Upon it first appearance to the Inner Sphere in the Oberon Confederation,
ComStar named this impressive Mech the Mad Cat because it shares its hunched
torso chassis with the Marauder as well as the Catapult. Soon after, the Mad
Cat gained an infamous reputation as a devastating opponent.
A powerful mix of long-range weapons and speed; the Mad Cat often
cripples enemies before they can even engage properly. Rushing tactics
employed by other long-range Mechs prove suicidal against the Mad Cat, to
its excellent armor protection and arsenal of machine guns and lasers.
Most closely associated with Clan Wolf, the Mad Cat has long been a
symbol of Clan martial superiority. Although the fall of their home world
has eliminated any immediate threat from the Clans, the appearance of the
Mad Cat on a battlefield still unnerves the most hardened mechwarrior.
