Griffin

"Equipped with a jump drive that allows the robot to jump and close on enemies when needed"

Introduction
The Griffin is a Heavy Robot with 2 medium and 2 light hardpoints, one of the most recognizable robots in the game, and has a cockpit that looks like a plane's nose.

Alongside the Cossack and Rogatka, the Griffin is one of the few robots that can jump. Although physically larger, it can jump higher and farther than the Cossack and the Rogatka, but at the cost of a 25 second cool down timer. (Spending 6 seconds in the air, a 19 second interval from the last jump.)

At base Level 6, the Griffin stands at 110,000 health points and costs 1,700,000 silver. The Griffin can travel at 32 km/h and, with the ability to jump, makes it quick and agile for a robot of this size and power. It boasts two medium hard points and two light hard points. This robot is oriented around a sturdy assault strategy, as the medium-light hard points allow for a player to stack several rocket launchers or guns onto the same robot. For example, two Molots with two twin Molot Mk2s add up to six separate guns on one robot.

In battle, it is common to see several Griffins at once with Pin/Tulumbas, Magnum/Taran, or Pinata/Orkan.

Trivia

 * Its cockpit strongly resembles British bomber Handley Page Victor’s nose, body and engine.
 * If you look very closely the griffin has 4 tiny spikes on each foot, 2 on each ‘toe’.
 * It is named after the Griffin, a mythical bird that had the head, wings and front legs of an Eagle and the rear torso, leg and tail of a Lion. This is likely due to its ability to “swoop” down on it’s enemies with its jump ability.
 * Griffin was named “the most popular robots” by Pixonic, according to their statistics, along with Magnum being the most popular weapon. It is not known if these two events are related due to Griffin being able to mount Magnums.
