Recognition notes
The Hatchetman HCT-5K is a 45-ton brawler that closes to short range behind a Sword mounted in the right arm, backing the blade with a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm and an ER Medium Laser in the left torso. An MRM 30 in the right torso gives it a burst of heavier punch once it is in close. The 180 XL fusion engine carries it to 43 km/h cruising and 65 km/h at full sprint, with a single jump taking it 120 metres. Anti-aircraft fire control is built into the design, and standard armor covers the frame. Independence Weaponry builds it at New Samarkand.
