Webmaster's notes: The Grabro was less Mobile Armor and more submarine, as its "arms" were not particularly useful and usually kept swung back under its frame to make water travel more streamlined. The Grabro was capable of attacking both sea and air targets, and was most likely produced in part to combat the Federation's large Himalaya class ships using its impressive array of torpedo tubes. When surfaced, the Grabro could also combat enemy fighters or larger ships with its surface-to-air missile launchers, though in this role it would be much more exposed.
