| Designer Notes |
| The Hunter Recon was one of the first variants of the Hunter, developed in TN 1687 at the beginning of the Merchant War. The econ was an attempt at making a scouting an dlight assault unit by removing most of the Hunter's arm and leg armor plates. This would lighten the vehicle and allow it to reach higher speeds by reducing the strain on the engine and actuators. Hunter Recons were manufactured in great numbers and served extensively during the early cycles of the Heavy Gear era. When newer, better adapted scout models entered service, most Recons were phased out to second line units and militia troops. During the War of the Alliance, many were pressed into active service as artillery spotters and couriers. |
