The ''Goliath'' is based on lessons that were learned from the ''[[Scorpion_(BattleMech)|Scorpion]]''. The first and most important difference is that the ''Goliath'' weighs in at 80 tons allowing it to carry a much heavier weapons payload and armor at the cost of mobility. The ''Goliath'' is used as a general assault 'Mech and until recently was not usually seen in large numbers because of the bias against quad 'Mechs prior to the 3060s. In the late 3060s, the ''Goliath'' saw renewed production and renewed popularity and has since become a powerful and respected assault 'Mech. In [[3143]], The [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno]] plant on Stewart was captured by [[Clan Wolf]], and its GOL-6M variant production line converted to produce a Clan version of the 'Mech. ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Goliath'' is armed with what would be considered a paltry armament for a 'Mech of its size. The primary weapon is a [[Rand]] [[PPC]]. This is backed up by two [[Holly]] [[LRM-10]] launchers. The ''Goliath'' has respectable firepower at long ranges, but when an enemy closes though the 'Mech only has two [[Ramsey-65]] [[Machine Gun]]s to rely on for defense. ==Variants== *; GOL-2H : The [[3067]] 2H is a [[Periphery]] refit of the 1H model. The 'Mech removes the Machine Guns from the chassis and adds in their place six [[Rocket Launcher 10]]s. This gives the ''Goliath'' a very powerful close range punch.<ref name=TRJp160f /> BV (1.0) = 1,346, BV (2.0) = 1,583<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 192</ref> *; GOL-3L : This is a [[Capellan Confederation]] variant introduced in [[3082]]. A larger engine increases the top speed of the ''Goliath'' to approximately 86 km/h. Equipped with [[Stealth Armor]] and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] for protection, the 'Mech carries an [[ER PPC]] and two [[MML-7]]s. Though the ammo in the side torso is protected by [[CASE]], the ammo in the center torso isn't.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 262</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,826<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 193</ref> *; GOL-3M : The 3M is a [[3047]] upgrade of the ''Goliath'' that uses [[Star League]] technology. The 'Mech has had a [[Hermes 320 XL|Hermes 320]] [[XL engine]] installed to reduce the engine's weight by half. The 'Mech retains the LRM launchers and Machine Guns of the 1H model. The 'Mech replaces the PPC with a [[Zeus Slingshot]] [[Gauss rifle]] which gives the ''Goliath'' devastating long-range firepower. The 'Mech still suffers from its close combat deficiencies but with its updated arsenal most 'Mechs are hard pressed to close to short range. BV (1.0) = 1,310, BV (2.0) = 1,537<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 194</ref> *;GOL-3M2 : A slight evolution of the 3M, the 3M2 drops the machine guns and their explosive ammo and replaces them with a pair of [[Small Pulse Laser]]s. Otherwise this variant is identical to the 3M. BV (2.0) = 1,537<ref name=RGv22p6/> *; GOL-3S : One of the "new generation" of ''Goliath''s, the 3S's engine has been upgraded to a [[light fusion engine]], and, as a result, it now carries thirteen and an half tons of armor. The entire arsenal has been stripped from the 'Mech and the 3S carries as its primary weapon an [[LB-X Autocannon/20]]. This is backed up by three [[ER medium laser]]s. For longer-range engagements, the ''Goliath'' carries an [[LRM-10]] launcher with an [[Artemis IV]] fire control system as well as an [[ER Large Laser]]. BV (1.0) = 1,374, BV (2.0) = 1,828<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 195</ref> *; GOL-4S : The [[3067]] 4S ''Goliath'' is built using a [[Pitban 320 Light|Pitban 320]] [[Light Fusion Engine]] to save weight. The saved weight is used to mount a new [[Defiance Hammerfist]] [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]. The 4S also carries a [[Light Crossbow]] LRM-10 launcher for long-range support and for closer ranges the 'Mech also carries two [[RAMTech 1500Z]] ER medium lasers. The rework of the classic includes a new [[Earthwerks GOL Quad-A]] chassis, [[Durallex Heavy]] armor with CASE, even new electronics – [[Angst Clear Channel 3G]] comms and an [[Angst Clear View Multitask]] T&T system.