Overview:
The GMN-1 Gremlin is a new Mech design by Team Banzai's weapon design group. Team Banzai
wanted a Mech that could satisfy three priorities, it had to be light and effective, easy to
mass produce, and take advantage of the latest technology. The Gremlin easily fits the bill,
and the first prototype was available for field test by early 3052.
Capabilities:
Manufactured by Johnson Industries, the Gremlin is unique for its 15 ton weight. The Gremlin
features the newly developed Kallon Unity Weave Ferro-Fibrous armor, which protects the
Foundation Ultralight Endo-Steel chassis. Armed with only two Intek medium lasers and two
Exostar small lasers, heat buildup the MASC circuitry, the Gremlin is very mobile.
The design and the capabilities of the Gremlin are astounding. However, some critics charge
that the Gremlin is too light for the Mech to be able to perform its duties, and that it
will fail miserably. Supporters of the Gremlin say otherwise, pro-Gremlin supporters argue
that the Gremlin can perform as well as a 30 ton Hermes. They also point out that recon Mech
pilots often enjoy piloting the Gremlin because of its ability to attain high speeds.
Deployment:
With all the controversy surrounding the Gremlin, it is not surprising that it has entered
the limelight. The Gremlin has gained a reputation as of late. The field trials at the
Johnson proving ground have been excellent. As a result, the Federated Commonwealth has
placed an order for an unknown quantity to field as recon units. With the creation of a
practical 15 ton Mech, Team Banzai has opened a new window into building practical and
innovativeBattleMechs.
