Description This is the Federated Commonwealth's shot at a Commando, something Eriance did very well and which David Razi Dryburgh used as the model for this piece.

Run, little Commando, run!

Ooooh, I LIKE this rendition!
A lot of Commando looks just skate on the far side of looking good to my eye.

Okay, I really, really, feel weird about saying this...but...
That Commando looks awesome.
I've never really liked the old Commando for some reason, but this is a nice pic. You really put your commission money in some good place Cent13.

Glad you think so. Eriance is quite good at what he does and gets better all the time. Some may argue that adding more anime to a BattleTech design is a bad thing, but Eric was spot-on with this one. It retains the styling cues but is a bit sexier than the original. The actual design itself is also pretty good; haven't had a chance to playtest it, but it looks very good on paper if you can just keep from trying to take on a Catapult...

It seems to have done well against the Zeus though...

Yeah, well, I think that was his buddy. I would run away from the Catapult too, if they'd scrapped my Big Friend.

Reminds me of the MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries opening cinematic. The same commando getting belted by not only a Catapult but also an Atlas.

That arm laying on the ground certainly looks familiar.

.... O God. It's a Zeus's. It IS inspired by the cinematic!

Only you geeks would pick up on that. I lack the gaming background, having gotten into the hobby only in late 2002.

Mechwarrior was one of the first games I played; it's what got me into battletech.

I got into the video games BEFORE I got into the actual tabletop game.
