Thug THG-11ECX (Jose)

The Thug THG-11ECX is an 80-ton brawler that closes to short range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out at 65, with a single jump carrying it 120 metres — a capability the 11E did not have. In place of the paired PPCs, each arm now carries an ER Large Laser, and where the 11E fielded one SRM 6 per torso, this configuration packs two in the left torso and three in the right. A 320 XL fusion engine and standard internal structure replace the 11E's 320 fusion engine and endo steel frame, and the heat-sink count falls from 18 to 14 double sinks. A null-signature system spans both arms, the side torsos, the center torso, and both legs, occupying the space where the 11E mounted CASE in each torso. A rugged, field-serviceable frame marks the design, which is listed as obsolete by 2776. Earthwerks-FWL, Inc. builds it at Keystone, with Maltex Corporation producing it at Errai.
