Description
The Grim Reaper is a 'Mech that was built by ComStar to replenish their depleted forces after the Battle of Tukayyid which had caused a great deal of material losses in the ranks of the ComGuards. The Grim Reaper is designed to be a trooper 'Mech and intended to fill many roles. The 'Mechs varied and non specialized weapons payload reflects this. To make the most of the Grim Reapers chassis, a Core Tek 275 XL Engine is used to propel it up to speeds of 86.4 kph while taking up only eight tons. The 'Mech is also armored with ten and a half tons of StarGuard 3056 Ferro-Fibrous which provides it with slightly less than optimal armor protection.
Armament
The Grim Reaper is a 'Mech that is built to handle many combat roles and its weapons mix reflects this. The 'Mech carries a Holly LRM-20 to be able to provide long range fire support. The 'Mech also has a Blankenburg ER Large Laser for long range direct fire. For close range support, the 'Mech is armed with a Blankenburg Medium Pulse Laser which is backed up with a Holly SRM-6 launcher. Finally, the 'Mech carries a McArthur II Anti-Missile System for added protection against missile attacks.
Variants
- GRM-R-PR30 - The PR30 Grim Reaper modifies the 'Mech to have a little more direct fire capability. The 'Mech carries a ER PPC as its primary weapon. This is supported by a LRM-15 launcher with an Artemis IV Fire Control System. The 'Mech has also had the Medium Pulse Laser replaced with an ER Medium Laser and the Anti-Missile System has been removed to allow a improved C3 computer to be added to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,250
- GRM-R-PR31 - A modification that focuses on long range combat and overall speed, the PR31 variant of the Grim Reaper carries a ER PPC as its primary weapon. It also carries a LRM-20 launcher with an Artemis IV fire control system making the PR31 an extremely powerful bombardment 'Mech. The 'Mech also carries an ER Medium Laser and an ER Small Laser for close combat along with a improved C3 Computer to allow it to share targeting data. Finally, the PR31 is outfitted with Triple Strength Myomer allowing it to reach speeds of 97.2 km/h when the 'Mech is operating in its optimum heat range. BV (1.0) = 1,347
