Recognition notes
The Hatchetman HCT-7R is a 45-ton brawler that cruises at 54 km/h and tops out near 86 km/h, with a 150-metre jump capability for closing distance. Its right arm is packed with a Medium X-Pulse Laser alongside six Medium Lasers, giving it a heavy short-range punch from a single limb, and an actuator enhancement system in that arm refines its aim. The left arm carries a hatchet backed by its own actuator enhancement system, keeping the machine's melee bite intact alongside its laser battery. Ferro-fibrous armor and an anti-aircraft fire control system round out the package, and Johnston Industries builds the type at its Addicks plant.
