[Azure Kit]

A Hunchback HBK-4G with the word "Schwerer" On the gun mount in reflective silver paint, cursive style. A paintjob similar to the "Crusader" paint scheme, black, neon green outline and red. Have the name "Gustav" On the front of the left torso.

I figure if i have to name it something I'd name it after one of history's biggest guns!

I was STRONGLY tempted to ask for a WHM-6K, the machine that made me fall in love with Battletech, but then I realized that the mech fairy never said anything about paying the bills. So I decided instead on the equally venerable Shadow Hawk-2K. Standard tech and an ammo independent primary weapon are a blessing when your the one paying the bills, to say nothing of how helpful hands are in handling day-to-day tasks. I'd have my share of creature comforts, perhaps some sufficiently hardy media storage device for bedtime movies/music/books or a padded case of hobby related trinkets, but noting too extravagant or distracting. I could probably count on the factory standard life support systems to keep me comfy given how many mechs are made with long term deployments in mind. How liveable the mech is here is actually is a fairly important factor given how the mech fairy doesn't also get me a unit assignment or paying contract (gotta be careful with wish granting entities man). Should I ever have the luxury of making significant alterations to the -2K's configuration I would replace the LRM-5 and two heatsinks with an SRM-6 and another pair of jump jets. Bam. Now I have a fair close range weapon to augment my robot kung-fu action (remember those hands?) while still being able to stay reasonably cool while PPC hopping the day away.

I think I'd grab a thunderbolt 7se, even stock would be a decent unit (gauss, 4mpl, jj, ecm) though I could survive losing the ecm if I had to. I'd just slap on an ams unit as a low-er tech backup.
