Boxman (BXN-2D) 30-ton Succession Wars style ‘Mech

[Northkin]

I needed to give a character in my Dark Age fanfic a new 30-ton ‘Mech and after reviewing a few, I decided to build my own.  In keeping with the theme that his garrison is a low-priority post, it is built using Succession Wars style tech.

The inspiration for this ‘Mech comes from that a boxman is the person in an American football game who stands on the sideline holding the down indicator.

I would use this. I like that it includes a flamer. Flamers are love.

[Sabelkatten]

Nice design, if not terribly original. :)

Looks very much like a Javelin variant. Take the standard Fire Javelin, replace two of the lasers with the SRM and add the Flamer.

LOL - Given the looonng history of Battletech, what ISN'T a variant of something else in one way or another?  ;)
