| Designer Notes |
| The TN 1880s were a period of impressive achievements for Territorial Arms. Long thought of as maintaining their dominance of the Gear market through sheer political might TA finally proved that it had the design skills to match its size and power. The release of the Iguana in TN 1879 and the Spitting Cobra a few cycles later secured the industrial giant a place of prominence in the scout and fire support Gear markets, areas where it had floundered in the past. TA's next step was to consolidate its hold on the general purpose market and a new soldier model was called for. In TN 1887, TA signed an agreement with Dynamic Systems to design a new model; the engineers resurrected the vernable Rattlesnake and its flaws, which had been nealry insoluable a hundred cycles before, were corrected. By the end of the design process, the new Gear bore only a passing resemblance to its forefather, but they shared many internal design concepts. |
