Recognition Notes
The Grasshopper GHR-5J is a 70-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 43 km/h and reaching 65 km/h with a single jump carrying it 120 metres. An ER large laser sits in the center torso backed by a medium laser in each arm, and an Anti-Missile System rides in the right torso. A Streak SRM 2 is fitted in the head, an unusual placement for the launcher. Twenty-two single heat sinks handle its fusion engine's output, and the chassis carries a rugged, field-serviceable frame. Lantren Corporation builds it at Bryant.
