Recognition notes
The Grasshopper (Reynolds) is a 70-ton heavy that fights at stand-off to medium range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Three ER large lasers anchor its firepower, one in the center torso pair and one in the head, while four ER medium lasers fill out the arms and torsos, one to a location. Eighteen Inner Sphere double heat sinks handle the engine's output, and the frame is noted for being rugged and field-serviceable. It carries no jump jets beyond a 120-meter hop, and is assembled as a field refit at various sites rather than a single dedicated plant.
