Overview:
Designed in 2572 as a competitor to the popular Warhammer BattleMech, the eighty-ton Thug has beefed-up armor protection and a more advanced target acquisition system than its predecessor. The Thug also avoids some of the Warhammer's heat problems by removing secondary energy weapons rather than adding heat sinks. Secondary weapons include two Bical-6 short-range missile launchers, one each in the 'Mech's right and left torsos, freeing the Thug's arms for hand-to-hand combat. The Thug is equipped with CASE, safeguarding the MechWarrior from missile-load explosions.

Known Variants - 11V:
The 11V is a rebuild of the 11E. The troublesome Tiegart PPCs were replaced by XXXXXXX extended-range PPCs, while the secondary weaponry was updated. Instead of the twin torso mounted short-range missiles, four anti-missile systems and for medium lasers were added. A Tag and Guardian ECM completed the rebuild. Two double heatsinks had to be removed, forcing a small decrease in effective medium range fire power.
