History & Tactics
Larry Allen Barttelbort was a Solaris VII fighter. While fighting a team match in The Jungle on 3065 in his own AXM-1N Axman his right leg was blown off and used as a club to kill Barttelbort’s partner in a string of physical attacks while Barttelbort watched in horror. Barttelbort was unable to obtain repair parts due to the FedCom Civil War, but eventually scavenged the right leg from a TMP-3M Tempest. This started his loving on tinkering on his own mech. During a grudge match in ’66, the Axman’s entire right arm was destroyed. This forced another improvised repair, this time he attached an HCT-3F Hatchetman’s right arm instead. The arm’s first swing in combat buried the blade deep into the right shoulder of his opponent’s Quickdraw. When the Quickdraw’s answering kick knocked the Axman down, Barttelbort’s makeshift repair failed and the arm ripped free from the shoulder. He lost that fight. After the FedCom Civil Barttelbort returned home to the FedSuns Outback and hired on as a pirate hunter. In 3068, a salvaged CPLT-C1 Catapult provided replacements for a left torso and arm that had become too badly damaged to repair. Barttelbort installed an experimental HVAC/10 and Enhanced LRM-15 during these repairs (though their origins are murky). His right hand has been lost eight times. Barttelbort acquired arm number nine in 3073 when he traded six tons of Artemis IV LRM ammo for the right arm of a scrapped NJT-2 Ninja-To. This replacement has worked flaulestly for four years in a row of frequent combat. Today only the head, center torso, and right torso of his original Axman remain. His Temax received its latest limb replacement during a Word of Blake raid in 3075, after Barttelbort squared off against a Blakist TDR-9M Thunderbolt. The Blakist’s salvo shattered ninety percent of the Temax’s left leg, destroying both the hip and upper leg actuator. Barttelbort’s return shots breached the Thunderbolt’s LRM magazine and triggered the ’Mech’s auto-eject system. Rather than repair the Temax’s original Axman left leg, Barttelbort appropriated his fallen opponent’s leg instead.[1]
BattleMechs
He was piloting a AXM-1N Axman in 3065. When the mech got partially destroyed, he started a FrankenMech process that ended in the creation of a Temax Cat Ninjabolt.[1]
