==Description and a Brief History==
 
The '''''Hyena''''' was created as an arena, and later battlefield, [[SalvageMech]] by the [[Vining Engineering and Salvage Team]] of [[Solaris VII]]. The design was originally built from converted ''[[Kintaro]]'' [[BattleMech]]s, and were later offered for sale in [[3066]]. VEST only finished one production run prior to the [[Word of Blake]] sacking Solaris VII in [[3068]]. First production units went to various [[mercenary]] groups, [[Great Houses]], and even several [[Periphery]] nations, including the [[Rim Collection]]. VEST even sold one ''Hyena'' at reduced price to a specialized salvage team, [[Skibinski's Salvage]], in order to showcase their SalvageMech's abilities to various prospective customers through the unit's travels.<ref name=MSUp150>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', pp. 150–152: "New Vehicles - HYN-4A Hyena SalvageMech"</ref>
 
  
In [[3072]], Word of Blake forces dealt a blow to the ''Hyena''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sales with the destruction of VEST's production facilities in the city of [[Xolara]]. Sales of other SalvageMechs such as the ''[[Jabberwocky (IndustrialMech)|Jabberwocky]]'' began to lure potential buyers away.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 228: JAB-66B ''Jabberwocky'' profile - customers unable to purchase ''Hyena'' turn to more available ''Jabberwocky''.</ref>

The 'Mech is capable of lifting over 100 tons with its [[lift hoist]]s and [[Industrial TSM|Industrial Grade TSM]]. The 'Mech is equipped with a [[Salvage Arm]] in its right arm [[actuator]], while its two [[lift hoist]]s are mounted on the rear of each side torso. The design is [[Environmental Sealing|environmentally sealed]] from hostile conditions. The 'Mech is armed with a single [[Defiance B3S]] [[small laser]] to fend off scavengers and would-be [[infantry]] attackers.<ref name=MSUp150/>

*; HYN-KTO (Prototype) : The original ''Hyena'' was constructed from unarmed ''[[Kintaro]]'' BattleMechs. Only two were built, and both prototypes were lost in [[3072]] to Blakist attacks. This version had a [[medium laser]] in the center torso, had an eight ton [[cargo bay]] and [[lift hoist]] mounted on left and right torso, and a [[salvage arm]] in the right arm. They retained the [[ferro-fibrous]] armor of their donor chassis.<ref name=MSUp150/> BV (2.0) = 933<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 419</ref>
 
  
*; HYN-4B : Custom built from makeshift facilities, VEST built three [[internal combustion engine]] versions of the SalvageMech for [[Solaris Home Defense League]]. It replaced the [[small laser]] with a [[machine gun]] and one ton of ammunition. The less efficient engine reduced the top speed to 64 km/h.<ref name=MSUp150/> BV (2.0) = 405<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 418</ref>
