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 then optimal armor protection.

Armament

The Grim Reaper is a 'Mech that is built to handle many combat roles so its weapons mix tries to fill as many roles as possible. The 'Mech carries a Holly LRM 20 to be able to provide long range fire support. The 'Mech then 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 and 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 a ER PPC as its primary weapon which is backed up by a LRM 20 launcher with an Artemis IV fire control system the PR31 is a 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 and the 'Mech is outfitted with Triple Strength Myomer allowing it to reach speeds of 97.2 kph when the 'Mech is operating in its optimum heat range. BV (1.0) = 1347
