Despite this, a troubled development cycle marred by persistent technical issues and heavy opposition from many members of the LCAF's senior generals for such a medium-weight design would delay the introduction of the Gauntlet to 3128, almost thirty years after the Archon's initial proposal. The genesis of the Gauntlet stems from both Archon Adam Steiner's proposal for development of a medium OmniMech intended to honor the Lyran spirit and Coventry Metal Works' purchase of the plans for the Bushwacker in the wake of the Jihad. It was designed as a swift cavalry unit capable of keeping up with lighter 'Mechs while also being able to bring the flexibility and firepower of a medium 'Mech. Its name alluding to the insignia of the Lyran Commonwealth, the Gauntlet is a medium-class OmniMech that was manufactured for the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.
