'''Gray Death Strike''' [[battle armor]] is a production version of the prototype. The [[Jihad]] stopped production at the [[Gray Death Technologies]] plants, and then [[Defiance Industries]] took over production. Defiance then moved production of the battle armor to [[Furillo]], which slowed production even more. After the Gray Death Technology plant was destroyed in [[3074]], it would be six years before Defiance produced a new Gray Death Strike suit.<ref name=trop12/>

*; Prototype : This original version of the Strike suit was unique for being a hybrid of Inner Sphere and Clan technology.  Built under the supervision of technician Brian Kinnison, this suit removed the improved sensors and modular weapon mount of the [[Gray Death Standard]] battlesuit. In their place are a [[Clan]]-spec [[Detachable Missile Pack|detachable]] [[Advanced SRM 3|Advanced SRM-3]] launcher with three shots mounted on the suit's body and a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]] system in the left arm that can spot for artillery units or units carrying [[Semi-Guided LRM]].  Both arms ended in Battle Claws and the AP weapon mount was retained as were its movement capabilities and armor, although the missile launcher had to be jettisoned before anti-'Mech attacks could be made.  The reliance on Clan technology prevented the suit from reaching mass production, as not even [[Clan Diamond Shark]] was willing to sell enough components to justify such a move.  Although Defiance Industries eventually went with a redesigned production model using Inner Sphere technology, it was rumored they kept these prototype suits for their own security forces.

*; HarJel : This [[Dark Age era]] variant of Gray Death Strike armor uses the same armor and equipment as the standard Gray Death Strike armor, but is also equipped with [[HarJel]] to protect the user. A [[Firedrake Needler]] is also present for anti-[[infantry]] work. BV (2.0) = 55<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 19</ref>
