==Description==
 
Rumored to be born of a barroom bet in [[Production Year::3073]] between [[Sergi Ivanovich]], chief tech of the [[Tooth of Ymir]] [[mercenary unit]], and his [[Kell Hounds]] counterpart [[Daniel Holstein]] that a heavily damaged and discarded hulk of a [[Wolf's Dragoons]] ''[[Annihilator]]'' couldn't be revived within six months, the project became a morale booster and garnered high-level support. Completed in just two months, beyond bragging rights, Ivanovich's prize was reportedly six cases of [[Lachan County Ale]].<ref name=XTROM/>

The very definition of a FrankenMech, the ''Schwerer Gustav'' is a hybrid combination of six different designs, primarily the ''Annihilator'', ''[[Verfolger]]'' and ''[[Berserker]]''. Underneath its strange exterior, a [[Hybrid Chassis|hybrid]] [[Chassis|standard]] and [[Endo Steel]] chassis serves as a sturdy frame for the advanced and standard equipment it carries. A 400-rated [[XL engine]] swaddled in fifteen [[double heat sink]]s gives the 'Mech surprising speed and staying power for its size, while a [[Compact Gyro]] frees space for a [[Bloodhound Active Probe]] in the center torso. Intended for service in the Tooth of Ymir's command lance, the ''Schwerer Gustav'' also includes a [[Command Console]] in the head to allow a tactical officer to enter direct combat.<ref name=XTROM/>
