Recognition Notes
The HBK-5M is a 3046 rework of the 2572-era Hunchback HBK-4G, a 50-ton juggernaut built to close with an AC/20. It cruises at 43 km/h and tops out near 65, unchanged from the original, with a medium laser in each arm and the AC/20 still seated in the right torso. In the head, a small pulse laser replaces the small laser of the HBK-4G, and CASE now lines the left torso. The heat sinks are double-strength rather than single, thirteen in all, and the type keeps its reinforced battle fists on both arms. KaliYama Weapons Industries builds it at Kalidasa.
