Designer Notes
Developed by the Elementech subsidiary of Northco in TN 1750, the Demolisher is a dedicated demolitions Gear aimed specifically at the military model. Northern units taking over neutral or enemy territory often need to take down fortifications quickly and efficiently, while others may need to destroy bridges and other communications links. The Demolisher is designed to undertake these tasks efficiently and under fire if necessary. The major modification of the Demolisher as compared to the Bricklayer -- the other Hunter-derived combat engineering model -- is the elimination of the central crane unit and the addition of large underslung Riley DE40 demolition gun. Fifty demolition charges are stored in the chassis of the Demolisher. The massive weight and recoil of the DE40 requires that the Demolisher brace itself before firing and its feet feature cleats for this purpose. The weight of the demolition gun also reduces the Demolisher's speed by 33% as compared to the Bricklayer. A Forge Weapon Co. VDS-30 variable-diameter spike gun has been added for punching holes to facility demolition charge placement. To ensure the security of the pilot deployed in a combat situation, the canopy has been seated, although the forward mounted sensor array of the Bricklayer has been maintained, their weight of the canopy and DE40 make the Gear somewhat fuel-inefficient, so it is usually transported upon Gear carriers to its area of operation.
