Gauntlet GTL-1OB

The GTL-1OB is a 55-ton skirmisher that swaps the GTL-1O's Thunderbolt 10 and Heavy PPC for a battery of five Medium Lasers in each arm, with a Medium Pulse Laser in the right torso replacing the missile rack's stand-off punch with a close-quarters barrage. It cruises at 54 km/h and tops out near 86, with a MASC-driven sprint of 108 km/h; the base configuration's added supercharger is absent here, so this configuration falls short of the GTL-1O's combined MASC-and-supercharger sprint of 135 km/h. A Guardian ECM suite and a coolant pod occupy the right torso alongside the retained MASC, while the left torso carries a targeting computer and a second coolant pod in place of the GTL-1O's CASE installation. Unlike the base configuration, this variant also carries jump jets rated to 150 metres. Coventry Metal Works builds it at Coventry.
