Description
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. Warriors given this machine were not expected to survive their next battle.
After the actions of a star of Smoke Jaguar Warden MechWarriors, however, this 'Mech has become popular with Clan Jade Falcon sibbies during their first Trial of Position as it often allows them one quick kill, though the practice is often derided by older Clanners. Perhaps the only bright spot in this design is the inclusion of jump jets that allow it to more easily traverse difficult terrain so that it can bring its mammoth guns into play.
Armament
The Hunchback IIC is armed with a pair of Devastator Ultra AC/20s, one of the most powerful weapons in the Clan arsenal. This is backed up by a mere pair of Series 7J ER Medium Lasers. Completely eschewing long-range weapons and armor, the Hunchback IIC can scarcely expect to stand up in a pitched battle. Instead, it is designed for the one-on-one dueling that is so popular within the Clans.
Variants
- Hunchback IIC 2 - This Crusader variant utilizes four Heavy Large Lasers that can quickly cause a debilitating heat-induced shutdown. As secondary weapons the variants include 2 medium pulse Laser. The 19 double heat sinks can't handle the heat build up not long. BV (2.0) = 1,869[2]
- Hunchback IIC 3 - The Warden variant makes use of three ATM 12s with four tons of ammunition and keep the ER medium lasers of the original vairant. BV (2.0) = 1,951[3]
- Hunchback IIC 4 - This variant carries a pair of experimental Clan-made Rotary AC/5s each with 2 tons of ammo, an ECM Suite, and additional armor in place of the standard Ultra AC/20's.[4] BV (2.0) = 2,097[5]
