Recognition notes
The Hatchetman HCT-3F is a 45-ton brawler that closes to close-in range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a jump range of 120 metres. It carries a medium laser in each arm and an AC/10 in the right torso, and the right arm also mounts a hatchet for melee work. Its fire-control system includes anti-aircraft capability.
