That's probably because RATs from the historical look more like a stub. SLDF used Goblins to carry infantry. Their intro date is unknown, but it's quite safe to assume that they existed at that time.

Goblins are quite handy, especially the variants...

When I saw the title and thought of the SLDF's actions during the Reunification War my first thought was that it was an armoured vehicle designed to deploy chemical agents on the battlefield. Then I took a second look and realised that the name wasn't Toxin, as in poison, after all...

well shit. the goblin wasn't showing up on the MUL search because its intro date is listed as unknown.

regardless, these little guys have acquitted themselves well.
