 ===Variant A - ''"Tunnel Rat"''===
 The "Tunnel Rat" is a variant of the Goblin that requires both it's weapons to be used in tandem to be effective. The synergy allows the Tunnel Rat to decrease the accuracy of incoming fire through the screen shake caused by the [[TBolt5]] launchers, while using [[MPL]] to damage specific parts of an asset.  Against an asset that requires highly accurate shots to be effective, such as [[Gauss]] or [[PPC]], this variant can heavily disrupt the effectiveness of said asset. Screen shake is not as detrimental to every asset, and if going against an asset requiring less accuracy, the effectiveness of the Tunnel Rat will decline. Focus on units sniping from the back of a battle to make the best use of it's weapons.

 ===Variant E - ''"Sandbag"''===
-"'''''Sandbag'''''" is not supposed to be used in brawls. The [[flamer]] pair will be efficient only at point blank, while the [[RAC5]] simply can't dish out significant amounts of damage in the time bracket of an typical brawl fight. However, should this unit be used as a second liner or fire support, it's two [[MRM10]] launchers will more than make up with both lots of damage and good cadence of re-fire. Only Two [[Free tons|Extra ton of Ammo]], so choose wisely. A unit good suited for late joiners.
+Functioning best at [[Gameplay_Tactics#Tanking|tanking]] or as a [[support]] asset, the "'''''Sandbag'''''" has a very tight optimal range between 60m and 150m. Farther out, and the [[flamers]] are useless, too close and its two [[MRM10]]s are useless. Thankfully the Sandbag has more armor than any other Goblin and every one of its weapons, including its [[RAC5]], [[PDS]], and [[Infantry Bay]], make it one of the most versatile anti-[[BA]] assets. The Sandbags [[free tons]] of ammo should be dedicated to its RAC5.

It's 45 ton provide for quite a punch for the few brawl variants, although it's utility shines the most as fire support asset. Should his Armor come to bear it won't trade for much time - especially if the driver is too occupied with laying suppression fire and neglecting damage sharing over more armor sections. It is one of the first units to feature the new [[PDS\|Point Defense System]] (PDS) that actively suppresses nearby enemy [[BA\|Battle Armor]]. Every Goblin has a [[infantry bay]] that serves as a spawn point and buy zone for Battle Armor. The Goblin can carry up to one Battle Armor passenger in addition to the driver. The driver, however, cannot hold any BA weapons, but can exit the vehicle and purchase weapons if needed. In the map menu, the Goblin appears as a small blue hexagon spawn point instead of an arrow.	+	The '''Goblin''' is an [[Inner Sphere]] light tank added for the 10.0 release.

+The spare ton of ammo will most certainly belong to the hungry [[UAC10]], while quite potent, it is prone to jam just when you seem to need it the most. The single [[MXPL]] will never fail you, but they is just too feeble to bear when the '''UAC10''' goes silent. If your opponent is closer than the ''prescribed'' 60 meters, the [[MRM10]] missles will fail to explode. This unit is a exemplary fire support tank - proper use will both yield damage and net income to the operator, the single pulse laser is to be viewed as a backup weapon of last resort, or to tip an already full scale - nothing more than that, same applies to the [[PDS]]. Try at all times to position your self outside of their range and you will do just well.

The two trusty [[SPL]] will never fail you, but they are just too feeble to bear when the '''UAC10''' goes silent. If your opponent is closer than the ''prescribed'' 25 meter, the [[MRM10]] will still hurt it somewhat, but failing to explode, the missiles won't do much of [[MRM]] insane damage levels. We recommend loud cursing in moments like that instead - it pays out more. Luckily your [[GECM]] will have you ''out of scope'' 200 meter sooner than comparable assets who lack this benefit.<br>
