The Cloud Cobras, who were enamored with the new OmniMech, fast-tracked its manufacture in time for the invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="HLB">[[The Huntsman Lore and Blueprint]]</ref> ==Description== Exemplifying the [[OmniMech]] concept, the flexible '''''Huntsman''''' was the premier medium 'Mech of [[Clan Nova Cat]] during [[Operation REVIVAL]].<ref name=TRO:3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', pp. 170-171, "Nobori-nin"</ref><ref name=TRO:3058U/> <ref name=IC-126>''Invading Clans'', pp. 126-127 "Clan Nova Cat - Nobori-nin"</ref> First seen within the [[119th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|119th Nova Cat Striker]] [[Cluster]] during the [[Battle of Luthien (Clan Invasion)|Battle of Luthien]], a [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] intelligence officer [[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|code-named]] the OmniMech "'''''Nobori-nin'''''" (Japanese for "Banner-bearer") due to the single fin-like projection rising from the back of the 'Mech reminding him of the banner ''samurai'' wore on their backs in feudal Japan. Prized for its flexibility across a wide range of opponents and battlefield conditions, the ''Huntsman'' was almost exclusively a Nova Cat design during the initial Clan Invasion, but prior to the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] had entered service with [[Clan Diamond Shark|Clans Diamond Shark]], [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]] and [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adder]].<ref name=TRO:3058U/> <ref name=IC-126/> ==Weapons and Equipment== No expense has been spared in the construction of this front-line OmniMech that uses an [[extralight fusion engine]], [[Endo Steel]] structure, and nine tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Five [[jump jet]]s enable it to leap up to 150 meters at a time.<ref name=TRO:3058/><ref name=TRO:3058U/> <ref name=IC-126/> The primary configuration of the ''Huntsman'' sports a myriad of weapons. An [[Ultra Autocannon/2]] and [[Artemis IV]]-linked [[LRM-10]] provide long-range capability, while four [[ER Medium Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-6]] make it a vicious close range 'Mech. A pair of [[Anti-Personnel Pod]]s and a [[Flamer]] protect it from conventional [[infantry]], and an [[Anti-Missile System]] provides it with some defense against incoming missiles. An [[Active Probe]] finds hidden units, and a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] spotting laser can designate targets for homing artillery strikes.<ref name=TRO:3058/><ref name=TRO:3058U/> <ref name=IC-126/> ==Alternate Configurations== *;Alternate Configuration A : Useful at all ranges, the first alternate configuration uses an [[LRM-10]] and an [[LB-X Autocannon/2]] at long range. A pair of [[Large Pulse Laser]]s are accurate at all ranges, though they necessitated the addition of two [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name=IC-126/> BV (1.0) = 1,870<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 223</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,034<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 144 </ref> *;Alternate Configuration B : The ''Huntsman'' B uses an [[ER PPC]] at long range. Close in, it can call upon an [[LB-X Autocannon/10]] and a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s. Two [[Machine Gun]]s can make short work of unarmored [[infantry]].<ref name=IC-126/> BV (1.0) = 1,960<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 224</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,156<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 145</ref> *;Alternate Configuration C : This long-range support variant uses an LRM-20, [[LRM-15]], and an [[Ultra Autocannon/5]] for most of its work. An ER Medium Laser, [[ER Small Laser]], and [[Streak SRM-4]] handle units that get in close. A [[Flamer]] provides defense against infantry and [[combat vehicle]]s.<ref name=IC-126/> BV (1.0) = 1,927<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 225</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,199<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 146</ref> *;Alternate Configuration D : This newer variant uses an [[ATM 6]] with three tons of ammunition for increasing damage as the ''Huntsman'' closes. An [[Ultra Autocannon/10]] is useful at medium-short range, while a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers and a [[Small Pulse Laser]] are highly accurate against units that get too close. BV (1.0) = 1,851<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 226</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 86</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,007<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 147</ref> *;Alternate Configuration E : A [[Jihad]]-era configuration, the E mounts a Large Pulse Laser and paired Medium Pulse Lasers for high accuracy even while jumping. These are supported by an ATM-6 with three tons of ammo as well as an ER Small Laser. An Anti-Missile System, [[Light Active Probe]], and [[Light TAG]] round out the equipment package. Four additional double heat sinks help keep the ''Huntsman'' E running cool. BV (2.0) = 2,104<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 148</ref> *;Alternate Configuration F : A [[Dark Age]] unit, this configuration attaches a [[Targeting Computer]] to an [[Improved Heavy Large Laser]] and two ER Medium Lasers. The LRM-15 uses an [[Artemis V Fire Control System]] to improve accuracy. To offset any heat that fourteen double heat sinks can't dissipate, the ''Huntsman'' F uses a [[Radical