Overview
Developed by Clan Smoke Jaguar, the Hunchback IIC was not originally intended for those warriors attempting to turn their failing careers around, or to make a quick name in battle, as was believed by Inner Sphere observers. Instead, in an exceptionally unusual turn of events considering the Clan's waste-notwant- not mentality, it was deliberately produced for
warriors who had fallen into such disfavor that their next battle would be intended as their last. With absolutely no effort put to survivability, all the resources went into allowing the pilot to die with a semblance of dignity by killing at least one opposing machine before falling in battle. The assignment of a Hunchback IIC was to be a death sentence.
However, its image changed when a Star equipped with the BattleMechs in 3015 fought a Trial of Possession for a group of recently manufactured BattleMechs against a vastly larger force of Jade Falcons on Circe. Since then, many Clan MechWarriors have begun to look upon the secondline design with some respect.
