==Description==
The '''Grenadier''' is a [[battle armor]] design created by the [[Hahm-Heinz Design Bureau]]. The firm has long had a relationship with [[General Motors]]' secondary plants on [[Talcott]] and [[Salem]], so when the [[NAIS]] first started creating battle armor, Hahm-Heinz had access to prototypes that they could work from. Though it took almost ten years from the commencement of the program to a prototype, Hahm-Heinz created the Grenadier, which was based on a concept design that was geared towards the most powerful weapons systems possible.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO34>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 34</ref>

The team still wanted mobility, however, so the Grenadier can muster up a respectable 21 km/h on the ground. The armor is where the Grenadier is lacking, having only enough to stop an [[Inner Sphere]] [[Large Pulse Laser]], the same amount as the venerable [[Inner Sphere Standard]]. This armor, however, is standard [[stealth armor]], so the Grenadier is a bit more difficult to target.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO35 />

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Grenadier comes equipped with a [[Modular Weapon Mount]] on the left arm, while it has an [[Anti-Personnel Weapon Mount]] on the right. The only fixed weapon is an [[SRM-4 (Battle Armor)|SRM-4]] in the body, along with seven shots, giving it remarkable staying power. The left arm mount can carry a variety of weapons, though a standard [[Small Laser (Battle Armor)|Small Laser]] is the most common, giving the Grenadier a punch similar to (but far greater than) the [[Elemental (battle armor)|Elemental]] battlesuit. The mount will also accept a [[Flamer (Battle Armor)|Flamer]], [[Magshot Gauss Rifle (Battle Armor)|Magshot Gauss Rifle]], [[Light Recoilless Rifle (Battle Armor)|Light Recoilless Rifle]], or a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]].<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO35 />

==Variants==
*;Hunter-Killer : This variant has had its battlefield endurance and flexibility reduced in favor of maximizing its killing power. It mounts an [[SRM-5 (Battle Armor)|SRM-5]] with only four shots, though that is still more ammunition than most battle armor with missiles carry. A [[Modular Weapon Mount|Missile-Capable Modular Weapon Mount]] can hold a Magshot or a [[Compact Narc Launcher]]. Finally, the anti-personnel mount has been replaced with a [[Firedrake Support Needler (Battle Armor)|"Firedrake"]] Support Needler<ref name=TRO35 />.
