HCM — Hunchie Walks Tall | Cinematic Electronic Battle Anthem

Inspired by a comment from thenickshark1:

"Hunchback pilots are kinda crazy as in their medium mech they'll look at an assault mech and think "Yeah... I can 1v1 him!" And the scary part is half of them are right"

This song was born from that spirit — bold, unhinged, and unstoppable.

"Hunchie Walks Tall"

“Mechbay three, power surge in bay four!”
“Who’s rollin’ out that noise?”
“It’s the Hunchie again…”
“Brace yourselves!"

Boots hit steel, and the deckboards shake,
Power lines hum, my circuits wake.
I’m grinnin’ wide inside the hull,
Half insane and fully dull.
They call me reckless — I call it flair,
You blink once, I’m already there.
I play it loud, I take the brawl,
They say I’m crazy — I call it all.

Medium chassis, heavy heart,
They laugh until I tear apart.
All jokes aside, I bring the haul —
When Hunchie stands, the larger fall.

Hunchie walks tall, no fear, no stall,
When the cannon roars, they drop and crawl.
One clean hit, one booming call —
You mess with the hunch, you’ll lose it all!

Left side lean, I tank the pain,
My ammo cooks, I stay insane.
Urban brawl, close-range fun,
I pick my fights — then end ’em, son.
They said I’d fall — I proved ’em wrong,
My cannon sings the victory song.
Ain’t built for grace, I’m built for thrall,
Crooked spine, but standing tall.

Medium chassis, heavy heart,
They laugh until I tear apart.
All jokes aside, I bring the haul —
When Hunchie stands, the larger fall.

Hunchie walks tall, no fear, no stall,
When the cannon roars, they drop and crawl.
One clean hit, one booming call —
You mess with the hunch, you’ll lose it all!

They say I’m bent — yeah, bent for speed,
I charge through hell, I plant the seed.
You weigh me down? I’ll break your crown,
I shoot once up — you’re goin’ down.
They call me mad, I call me right,
Fifty tons of pure delight.
My aim is true, my back may stall —
But I don’t bend — I walk tall!

Hunchie walks tall, loud and clear,
Metal heart, no room for fear.
Hunchie walks tall, I take it all —
You can’t break steel that loves to brawl!

Hunchie walks tall, fire and rage,
Steel berserker, out the cage!
Hunchie walks tall, I heed no call —
Just lock and load… and wreck ’em all!

“Target destroyed.”
“...Wait, that was a medium mech?”
“Yeah. The crazy one...”
