Overview[ | ]

The HBK-4P(C), is the Champion model of the "Swayback" Hunchback, coming equipped with upgraded equipment and a full armament of nine medium lasers.


Strengths[ | ]

A full 9 energy weapon hardpoints allow the HBK-4P to mount the most energy weapons of any available 'Mech. A wide torso twist angle allows the -4P to keep its numerous torso mounted energy weapons on target in a close range fight.

Weaknesses[ | ]

In almost all configurations, heat will be an issue with this 'Mech. Even Double Heat Sinks will struggle to handle the heat buildup of the HBK-4P. Like most Hunchbacks, the loss of the right torso will result in the majority of its weapons being lost. Another weakness it shares with other Hunchbacks is a large head hit box, capable of being hit even from its left side.
