−	The Achernar designers' solution for the high heat generated by the ''BattleAxe''&#39;s [[PPC]]s was to replace them with a pair of [[Mydron Model B]] [[Autocannon/10]]s backed up by [[ChisComp 38]] [[medium laser]]s in each arm, while retaining the earlier design's shoulder-mounted [[Harpoon-6]] [[SRM-6]].

Little more than a heavier and slower version of the ''BattleAxe'', the design received its name based on the impressive weapons carried in each arm, serving to trigger the Federated Suns' seeming love affair with [[autocannon]]s. Much like its sibling design, the ''Hammerhands'' went on to influence and be outdone by the immensely popular ''[[Warhammer]]'', causing it to fade into history, all but forgotten.<ref name=TRO3075-226-227/> During the [[Jihad]], both Achernar BattleMechs and the New Hessen MechWorks production plant started producing ''Hammerhands'' for the [[AFFS]].
