Description

The Grim Reaper was a 'Mech designed by ComStar to help replenish the heavy material losses suffered by the Com Guards during the Battle of Tukayyid, with the Word of Blake maintaining production after it captured Terra to help rebuild and expand the Word of Blake Militia. Thus the Grim Reaper is seen in moderate numbers in both secular and fanatical militaries.[1]

Designed to be a generic trooper 'Mech, the Grim Reaper carries a varied and non specialized weapons payload. 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 armor, 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-PR31 - A modification that focuses on long range combat and overall speed, the PR31 variant of the Grim Reaper carries an ER PPC as its primary weapon. It also carries an 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 an 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 while the 'Mech is operating in its optimum heat range. BV (1.0) = 1,347
