HBK-4Mx Hunchback History: Built as a collaboration between Komiyaba and the prominent fusion engine manufacturer, Nissan General Industries, the Hunchback was manufactured not for the Star League, but for sale directly to the Great Houses as well as any Periphery power with enough money to buy them. Consequently, the Hunchback was never fitted with advanced technology and the Star League was never interested enough in the design to commission an upgraded version. This turned out to be its saving grace, as production of the Hunchback continued uninterrupted even after the fall of the Star League and the subsequent loss of its advanced military secrets. When the Komiyaba assembly planet was destroyed during the ongoing Succession Wars, Kali Yama Weapons quickly bought the rights to the design and began producing it out of their factory on Kalidasa. Traditionally a part of the Free Worlds League, Kalidasa is currently occupied by forces from the Lyran Commonwealth. Unleashed in 2572, the 50-ton HBK-4G Hunchback is infamous for its massive Tomodzuru Class-20 autocannon. One of the largest weapons ever built, the Tomodzuru by itself weighs 14 tons and takes up almost the entire right torso. So much space, in fact, that the ammunition for the huge cannon had be located on the opposite side of its chest. Backed up by a pair of Ichiba 2000 mediums lasers and a Diverse Optics Type 10 light laser, the Hunchback is strictly a close range fighter. Considered one of the deadliest urban combat ‘Mechs, the narrow streets and limited range of city fighting suit its armament perfectly. By itself, the Class-20 autocannon can cripple or even destroy another light or medium ‘Mech with a single shot. Thickly armored with 10 tons of Starshield, the same amount carried by the vaunted 70-ton Warhammer, the Hunchback has also proven itself incredibly durable. Its thirteen heat sinks also allow it to effectively dissipate the heat from its immense shoulder mounted autocannon while also allowing for the simultaneous use of its twin medium lasers. The Hunchback is also equipped with a pair of powerful battle fists for physical attacks. The Hunchback’s shortcomings are as well-known as its devastating autocannon. Powered by a Nissan 200 fusion engine, it tops out at just 64.8, making it one of the slowest medium class BattleMech ever built. If the Hunchback is caught out in the open, enemy ‘Mechs with long range capability can often disable it before it can bring its deadly autocannon into play. For this reason, the Hunchback is often deployed alongside fire support ‘Mechs that can effectively cover its advance, or assigned to the second wave of an attack. It is also commonly deployed as a bodyguard ‘Mechs for commanders, forcing an enemy ‘MechWarrior who wishes to close to face the Hunchback’s devastating autocannon first. When Kali Yama Weapons took over production of the ‘Mech, they changed a number of components used by the design. While functionally equivalent, the Kali Yama version of the -4G is built on a Crucis V chassis, and uses their own Kali Yama Big Bore Class 20 autocannon. The medium lasers are Hellion-V models, and the cockpit electronics have also been swapped out, leaving only the Diverse Optics Type 10 unchanged from the original specifications. In 2819, the first of two variants appeared. The HBK-4H exchanges some of the autocannons raw power for increased range. Using a Kali Yama Class 10 instead of the Class 20, the -4H has an almost 70% increase in range when compared to the -4G. Two additional medium lasers have also been added to the -4H, making its total damage potential equal to that of the original. The HBK-4J, build in 2856, is such a radical departure from the original, it is often referred to as a Swayback. Dropping the enormous autocannon entirely, the -4J actually looks significantly different from either the -4G or the -4H. Carrying two LRM-10s in the right torso instead of the autocannon and adding three additional medium lasers also to the right torso, it is both an effective medium fire-support ‘Mech as well as a dangerous close range fighter. The -4J is often assigned to protect fire support lances Notable ‘Mech and MechWarriors: Thomas “The Dragon” Lagemann Currently the Class Five reigning champion on the game world of Solaris VII, Thomas “The Dragon” Lagemann’s modified Hunchback is a legendary arena fighter. Retaining the original Tomodzuru autocannon, his Hunchback, named after his beautiful Kuritan wife, Nadja, is a technological marvel. Capable of jaw-dropping bursts of speeds of up to 108 kph, Lagemann is known for quickly closing with his opponent and reducing them to scrap within seconds using his ‘Mech’s lethal autocannon. Speculation is rampant as to how he accomplishes such blinding speeds with a ‘Mech known for its slow plodding nature. The most credible theories center around a heavily modified Nissan 200 fusion engine. While the use of a supercharger is certainly likely, a supercharger alone cannot explain the incredible acceleration of his ‘Mech. The only other likely source for this speed would be a lostech Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry system. However, MASC was only available to the Star League and the secrets of its production were thought to have been lost with the fall of the Terran Hegemony. Furthermore, the only known BattleMech to carry the system was the 20-ton MCY-99 Mercury. While the Eridani Light Horse was known to possess a company of them, they were all reported lost during fighting on Sendai in 2798. If Lagemann has indeed found a way to salvage and adapt and MASC system and to combine it with a supercharger, it could explain his ‘Mechs terrifying speed. However, both systems are known to be inherently unstable, so it remains to be seen how long “Nadja” can last before suffering an immobilizing failure.
