A BattleMech named the Pillager used as the basis for the canon Pillager PLG-1N.
Designed by Jack Freeman, this was the first BattleMech with dual AC/20's, the Pillager PLG-1N. The profile differs slightly from the canon version but has identical movement, jump jet capability, heat dissipation and nearly identical weaponry. A variant called the Matchmaker MTM-4B featuring Flamers is also presented.
I fell in love with these very early designs from the magazines and this is my attempt to bring that to life as close as possible to the original art. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past.