Heat Sink System]]. BV (2.0) = 2,367<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 121</ref> *;Alternate Configuration G : This configuration carries a pair of Streak SRM-6 launchers with two tons of ammunition in a [[CASE II]] protected bay. An [[Active Probe]] and [[Targeting Computer]] are also fitted. The right arm contains a [[Retractable Blade]] while the left contains three [[ER Medium Pulse Laser]]s. A leg mounted Small Pulse Laser deals with enemy infantry threats. A pod-mounted engine [[Supercharger]] allows it to sprint at 100 km/h. BV (2.0) = 2,377<ref name="rg12p12"></ref> *;Alternate Configuration H : A powerful reconnaissance unit, the ''Huntsman'' H carries an Active Probe and an [[ECM Suite]]. It also mounts a pair of [[ER Large Laser]]s, a [[Heavy Small Laser]], and four [[Heavy Medium Laser]]s that are all tied to an advanced Targeting Computer. Six additional [[double heat sink]]s strain to keep heat levels manageable. BV (1.0) = 2,060<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 227</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Upgrades'', p. 87</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,495<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 149 </ref> *;Alternate Configuration I : This configuration provides heavy fire support. The right arm carries a [[HAG 20]]; A three ton ammo bay is in the right torso. The left arm carries an [[ER Large Laser]] and a [[Plasma Cannon]] with two tons of ammunition. An [[ER Small Pulse Laser]] deals with close in attacks. BV (2.0) = 2,277<ref name="rg12p12"/> *;Alternate Configuration N : This fusion of [[Warden Clans|Warden]] and [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] technology mounts an ER PPC, ER Large Laser, ATM 6, and a Heavy Medium Laser. A Targeting Computer makes the direct-fire weapons more accurate, while three additional heat sinks help to keep heat levels down. BV (1.0) = 2,245<ref name=TRO:3058U/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 228</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,556<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 150</ref> *;Alternate Configuration T : This configuration provides a wide variety of weapons. Each arm carries a pair of [[Improved Heavy Medium Laser]]s. Long range fire is provided by an [[Ultra AC/2]] in the right arm and a pair of [[Streak LRM-5]] launchers in the right torso. A [[Micro Pulse Laser]], [[ER Small Laser]], and [[Flamer]] are provided to threaten infantry and armor forces. The left arm carries a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher. Additional protection is provided by a [[Laser Anti-Missile System]]. The missile launchers and autocannon each have a ton of ammunition provided. BV (2.0) = 2,105<ref name="rg12p12"/> ===Apocryphal Variants=== {{ApocryphalContentStart}} These variants were introduced in various apocryphal sources, and thus far have not appeared in any canonical media. ''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:'' *;HMN-P : Alternate Configuration P features a Streak SRM-4 and LRM 10 rack in each arm supported by an left torso mounted Ultra AC/10 and an ER Medium and ER Small Laser in the right torso. Fitted with only ten double heat sinks, the ''Huntsman'' P carries only a single ton of reloads for each weapon type.<ref name=MWO-S>''MechWarrior Online'' - "Huntman Sale Page"</ref> *;HMN-PA ''Pakhet'' : A customized variant of the ''Huntman'' piloted by [[Calvin Deleportas]], the ''Pakhet'' carries twin Medium Pulse Lasers in its right arm supported by an ER Large Laser in the left arm. Each side-torso mounts paired Streak SRM-4s for accurate short-ranged firepower, while a left-torso mounted Anti-Missile System seeks to minimize such return fire.<ref name=MWO-S/> {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ==Design Quirks== The ''Nobori-nin'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 93 BattleMech Quirk Table - Nobori-nin Entry.</ref> * [[Stable]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Nobori-nin InvClans.png|Original ''Nobori-nin'' from ''[[Invading Clans (sourcebook)|Invading Clans]]'' Noborinin.jpg|''Huntsman'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3058|TRO:3058]]'' Huntsman RGilClan v12.png|''Huntsman'' from ''[[Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12|RG:ilClan v12]]'' CCG Mechwarrior Nobori-Nin.jpg|''Huntsman'' A in combat from ''[[BattleTech Trading Card Game|CCG]]'' CCG Arsenal Nobori-nin.jpg|''Huntsman'' C in battle from ''CCG'' MWO Huntsman.png|Model of ''Huntsman'' from ''[[MechWarrior Online|MWO]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== <div class="desktop-3-col"> * ''[[The Huntsman Lore and Blueprint]]'' * ''[[Luthien (scenario pack)]]'' * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' * [https://mwomercs.com/huntsman ''MechWarrior Online Huntsman'' Sale Page] * ''[[Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 12]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3055/3058]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Clan & Star League)]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: Upgrades]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3058]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade]]'' </div> [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:OmniMechs]] [[Category:Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category:50 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Diamond Shark BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Fire Mandrill BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Nova Cat BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan OmniMechs]]
