Designer Notes
By its first hundred cycles of huse, the Hunter had spawned dozens of different field variants to fill a great number of operational niches. One of the first totally original designs to come out was the Razorback. The Razorback was a heavily built machine, with a stock, blockish appearance. The Northco designers were conservative and used flat armor plating throughout. The main body was angled to deflect incoming rounds and the cockpit was completely sunken into the torso. Most of the sensor equipment was mounted in a small turreted head placed just in front of the pilot's compartment. The Razorback's weapon complement was no less impressive. It's main weapon was a potent Paxton LGPC 106mm snub cannon, held in a rifle-like manner in the Gear's huge manipulators. Adding long range firepower was a rocket launcher attached to a shoulder hardpoint, usually a 70mm pod with nine rockets. Together, these weapons made the Razorback a devastating anti-armor unit. A 7mm rapid-fire machine gun was mounted in the torso right next to the cockpit, although it was so close to the pilot's head that it is uncomfortable to fire for an extended period of time. Coupled with the standard APGL, the machine gun made the Razorback a superior anti-personnel vehicle. Finally, a pack gun was provided as a backup weapon and attached to a leg hardpoint. Some pilots used it regularly against opponents "unworthy" of the firepower of the snub cannon.
