Designer Notes
The "Full Armor" Hunter, also known as "the armored can," is one of the rarest Hunter variants of all. The FU program was an attempt to create a new type of Hunter that would be able to survive anything short of the firepower of a tank. Although the resulting armored shell was fairly impervious to Gear-class weaponry, the machine proved to be about as agile as the average herding springer. Its poor performance was a reflection of the extreme weight of its armor. The torso and lower legs were covered with plating that almost doubled in thickness, compared to the old Hunter plates. Both shoulders and generator housing received armored covers, and the skirts were elongated and thickenend. A cast metal "helmet" was fitted on the head. The resulting machine was well protected, but it could barely move about. In recalibrating the actuators to support the higher load, the engineers were forced to slow them down to provide the required torque, severely hampering performance. The weapons were also traded for armored versions, namely the M226 armored autocannon and the RP-109A Iron Pepperbox.
