Are you tired of the same old, run of the mill, quickly thrown together APUs that seem to be flooding the market ? If so, get ready for the next level in APU technology....GRIM.

After much extensive research and development by the top scientist and R&D people of several nations, we are happy to announce the release of the ultimate fighting machine, GRIM

The Giant Robotic Infantry Machine combines strength, flexability, and reliability into one powerpacked combat machine.

Just have a look at what we have to offer...

Giant Robotic Infantry Machine Statistics
Height: - 6 meters
Max Speed: - 20 km per hour
Armor: - Nogra - V4 Armour 30 mm all over & 40 mm around the cockpit.
Power Supply: - Lithium-Tritium powered generators with a collapsible solar array, to provide recharging ability for emergencies or stand-by mode.
Weapon Systems
2 ten-barrelled Slagkattungerian 30 mm Gatling-type rotary cannon & cooling system that allows continuous fire of 2,100 rpm.
2 Micro-Missile SAM launchers (1 each side) 3 missiles per launcher
1 Grenade launcher (on left side of torso)
Ammunition Amount
4 ammo bins (2 per side)[list:09ef02de6e] 2 bins of High Explosive Rounds: - 5,250 rounds per bin. 2 bins of Armor Piercing Rounds: - 5,250 rounds per bin.
1 Grenade Ammo Bin (Left side, part of the grenade launcher): - 30 Smoke Rounds[/list:u:09ef02de6e]
Notes
The pilot is in a enclosed armoured cockpit, he/she sits in shock absorbing chair with a pull down harness. The pilot “sees” out by looking at a virtual reality screen that gives 180 degrees of vision of the outside, this is provided by an array of micro cameras around the cockpit. If the screen is inoperative the armor over the cockpit can be raised to allow manual vision of the surroundings. This is not recommended as the bullet proof glass cannot protect the pilot as well as the armor does, but is adequate in emergencies.
An Advance A.I. system is used to monitor the unit status. (Unable to override pilot)
A HUD system which is tied into the A.I. which can highlight targets & other points of interest.
The Armor Piercing Rounds are for tanks & other hard targets, while the HE Rounds are for soft targets such as people, vehicles, supply dumps etc. The pilot can switch between the two types of Rounds. Further more the ammunition is made from advance lightweight materials to reduce weight; please note that the AP rounds function like depleted uranium sabot rounds but do not contain depleted uranium.
Advanced Radar that can monitor ground & air activity with a range of 50 km
Infrared system to pickup heat sources within 10 km of the unit.
Rear facing cameras so the pilot can monitor the rear.
Standard high beam headlight on the head in the middle that can turn in the direction of the pilot gaze.
Air filtration system with 12 hours supply of air for under water/ vacuum use (the use of a space suit is recommended for space operations).
Environmental system to keep the pilot at a comfortable temperature, can be used to reduce the units Infrared signature if pilot can cope with the cold.
Standby mode is where the majority of systems are offline except for communications, Environmental and Air Filtration.

Missile System Information
Each system only carries 3 Micro-Missiles before needing reloading.
Slagkattunger Surface to Air Micro-Missile
http://www.users.on.net/killerkoala/SAMM.JPG
Range:- 10 Kilometres
Missile Speed:- 1645 Kmph
Warhead:- High Explosive
Blast Radius:- 1.2 meters
Tracking System:- Infra Red seeking
Notes:- Main targets are Helicopters, other VTOL's & low flying Aircraft.

The Gradenk Nogra V-4 Material is a specially constructed composite, made out of titanium, interwoven with ceramic, silicon’s and platinum’s. The molecule structure is such that it could withstand a direct nuclear blast (slightly higher than the combined nuclear yield used in WW2 against Japan ).

Nogra - V4 Armour.
- Nuclear, chemical and biological Protection.
- EMP shielding
- light weight ( compared to larger tanks like M1A2 or other powerful variants )
- It can withstand a direct burst (in point blank range ) of up to 160mm Cannons and up to 65 mm machine gun fire.
- Aero-Gel packs to help absorb the impact of such force.

