20 mins? wow

Do appreciate the watch, though my tastes are all over the place. :)

Name: HTC-3F Hatchetman
Manufacturer: Defiance Industries (Hesperus II, Lyran Commonwealth)
Mass: 45 tons
Movement: 4/6/4
Armor: 6.5 tons standard
Armament:
1 Hatchet (right arm)
1 Defiance Killer Autocannon/10 (Right torso)
2 Defiance B3M medium lasers (Left/right arm)

;3

Apparently I was very close! Only error was that I moved the second laser to the free arm with the first!

Well, apparently you used your common sense, something the original designers didn't.
The original fluff from the TRO 3025 (3rd Edition) says that the second medium laser, among with two heat sinks, are installed in the hatchet itself! More interesting: the hatchet had no weight and required no additional space that time (the revised version lists the HTC-3F with only 11 heat sinks instead of 14, and the hatchet got it's official weight of 3 tons). Now if you reconsider that you cannot use the weapons on an arm used for a physical attack and that a crit against the hatchet breaks it (among with anything probably installed on it), your assumption was quite a good idea. =D

Finally, a Mech with a physical weapon. I'm sure they are more common than I think they are, but, just going from Mechwarrior 4 Mercs, they are severely lacking in any "hacking."

Looks as great as always, and 20 minutes to boot! Keep it up!

Hatchetman, Axeman, Nightsky...they're out there, but just not really that popular outside of urban combat or in the Solaris tournaments.

Although, I do like the Berserker, Dual Large Pulse Lasers, flame thrower, and a bigass axe on a fast assault chassis with MASC. On your ass before you can say 'can-opener'.

Oh, man, I fear the Berserker.

Yeah...it's an impressive machine, you'd definitely want a Class 20 autocannon in your configuration if you're going against one.

Believe it or not, that's one of those times where I wouldn't mind having a Hunchback IIC on my side!!

Yen-lo-Wang. Or a custom Shadowcat. I find that a Shadowcat with the Gauss rifle swapped out for an LBX-20, and the MASC ditched for an AMS and spare ammo can really put out some hurt.

You gotta do the next TRO man.

If they pay me to. :P

I like axes. I like autocannons. I like the thought of using the jump jets to DFA Hatchet first. If the rules don't give bonus damage for that, fuck 'em.

Necropost!

I guess you play Steiner-Davion?

Big Guns, Big Axes; you play Steiner-Davion right?

I play Mercenary.
