Art by David White ( Mecha-Master ) . This is the awesome, heavily customized 80-ton Mech of Duo Maxwell, an important member of Strider's Strikers. David White did a fantastic job configuring the weapons of Duo's choice. His own website can be seen here: [link] David's DeviantArt profile is here... [link]
A privately trained samurai of the Draconic Combine, Duo Maxwell spent his early days at a Buddhist monastery after being left there by his parents. Living in a variety of lifestyles, from a monk to a samurai to guerrilla fighter, he became a master of discipline and efficiency. Duo's Mech is no different. Its added sword, crafted to look like a modern katana, adds extra worry to any enemies who close range with him. The Mech's standard weapons consist of a variety of lasers which allow Duo to do maximum damage at close range, all the while activating the musculature's triple strength myomer fibers. Once these high-heat running myomers factor in, the Hatamato's strength is boosted and its sword becomes even deadlier.

That's the best looking Hatamoto ever! With the Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrades Unabridged (Inner Sphere) comes a "HTM-28T (Shin)" that carries an almost similar looking load-out with a Gauss, 6 medium pulse laser, a c3s, tsm and sword in the right arm. All lasers are in the left torso tho and the Gauss in the left arm.
Hey thanks for the comment! Yeah David did a great job on this Mech, and its become a favorite version of the Hatamoto for several people on DA. One guy even made a mini of it! That was awesome to see. I didn't know about the 3050 Upgrades having a similar variant. Ours is kind of cheese since its a commander's Mech (overly customized), but we did try to use the official rules to upgrade it and failed to get many of the Clan parts we wanted for it. Here's a link to its official readout at our main site... [link] and the regular site itself if you never saw it before... [link]
