Description
Many mechs can claim to be indestructible but few actually meet that critera. The Great Turtle though is the definition of unkillable. Equipped with an incredible amount of Hardened Armor as well as a torso cockpit (complete with targeting computer) and a compact gyro, the Great Turtle is a brutal arena fight since few things can withstand its attacks while also wearing down its defenses. While the firepower is paltry (only a Large X-Pulse Laser and three Medium X-Pulse Lasers) the Turtle is about endurance and has a proven record in the arenas.

Description
While the GTR-1 was a qualified success, VEST decided to experiment even further with pilot survivability. By removing the Hardened Armor, they could use special hardened components on the hip actuators, the torso cockpit, and several of the weapons to ensure optimal functionality in any situation. The unique Hardened ER PPC with an in-built PPC Capacitor proved dangerous and effective while the similarly-hardened Medium X-Pulse Lasers are equally effective. A lone ER Medium Laser plays second-fiddle to the other weapons. The GTR-2 proved its worth during several arena tests and is being considered for full production.

Description
In addition to the basic GTR-1 and GTR-2, VEST made several other Great Turtles for experimentation of various technologies and concepts. One of them is the GTR-3, designed around an Experimental Assault Gauss Rifle meant for breaking fortifications and put to work for the arenas instead. To mount the weapon, the Hardened Armor had to be removed from the GTR-1, giving the Turtle only a standard assault mech's worth of armor. An ER PPC and ER Large Laser provide backup for the rifle while 3 jump jets keep the mech at least somewhat mobile.

Description
In addition to the basic GTR-1 and GTR-2, VEST made several other Great Turtles for experimentation of various technologies and concepts. One of them is the GTR-4, which experimented with missile weaponry on the Turtle's chassis. Coated in 41 tons of Hardened Armor, the -4 remains indestructible. A pair of Thunderbolt-10s provide primary firepower while a trio of exotic Rotary ER Medium Lasers cover closer ranges. A Supercharger helps make up for the removal of the jump jets while three tons of ammo provides acceptable arena endurance.

Description
In addition to the basic GTR-1 and GTR-2, VEST made several other Great Turtles for experimentation of various technologies and concepts. One of them is the GTR-5, which attempts to mate the hardened chassis with ballistic weaponry, to poor results. Due to the weight of the Hardened Armor (41 tons worth) the only ballistic weapons that would fit were a pair of Light Autocannon/5s. A trio of ER Medium Lasers, Clantech at that, back up the ACs. Given the fairly anemic firepower and the issues with carrying explosive ammunition, the GTR-5 was regarded as a failure and was considered a waste by VEST's engineers.
