So, got to thinking, if it was REALLY a IIC, and meant specifically for Solahma Warriors to die gloriously in, what are the chances that they would invest the resources to truly re-design the Hunchback for it?

My thought is that it would likely be either 1) a failed idea that fell into relative disuse, or 2) a project done using existing HBK chassis from the Brian Caches throughout the Pentagon worlds, updating and upgrading the Hunchbacks with modern tech, instead of the effort needed to have separate and obsolete tech on hand.

So, I thought version 2 would be more interesting from a fluff perspective, indeed with the HBK's being a relatively simple and easily repaired mech that literally they just wipe the old warrior out of the cockpit, patch it up and send it back out.

That being the case, I decided to do a version using Alex's update to the Hunchy.



Mind you, it is just a quick doodle, pen on paper whilst I watched NCIS, but thought I'd toss it up, since I have no updates currently on my Nova's arms (got an idea, just haven't gotten them to satisfaction yet) and my Summoner re-design is a while from publishing yet.

Thoughts?

well, the MWO UACs are multibarrel, so I figure the UAC20s will be too.

That said, for the FedCom Civil War, my primary character used a HBK-4G with a RAC5. (the son of Bishop Steiner, Tristan Steiner (The HBK was Bishop's original mech, upgraded. Eventually it get's Clan Tech, in 2 ER L laser, Clan XL and 2 more Clan DHS). Bishop's Daughter, Raihne, moved up from a Tbolt to a DireWolf for the War. Bishop, due to age and slowing reflexes, traded his Victor for a King Crab)

in fact this is the mech, complete with my 15 year old sketch, lol
