Hunchback IIC, Clan Wolf, Omicron Galaxy

We all know that there are a bunch of ways to improve the Hunchback IIC, not the least of which is to add armor to the thing. But, we all secretly desire to see a Hunchback IIC use both of its Ultra Autocannon 20's to hit with four shots at one time. Who doesn't want to see 80 points of damage land? Well, presuming you're not the target. I've seen it happen once during a Grand Melee. Of course, the Hunchback IIC didn't last long, but it did make an impression.

Now, meeting this 'mech in a dark alley in a city fight could really be nasty. There are a bunch of 'mechs described in the fluff text to be "city fighters", but I'm not really convinced that these 'mechs would be any better than more generalist designs, though long range fire support 'mechs would have a tough go of it. Perhaps there's a scenario in there: the true city fighters versus others.

In any case, this Hunchback IIC 'mech was partially completed, so I decided to finish it. Dressed up the base some, though the excessive gray might be a bit much. Put some gold highlights in a couple of places. Painted it a metallic silver, which I dulled down using a dark gray/silver mix for the middle of panels, while using a white sparingly for highlights on edges. A couple of Clan Wolf decals, and here you go.
