Description
During the Succession Wars the Hatchetman was a very unique 'Mech because, as its name suggests, it carries a 'Mech sized Hatchet. The Hatchetman was designed by Dr. Banzai and is an excellent close combat machine. The Hatchetman has a top speed of 64.8 kph which is enhanced with a jumping capability of up to one hundred and twenty meters. The Hatchetmans heavier than usual weapons payload and Hatchet, combined with its jumping capability, makes the Hatchetman a monster within the confines of a city.
Armament
Aside from its Hatchet, the Hatchetman carries a Defiance Killer Autocannon/10 as its primary ranged weapon which allows the 'Mech to be effective in both stand up fights in front line combat as well as in the concrete jungle of a city. As secondary weapons, the Hatchetman carries two Defiance B3M Medium Lasers.
Variants
- HCT-5S - The 5S is an upgrade of the 3F model. The 5S replaces the fusion engine with an extralight engine. The weapons have also been stripped from the chassis and upgraded. The Autocannon has been replaced with an LB-X Autocannon/10 and the Medium Lasers have been replaced with three Medium Pulse Lasers. Finally, the Hatchetman has been re-armored with eight and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor with CASE to protect itself in the event of an ammunition explosion. BV (1.0) = 826, BV (2.0) = 1,039
- HCT-5D - The Hatchetman 5D is a rugged and deadly variant of the 'Mech. The 5D uses an extralight engine for power and is armed with an Ultra Autocannon/10 as its primary weapon and carries a single ER Medium Laser as a back up weapon. This destructive power is harnessed by adding a targeting computer to allow the 'Mech to use its weapons with deadly accuracy. BV (1.0) = 981, BV (2.0) = 1,012
- HCT-5DD - The 5DD is similar to the 5D, but can move up to 86.4 kph and instead of a Ultra Autocannon/10 it carries a Rotary Autocannon/2 and a ER Medium Laser, both of which are linked to a targeting computer. BV (1.0) = 1,002, BV (2.0) =1,112
- HCT-6D - The 6D Hatchetman is a variant with a decidedly Davion flair. The 'Mech is powered by an extralight engine that propels the 'Mech up to speeds of up to 86.4 kph and can jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. The 'Mech is armed with a Rotary Autocannon/5 as its primary weapon. This is backed up by a trio of ER Medium Lasers and, for protection against electronic warfare systems, it has a Guardian ECM Suite. BV (1.0) = 1,424, BV (2.0) = 1,611
