Recognition notes
The HBK-4P is a 2937 rebuild of the 2572 Hunchback, trading the right torso's AC/20 for a bank of six medium lasers in that same location. Paired with the medium lasers already carried in the left arm and right arm, and the small laser in the head, this 50-ton juggernaut now fights entirely at close range on eight energy weapons instead of one heavy cannon. The heat-sink count rises from 13 to 23 single sinks to cope with the laser volley, while cruising speed holds at 43 km/h and top speed at 65. Both arms still carry reinforced battle fists. KaliYama Weapons Industries builds it at Kalidasa.
