Blacktron Midnighter (4)

When the Midnighter approached its Futuron quarry, Trubil was relieved to see his Blacktron coconspirators had dispatched a Mechpod to the freighter's coordinates. If the heist got ugly, the pod's Evil Mech would wreak havoc against freighter security teams, and allow Trubil to escape.

 

With Midnighter's propulsion drives set for holding the ship's position, and its sentinel drone deployed as a lookout, Trubil stealthily begins cutting into the freighter with the adamantite rotary hull-saw. (Surely the nearby airlock is alarmed.)

The Blacktron Mechpod was built with the then to-be-designed Midnighter in mind, however there was no room for it, so I spun it off and eventually used Midnighter's available space for the sentinel drone.

 

The Classic Space logos on the freighter prop are from Peter Howkins' Marutan.NET site. I simply used address label paper and a dot matrix printer -- the low quality is my doing, not his.
