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.

Description
Many mechs can claim to be indestructible but few actually meet that critera. The Great Turtle though is the definition of unkillable. The GTR-6 is perhaps even more deadly than the original incarnation thanks to its Virtual Reality Piloting Pod boosting the pilot's abilities tremendously in battle. The firepower is simple yet exotic: a pair of Lyran-sourced Bombast Lasers that can be dialed to whatever the pilot needs in the moment. The GTR-6 made quite a splash in its debut match and has gone on to great success in the arenas.

Description
In addition to the basic GTR-1 and GTR-2, VEST made several other Great Turtles for experimentation of various technologies and concepts. Created as a Joint Project with Clan Diamond Shark, this Great Turtle boasts 43 tons of Clan-spec Hardened Armor. A quintet of Plasma Cannons give the mech its nickname, the 'Dragon Turtle', and are incredibly deadly to infantry and vehicles alike. It is equally at home at the arena or on the battlefield, leaving ashes of destruction in its wake.

Description
Even for an arena design, Torrasque stands out as one-of-a-kind. The Great Turtle is already unique and Torrasque takes it to another level. Torrasque retains the Hardened Armor of the base Great Turtle but enhances it with Clan-sourced Harjel in the side torsos. It uses a Clan-grade XL Engine and Double Heat Sinks to manage the heat from three Snub-Nose PPCs, all with PPC Capacitor systems and all tied into an advanced Targeting Computer. A powerful Heat Exchanger and Heat Bank help manage the heat alongside 16 DHS. Truly, Torrasque is every bit the terror of its namesake.

Description
The Great Turtle is famous for its durability, but if the Hardened Armor is removed then it turns out the Turtle is an excellent standard assault chassis, capable of great damage and still maintaining high durability. The GTR-SB is one such example: armed with an HVAC/10 and a trio of advanced Large Lasers, the GTR-SB is a simple and effective design.
