B-With the stated emphasis on urban combat environments/using cover in combat and what we know about the pilot/mech skill trees it would be one of the worst mistakes they could make to not include this! Imagine having to turn every corner knowing there could be a hatchet blade the size of a smartcar waiting to crash through your canopy!
C- I never actually played TT, so what is that axe actually capable of? Can it smash in a cockpit potentially? Take limbs clean off? Is the arm capable of full articulation, like can it swing sideways and stuff? I normally really dislike more articulate/humanoid mech designs but i remember seeing the cartoon a few times when I was a kid and just being smitten by this guy.
Crazy, I thought this thread disappeared. Guess I better get to making variants after all then! But yes to A, I painted the Axman (over FD's backdrop) and agreed with B, the 2N having the LRMs was also capable of some support roles as well but the 1N is more like a hunchy with a club. As for C, as pointed out the hatchet even at that size wasn't likely to chop limbs off, but the damage was enough to crush a mech's head in one hit. Nice if you like to bring back salvage that someone else gets to clean up!

Any chance a modeler wants to try and make a low poly model of this Axman ?
I want to try and make a paper model of this
Fun fact I actually had part of a model for this (earlier version of) at one point...not sure where it went off to, but it wasn't by any means finished anyway.
