Recognition notes
The Hatchetman HCT-5DT is a 45-ton brawler built to close the distance and fight with its fists. It carries an ER Medium Laser and an ER Small Laser in each of the right arm, left torso, right torso, and center torso locations, and a Snub-Nose PPC sits in the right torso alongside its lasers there. A Hatchet is mounted in the right arm for melee work. The 180 XL fusion engine drives it to a cruising speed of 43 km/h and a top speed of 65, with Triple-Strength Myomer pushing its cruising speed to 65 km/h once combat heat builds; a single jump jet arrangement carries it 120 metres. Ten double heat sinks manage the ER laser array, and standard armor covers the frame. Johnston Industries refits the design at its New Syrtis facility.
