Hunchback

The Hunchback is the quintessential street brawler. Its weapons are ideally suited to knife range fighting common in urban combat and few models carry weapons that reach farther than medium range. The Hunchback line of 'Mechs is well rounded, with models that specialize in missile, energy, and ballistic weapons.

Unfortunately, since Gauss Rifles explode like ammo, the XL engine tends to be more of a downside. Like all Hero 'Mechs, the HBK-GI provides a 30%   C-Bill bonus. Read this 'Mech's full page here
