==Description==
'''Gray Death Strike''' [[battle armor]] is a production version of the prototype. The [[Jihad]] stopped production at the [[Gray Death Technologies]] plants, and then [[Defiance Industries]] took over production. Defiance then moved production of the battle armor to [[Furillo]], which slowed production even more. After the Gray Death Technology plant was destroyed in [[3074]], it would be six years before Defiance produced a new Gray Death Strike suit.<ref name=trop12/>

==Armament==
Defiance Industries wasn't able to secure a source of the advanced [[Clan]] Improved SRM Launcher used on the prototype. As a result, Defiance used a single [[SRM-3 (battle armor)|SRM-3]] with two reloads. To make room for this the Gray Death Strike armor replaced the [[Battle Claw]]s of the prototype with [[Basic Manipulator]]s. The launcher can be jettisoned as well, allowing the unit to move slightly more quickly. The [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]] system mounted in the arm allows armor that has jettisoned the SRM launcher to remain useful on the battlefield, designating enemy units for [[artillery]] and missile strikes.<ref name=trop12/>

*; Prototype : This original version of the Strike suit was unique for being a hybrid of Inner Sphere and Clan technology.  Built under the supervision of technician Brian Kinnison, this suit removed the improved sensors and modular weapon mount of the [[Gray Death Standard]] battlesuit. In their place are a [[Clan]]-spec [[Detachable Missile Pack|detachable]] [[Advanced SRM 3|Advanced SRM-3]] launcher with three shots mounted on the suit's body and a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]] system in the left arm that can spot for artillery units or units carrying [[Semi-Guided LRM]].  Both arms ended in Battle Claws and the AP weapon mount was retained as were its movement capabilities and armor, although the missile launcher had to be jettisoned before anti-'Mech attacks could be made.  The reliance on Clan technology prevented the suit from reaching mass production, as not even [[Clan Diamond Shark]] was willing to sell enough components to justify such a move.  Although Defiance Industries eventually went with a redesigned production model using Inner Sphere technology, it was rumored they kept these prototype suits for their own security forces.

There are currently no known variants of Gray Death Strike armor.
 
 
*; HarJel : This [[Dark Age era]] variant of Gray Death Strike armor uses the same armor and equipment as the standard Gray Death Strike armor, but is also equipped with [[HarJel]] to protect the user. A [[Firedrake Needler]] is also present for anti-[[infantry]] work. BV (2.0) = 55<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 19</ref>
