A lumbering mountain of armor and weaponry, [[Solaris Arms]]' massive assault 'Mech definitely lives up to the name of '''''Juggernaut''''' in the [[Solaris Games]].
 
A lumbering mountain of armor and weaponry, [[Solaris Arms]]' massive assault 'Mech definitely lives up to the name of '''''Juggernaut''''' in the [[Solaris Games]].
  
While not a flashy design, Solaris Arms kept up steady production of the design since the early [[3050]]s, the company addressed complaints of the 'Mech's bulky chassis and outboard sensor arrays with a sleeker refreshed model in the mid-[[3060]]s. Sixteen and half tons of [[Standard armor|Valiant Chainmail armor]] protect a [[GM 270]] [[fusion engine]], propelling the 'Mech at fairly standard assault 'Mech speed of 54 km/h. A whopping sixteen [[Double Heat Sink]]s are still not enough to vent the massive volume of waste heat the ''Juggernaut''&#39;s advanced lasers produce, with the 'Mech also carrying four [[Coolant Pod]]s in an desperate attempt to quickly disperse the large amount of heat that it can generate. <ref name="TRO3055U">''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 170</ref>

The modern R9T2 ''Juggernaut'''s main armament is a trio of [[Sutel Precision Line]] [[Large X-Pulse Laser|Large Pulse Lasers with Bethel Labs X-Pulse]], one in each arm with one in its center torso, backed up by three [[Sutel Precision Line]] [[Medium X-Pulse Laser|Medium Pulse Lasers with Bethel Labs X-Pulse]] divided between each arm and the head. Due to the 'Mech's lack of hand [[actuator]]s, at knife-fighting range the ''Juggernaut'' is protected by a staggering twelve [[LFN Lindblad]] [[Machine Gun]]s fed from two tons of reloads. <ref name="TRO3055U"/>

*;JG-R9TX1 ''Juggernaut'' "Leapin' Lil" : The personal 'Mech of [[Richard Fulton|Richard "Fury" Fulton]] started life as an original JG-R9T1 model until a humiliating defeat against a [[hatchet]] armed ''[[Berserker]]'' in [[3066]]. Fulton upgraded his 'Mech to the newer JG-R9T2 standard only for a lucky hit from a ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' on his machine gun's ammo stores to gut his 'Mech, fleeing [[Solaris VII]] after his employer [[Bromley Stables]] collapsed in the aftermath of the [[Word of Blake]]'s invasion. Reappearing on the Game World of [[Noisiel]] where with the aid of a former Bromley tech Fulton had his heavily damaged 'Mech rebuilt anew. Switching to an [[Edasich Motors]] [[light fusion engine]] and replacing the standard armor with sixteen tons of [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] plate frees up space for a pair of [[Mechanical Jump Booster]]s in his 'Mechs completely rebuilt legs. While the arm Large and Medium X-Pulse lasers and the coolant pods were retained, the head-mounted laser was swapped for an [[ER Medium Laser]], the torso laser was swapped for a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] and the machine guns was replaced with four [[M-Pod]]s, equally effective but less destructive to Fulton's 'Mech if struck.
