy Recoilless Rifles]], each in their own [[Detachable Weapon Mount]]. This gives the Golem greater range with virtually no loss in firepower, though the mounts do slow down the battlesuit to 10 km/h unless they are jettisoned.

* Fast Assault - This Horses variant goes in the opposite direction of the Rock Golem. It replaces the armor with standard battlesuit armor and retains the downgraded SRM launcher of the earlier variant, though it has the same protection. It reduces the ground speed to 10 km/h, but includes jump packs and a [[Jump Booster]] that enable it to jump ninety meters. This necessitated downgrading the weapon systems to a single [[Machine Gun]] and an [[Anti-Personnel Weapon Mount]].
