The underlying technology of the Gremlin was designed during the early years of the [[Insurrection]] as a test bed for non-nuclear [[electromagnetic pulse]] technology, in the hope that it could be used to prevent weapons of mass destruction from being detonated. Though this technology was not new, it had never been functionally harnessed with such a great deal of precision. The resulting [[X23 Non-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon]] was then mounted aboard a transport chassis, forming the basis of the Gremlin. After learning of the [[glassing]] of [[Harvest]], the UNSC repurposed the Gremlin for use against the [[Covenant]]. | The underlying technology of the Gremlin was designed during the early years of the [[Insurrection]] as a test bed for non-nuclear [[electromagnetic pulse]] technology, in the hope that it could be used to prevent weapons of mass destruction from being detonated.

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. | 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.
