CODE HBK-5M Hunchback Tonnage: 50 Estimated Value: 3,643,300 C-Bills Chassis: Crucis Type V Power Plant: Magna 200 Cruising Speed: 43 Maximum Speed: 64.5 Jump Jets: none Jump Capacity: none Armor: Durallex Tensile-4 with CASE Armament: 1 Kali Yama Big Bore Autocannon/20 2 Hellion-V Medium Lasers 1 Sunglow Prism-Optic Small Pulse Laser Manufacturer: Kali Yama Weapons Industries Primary Factory: Kalidasa Communications System: Omicron 4002 Networking Channel Targeting and Tracking System: TRSS Eagle Eye Overview: The Hunchback, known for its devastating firepower at close range, has a problem with heat buildup. The recovery of Star League technology made this an easy problem to solve. With barely a pause in production, Kali Yama Weapons Industries Inc. at Kalidasa started producing Hunchbacks with double heat sinks. The Free Worlds League, seeing the value of the new design, increased its orders to 20 per year. Besides using double heat sinks, the new HBK-5M uses the new Sunglow Prism-Optic Small Pulse Laser instead of the Diverse Optics Type 10 Small Laser. It also envelops the autocannon shells in Cellular Ammunition Storage Equipment to guard against an internal explosion. Unfortunately, these two changes reduce the amount of autocannon ammunition the Hunchback can carry. If this proves to be a problem, Kali Yama could easily keep the double heat sinks but return to the previous weapon-and-ammunition configuration.[HARD RETURN]Marik units that have received the new Hunchback have given it rave reviews. The first MechWarrior who runs out of autocannon ammunition in the middle of battle might be doing a different kind of raving, however.
