Overview:
    Insert fluff here, later, because I can't be arsed at time of writing. And insert fluff for
    the 3S even later, because again, can't be arsed.

Capabilities:
    Has a Hatchet that the design was based around, goes 4/6[8]/0 now instead of 4/6/0, endo
    internals for extra saved weight on top of the very needed freezers for its heat load, 16 of
    them for 32 sunk heat at turn is adequate if it can alpha even at running speed without too
    many penalties, Lpulse laser for longish ranged accuracy as it sprints up field, four medium
    pulses as it gets closer in to start laying on damage, two spulses for a combination of
    knife fighting weaponry and anti-infantry weaponry. Standard engine and head mounted mpulse
    allows it to properly zombie 'mech, especially without ammo concerns. Probably gonna make an
    XL variant for the civil war or jihad era that instead TSMs its way with a 5/8[something]/0
    movement profile.
    
    Think of it as one possible evolution to the Axman, a heavier melee 'mech that can have
    similar armaments but vastly different roles as they evolve with more variants coming out.
    Where instead of being primarily more ammo dependent and XL engine laden for its variants,
    it instead focuses on being a zombie 'mech for that longevity and slowly up-teching to add
    more and more direct fire damage, with the odd XL or Light engine variant as experiments on
    how to push the design without too many compromises. Honestly once X-pulse lasers come
    around, then we'd start seeing some really interesting designs. Something like a Large
    X-pulse, two small X-pulses, two Light PPCs and probably two ER mediums with its current
    freezer count, maybe MASC is ripped out and replaced with TSM and three MX-pulse lasers are
    mounted instead of the ER mediums.
    
    Also the best Axman variant is the 2N and you can fight me if you think otherwise. I will
    officially Batchall you for your right to your opinion.
