Designer Notes
The Behemoth Gear transport was designed in TN 1706 by Northco when it became obvious that Gears could be used for more than simple sentinel duty. The first version, nicknamed "Big Guy," was a variant of the Hunchback transport, which was used by regional technicians to transport their Prairie Dogs when they were called away to perform heavy repairs in homesteads. The technical lab and crew quarters were removed and replaced by more vehicle bays. The transmission was reinforced as well, allowing the vehicle to increase its performance and durability. The less efficient engine of the Hunchback was replaced by a smaller and more powerful PPN-S24 diesel engine capable of generating over 1000hp. Its armor was also 50% thicker than that of the Hunchback, ensuring solid protection for the Gears in the vehicle bay. An early prototype also had a hitch and a stronger engine to attach an equipment trailer to the back of the carrier, but it was abandoned because it reduced the maneuverability and speed of the Behemoth below the design specifications.
