−	The '''''Hitman''''' was designed to work as a spotter '[[Mech]] for advanced [[Arrow IV]] missile artillery rounds. In order to do this, the ''Hitman'' is built to be able to close quickly to the effective range of its [[Target_Acquisition_Gear#Forward_1|Forward-1]] [[Target Acquisition Gear]] using a [[GM 210 XL]] [[extralight engine]], which can propel it up to 118.8 km/h; the 'Mech also carries a [[MASC]] system, pushing its top speed up to 151.2 km/h in short bursts. The 'Mech also carries an [[Apple Churchill]] [[Guardian ECM suite]] to foil any enemy electronic warfare equipment and a [[Wunderland]] [[Beagle active probe]] to detect any hidden enemy units. With the recent invention of semi-guided LRMs, the ''Hitman'' can also guide LRM fire to a unit targeted with its TAG unit. The ''Hitman'' carries five tons of armor to protect it against any attacks that may hit it.	+	The '''''Hitman''''' was designed to work as a spotter '[[Mech]] for advanced [[Arrow IV]] missile artillery rounds.

The ''Hitman'' carries five tons of armor to protect it against any attacks that may hit it. ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Hitman'' carries an arsenal that is capable of striking an enemy regardless of the ranges they are at. For long range engagements the ''Hitman'' is armed with a [[LRM-5#Thunderstroke-L|Thunderstroke-L]] [[LRM-5]] with [[Artemis IV]] fire control system for increased missile accuracy. When the ''Hitman'' closes to the effective range for its TAG, it is able to use three [[Medium_laser#Argra_3L|Argra 3L]] [[medium laser]]s to defend itself. ==Variants== *; HM-1r : A [[Jihad]]-era variant, this ''Hitman'' drops all the standard armament and gyroscope.
