Designer Notes
During the War of the Alliance there were many opportunities for a clearing action Gear to excel; stubborn pockets of resistance that could not be easily reduced without high losses and wasted time. The success of the Southern Flammjager became the basis for a similar Gear for use by the North. The end of the war saw only the deployment of field conversions of the Hunter and other Gears in anti-personnel duties, but TN 1919 saw the release of the Magma Jaguar. Designed to limit friendly losses and eliminate resistance quickly, the Magma was a deadly flame-based weapons platform designed to outperform its Southern counterparts. The decision to use the Jaguar chassis, a stury well armored and maneuverable Gear, was made by Northco as part of their medium term plan to make the commando Gear into the basic model of the Northern military complex. The weaponry of the Magma is centered around the Westfellow Lavaflow-12 flame cannon, supplemented by a RP-101 Chilibox incendiary rocket pod. The Magma Jaguar has been covered with a heat-resistant coating and its articulations are all covered with special flame-resistant polymer cloth. To prevent pilot injury from super-heated air or smoke inhalation, the cockpit is equipped with a self-contained breathing apparatus as well as additional armor.