<ref name=TRJp160f /> This arsenal makes the 4S extremely deadly at close ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,730, BV (2.0) = 1,912<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 196</ref> or 1,730<ref name=TRJp160f /> *; GOL-5D : The 5D uses some of the newest technology available to the [[Federated Suns]] in 3067. The 'Mech is built based on the rugged older 1H chassis and standard engine. The 'Mech carries as its primary weapon a [[rotary autocannon/5]]. This is backed up by four ER medium lasers and two [[machine gun]]s. The lasers and autocannon are all linked to an advanced [[Targeting Computer]] which gives the ''Goliath'' deadly accuracy at long ranges.<ref name=TRJp160f /> BV (1.0) = 1,668, BV (2.0) = 1,975<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 197</ref> *; GOL-5W : The 5W variant of the ''Goliath'' is armed with two [[Ceres Arms Crusher]] [[Plasma Rifle]]s which not only inflict damage on their targets but heat as well. The 5W is also armed with three medium lasers for close combat. The 'Mech has a Guardian [[ECM Suite]] which is needed to properly use its sixteen and a half tons of [[Stealth Armor]]. Additionally, the 'Mech has a [[Small cockpit|Small Cockpit]] that is cramped and makes the 'Mech harder to pilot but saves valuable weight. The 'Mech also has an [[Improved C3 computer]], allowing it to share targeting telemetry with similarly equipped units.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 262</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,030<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 198</ref> *; GOL-6H : This variant uses a Light Engine to power a design that is similar to the 3M, but with added anti-[[infantry]] capabilities.

BV (2.0) = 1,676<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1237/goliath-gol-6h MUL profile for the GOL-6H]</ref> *; GOL-6M : This ''Goliath'' variant mounts a Gauss Rifle and [[MML-7]] in an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[BattleMech Turret]]. An additional MML-7 and several leg-mounted lasers (both [[Small VSP Laser]]s and ER medium lasers) provide additional firepower.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 262</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,742<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 200</ref> *;GOL-7C : A light 320 rated engine saves several tons for upgraded equipment on the 7C Goliath. Converted from a long-range sniper to a mid- to close-range brawler, the 7C follows the traditional layout. An [[Ultra AC/10]] is the primary weapon in the right torso. The LRM-10s have been replaced with [[Streak SRM-6]]s. Two tons of Streak ammo and four tons of AC ammo are all stored in a [[CASE II]] magazine in the left torso. A pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s replace the machine guns. BV (2.0) = 1,888<ref name=RGv22p6/> *;GOL-7K : Outwardly resembling the traditional 1H, the 7K packs a slew of new technology. The standard PPC is gone, and in its place is a [[PPC Capacitor]] enhanced [[Heavy PPC]]. This provides tremendous long-range hitting power. The LRMs have been replaced with [[Apollo FCS]] enhanced [[MRM-10]]s. The original [[Machine Gun]]s remain, but now share a half ton ammo bin protected by [[CASE II]] along with the MRM ammo in the left torso. Four [[M-pods]] provide a nasty surprise to anything that gets too close to this Goliath. The Light 320 engine is enhanced with a left torso mounted [[Supercharger]] making this the fastest Goliath ever made at 86kph. 12 double heatsinks do an adequate job of cooling the design. BV (2.0) = 1,894<ref name=RGv22p6/> *;GOL-7R : Starting with a light 320 rated engine saved several tons for equipment on this new model of Goliath. A [[Gauss Rifle]] resides in the right torso as the main gun. The traditional [[LRM-10]]s remain in each side torso. The machine guns have been removed and replaced with a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s, one in each side torso. [[CASE II]] is used in each side torso to protect the mech from ammo and Gauss explosions. 15 tons of [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] Armor protects the mech. BV (2.0) = 1,888<ref name=RGv22p6/> *; ''Goliath C'' : An [[Advanced Technology|Advanced]] Clan Tech conversion of the GOL-6M created by [[Clan Wolf]] in [[3143]]. The weapons are converted to Clan versions while retaining the BattleMech Quad Turret. The Quad Turret houses a Clan Gauss Rifle, teamed with Clan [[ER Large Laser]] and [[Micro Pulse Laser]]. A single [[ATM 9]] with two tons of ammo, and a single Clan ER medium laser in the head round out the 'Mech's offensive weaponry. On each leg the 'Mech has a [[B-Pod]], and [[CASE II]] is mounted in of the 'Mech's legs. The hull of the 'Mech is protected by fourteen and a half tons of [[Inner Sphere]] armor.
