Saw this again for the first time in years. Fantastic of course. One thing I have learned between now and back then.

Are you aware of what the cylindrical drum is for? It is the Hunchback's external ammunition mount. The Hunchback's height is supposed to be quite minimal and comparable to the Commando ('cept the girth from the high concentration of armor). That said, it was so small and armored that it couldn't fit its ammunition inside the torso. The solution was to mount the ammunition onto a drum on the back of the 'Mech. Specifically on the left torso for most models. For the 4SP it was rear CT, due to the left torso missile launcher and the need to feed 2 launchers.

I thought it was pretty interesting to learn.

Just a thought for the next build of the Hunchback you do, if any. ^_^
