RELICTUM OMNINO SPECULA, "Abandon All Hope", is our motto. If you face the " Reapers" in battle you should indeed abandon all hope. The 409th Mech does indeed bring death. They have logged more than 350 victories and have years of experience in finding the weakness of an enemy and using it to their advantage. If you are so unfortunate to meet them with their fellow GRIMM brothers you will know no mercy, for as a team they have special battle skills that are exploited to the fullest. The Reapers commander, nicknamed "The Rook", is a veteran from the Clone Wars has been in many campaigns dating back 23 years. He fought in the Halls of Law and Corridors of Chaos, a nobler time when weapons of mass destruction were rare and personal skills were the primary requirement. He was a major force in winning the Robot Wars. Although older than the other Clan GRIMM members, he has not lost his touch at dealing out death. In battle he is cold and calculating, his demeanor makes him appear a Grim Reaper to those that earn his ire. Hence the Grim Reaper on the units patch.
