Designer Notes
The Hunter Gear is the first exclusively military walker machine on Terra Nova. The father of all the subsequent designs of the North, the "old man" of the real world remains among the most commonly seen Gear designs in active military service. In its 250 cycles of service the Hunter chassis has been refitted several times to keep it competitive with more recent designs, but its greatest strength has always been its versatility and simplicity of design. Created when there were no scout/recon or fire support Gears, the Hunter had to manage all by itself or in conjunction with more traditional armored or infantry forces. Although a great challenge to create, the Hunter was designed to be relatively easy to maintain and upgrade, allowing it to remain in service for decades without being refit. The simplicity of design has also meant a proliferation of specialized variants designed to excel at specific combat tasks. The standard Hunter (actually the Mark II, introduced in TN 1852) remain in wide usage, however, even in the face of more advanced machines.
