Like the [[SP42 Cobra]], the Gremlin features a six-wheel drive system, with two at the front and the other four toward the rear, which allow the vehicle a considerable degree of speed and maneuverability. The driver sits in the front of the vehicle; instead of having a window to see through, the Gremlin features a one-way screen similar to the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor's]] faceplate. The weaponry is mounted on top of the vehicle, allowing it to target and fire more easily. The XRP12 features no true armament, as it is equipped with only the X23 NNEMP cannon; thus, the Gremlin must be well protected by other forces.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The vehicle is crewed by one driver and five other operators.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | Like the [[SP42 Cobra]], the Gremlin features a six-wheel drive system, with two at the front and the other four toward the rear, which allow the vehicle a considerable degree of speed and maneuverability.

Gremlins were active by at least [[2531]], with the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} stocking several around the time of the [[Harvest campaign]]. They were notably employed by the ''Spirit'' during the [[Battle of Trove]], during which the ship deployed up to four such vehicles to use their EMP weaponry to disrupt several [[Forerunner]] devices on the [[shield world]] from dragging the ''Spirit of Fire'' down into the ground. The Gremlins were successful in delaying the ship's descent, allowing the ''Spirit'' to evacuate friendly forces from the surface.{{Ref/Level|HW|Shield World (level)|Shield World}} | Due to their cost and lack of mobile defence, the Gremlin was rarely used in battle.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=239}} Gremlins were active by at least [[2531]], with the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} stocking several around the time of the [[Harvest campaign]].

By the time of the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' had at least a few Gremlins still operational and had deployed them in the back-lines of their conflict with the [[Banished]] alongside several [[M312 Elephant|Elephant]] recovery vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW2}} | By the time of the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' had at least a few Gremlins still operational and had deployed them in the back-lines of their conflict with the [[Banished]] alongside several [[M312 Elephant|Elephant]] recovery vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW2}} | ||