Being sold for the open market by Celeborne at a cost of $50 Million per Unit.

We will also provide training to one pilot per six units purchased at no cost. This person will not only be trained on use and maintance but he/she will also be given the tools to teach the use of the grim to other pilots.

Units can be modified to accommodate other races/species.

Remember, when it comes to combat equipment :If you go cheap , you get dead

There is no way a 2 day old nation can afford $125,000,000,000 even for 1 RL day let alone 4 RL day. I say no & make a more reasonable request (say 10 a day).

Celeborne, The Republic of Ancient Terra sends you greetings.

We are in the process of renovating our Armored Corps, and your GRIMs would be well suited to supporting our heavier, more conventional tanks in an advance.

We'd like to purchase 2,000 units per day over 5 days, for a total of 10,000 GRIMs. We will wire the money as soon as the order is confirmed. We have no special requirements, and thank you for considering our order.

"Dave there is a heat source here" The AI highlights a faint red glow.

"Ah thanks Hal didn't see that, now what is that doing there?"

*Bam*
*Ping*
"Holy Sh*t! he fired at us! Activating HE rounds"

The GRIM's arm's swing up and connect to the HE feed then swing down primed to fire.

*BAM*
*PING*
"looks like he is trying to kill you Dave"
"You Think?" Dave responds sarcasticly as he lines up the heat source and squeezes a short burst off. The sniper and his hidey hole is quickly torn to shreads, the GRIM continues it patrol with 2 small dents in its armor over where the sniper had thought the pilot would be.

The battle continued at a feverish pitch, as squads of Ancient Terran infantry fought to secure the beachhead. Despite their inferior numbers, the Terran Infantry were easily decimating the opposing forces of Bristle...that is, until the enemy armor-support arrived. Abrams and Bradleys rolled across the beach, turning the highly-trained Terran infantry into retreat. Without the means to penetrate the tank's thick armor, the infantry quickly radioed to armor support. Their calls were quickly answered as the APU's rose out of the sea like ancient beasts, quickly taking aim with their powerful cannons.

The massive Abrams Battle Tank crested a hill and declined its 120mm cannon. There was a considerable shockwave as the first high-explosive round leapt out of the cannon towards the G.R.I.M.

However, as the smoke cleared, the 4 meter-tall mech was quite undamaged, besides a large dent in its left arm and lots of soot darkening the vehicle. Before the Abrams could retarget its gun for a second shot, the APU raised its arms and slammed hundreds of AP rounds into the seemingly invulnerable tank, punching through its armor like tissue paper and splattering the crew across the insides of their vehicle.

In the G.R.I.M, Sergeant Melkive lowered the machine's arms and stomped off towards the enemy's lines, switching to HE rounds as he neared the masses of infantry, intoning an excited "Target Eliminated" into his communication system.

Actual battle report of the G.R.I.M in action during a beach landing.

(ooc: Erm...well, Bristle doesn't have to know that. :D)

IC:

We are extremely pleased with the performance of the G.R.I.M. Two platoons, just 20 mechs, provided the backbone to our beachhead landing. The two platoons accounted for 63 pieces of armor, including 8 Abrams. Minor damage was recieved among the 20 mechs, but not a single one was lost. These machines performed exceptionally well, and we look forward to further purchases.

We have but one question: Do you plan on an upgrade that outfits the G.R.I.M with a larger cannon? Although the 30mm chain guns are extremely versatile, we encountered trouble taking out resistance members entrenched in bunkers and other fortified positions. We believe that a larger gun could fill out a niche "Heavy Support" role, and indeed take the place of heavy armor during an assault. Two G.R.I.M APU's fitted out with 105mm or 120mm high-explosive guns would provide a heavy punch to any platoon.

Friday sales bump.
Now with discounts for law enforcement !!!

I'm just curious, but how much do these things weigh? Also, do you know how many tons of armor they have?

Monday sales bump.

GRIM now available in many colors for the combat fashion minded.
