Specifically the Predator and Incinerator. I remember reading the Incinerator before it was released, but I can't find it now.

Also, Hawken had books/comics produced, right_ Can someone link me to those too_ I only found the Genesis graphic novel.

Thanks!

this is the Haken Cardgame Rulebook , sadly this is just about the rules - not like most rpg rulebooks with charakter / monster outline...

This is fantastic, thanks! Those were some interesting read.

What I was looking for was pretty much the first link you provided, unfortunately it isn't up to date with the Technician/Predator/Incinerator. So is there no background for those mechs_ I swore I read something similar for the Incinerator, how it came to be and whatnot...

You better be happy...


Incinerator:

View Post[HWK]ZamboniChaos, on February 07 2014 - 07:02 PM, said:

The Incinerator was the product of covert research and development codenamed Project Phoenix. With cutting edge thermal technology, this mech was engineered to absorb and store heat from surrounding sources and convert it into offensive power. First seen in action in the Battle for Bunker 159, surviving mech pilot Jonas Obregon described witnessing the power of the Incinerators. "I saw the beasts born from the ice. Then there was fire, only fire and destruction."

Predator:

View Post[HWK]ZamboniChaos, on October 28 2013 - 03:06 PM, said:

The Predator's Patrick model was originally created to be a successor to the Infiltrator's Boot chassis. Building upon the core systems of the Infiltrator, its engineers found that with the additional load-bearing capabilities of the Class-B frame, they were able to vastly improve the technologies required for full-frame camouflage. These advanced stealth capabilities, coupled with state-of-the-art infra-red visor modifications, have led the Predator to become a favorite amongst pilots for high profile recon and ambush missions.

"Those Sentium big-wigs tell us we're "expendable assets", and then reprimand us whenever we waste one of their "expensive vehicles". What they can't seem to understand is that the Prosk have some new technologies that we have just never encountered before. Every time we go out there on a reconnaissance mission, it's like the whole jungle is alive, crawling with those scumbags."

Technician:

Scapes said:

Though the L5 Zos chassis may appear to be modestly constructed, only the experienced can truly appreciate the beauty of its design concept. As repair tools became more viable for battlefield use, alloys were developed that could maintain a structurally protective state while remaining malleable enough to facilitate the reconstruction process. However, since these metals hardened over time and were extremely expensive to produce, the casings found on most Technicians in service today possess no added benefit.

"I remember it as if recalling a dream, hazy from the wake of sleep. We were crashing, our systems failing. With my demise imminent, I begged deliverance from the quickly encroaching halo. As the figure materialized from the clouds of dust, I saw the doctor's face and smiled. He saved our troops."
- Commander A.A.
