	The '''''Hunchback IIC''''' is a [[Clan]]-tech refit of the venerable ''[[Hunchback]]''. Its meager six tons of armor, coupled with paltry ammunition and lack of long-range weapons, led [[Inner Sphere]] observers to conclude that this [['Mech]] was a last-ditch effort for failed warriors to die with glory. In truth, the assignment of a ''Hunchback IIC'' was essentially a death sentence, as warriors given this machine were not expected to survive their next battle. However, despite the attrition rates expected for pilots of this [[BattleMech]], the number of ''Hunchback IIC''s within all Clans has remained more or less constant, a surprisingly high 3% of the entire ''[[touman]]'' of each Clan.<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref name=TRO:3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 168: "Hunchback IIC"</ref>		The '''''Hunchback IIC''''' is a [[Clan]]-tech refit of the venerable ''[[Hunchback]]''.
