Designer Notes
The Bricklayer is a specialist engineering unit derived from the Hunter military walker. It was first introduced in TN 1738 to gradually replace the older Prairie Dog and Groundhog civilian work Gear still being used by the Northern military. Although more expensive than its predecessors, the Bricklayer is a much more efficient machine with greatly improved electronics and actuator systems. Since most of the basic structure and electronic package has been derived from the popular and versatile Hunter, spare parts are plentiful. The Bricklayer did undergo some visually obvious changes, however. The engineering vehicle has no canopy or head assembly, and features a reduced sensor system (about half the signal processors and databuses have been removed, compared to the Hunter's system). These costly subsystems were removed because of the Bricklayer's support role, which does not require combat ready sensors. The pilot sits slightly higher than in the Hunter, but is protected by a sturdy steel roll cage. The reduced sensor array is mounted direclty in front of the Gear torso, just under the cockpit, and is protected by two small crash bars.
