Recognition notes
The PLG-3Z is a 100-ton juggernaut, a 2594 rework of the 2575 PLG-1N original. Where the PLG-1N carries an AC/20 in each of the left and right torso, this variant fields a Gauss rifle in each of those same locations, and the right arm's medium laser gives way to a large laser. The center torso's SRM 4 is replaced by a medium laser, while the left arm keeps its medium laser and the head still carries one as well. A lighter 300 XL fusion engine replaces the standard 300 fusion engine, jump range rises from 60 to 90 metres, and the heat-sink count drops from 16 single to 14 double sinks. Cruising speed holds at 32 km/h with a top speed of 54 km/h, slow for its weight, and both arms carry the reinforced battle fists seen on the original. HildCo Interplanetary builds it at St. Ives, with production also carried out by General Motors.
