Editing Timber Wolf (section)

==Mad Cats, Mad Cats Everywhere==
Being an awesome 'mech, it was inevitable that everyone and their dog tried to replicate its success:

* Mad Cat Mk. II - [[Clan Diamond Shark]], the greedy bastards that they are, realized that they could cash in on the Timber Wolf's reputation and basically made a 90-ton Assault-class version of it after bulking up its mass. Packing twin LRM-10 racks and the Mad Cat's profile, the MK. II variant is notable in that it packs a Gauss rifle in each arm and is capable of mounting jump-jets to increase mobility.
* Mad Cat Mk. III - Trying to corner new markets, the Sharks made a medium 55-ton version of the Timber Wolf. The Clans think of it as an insult due to being a lower weight class while Inner Sphere factions were more than happy to buy them by the lot.
* Mad Cat Mk. IV - Better known as Savage Wolf, it is for all purposes the Dark Age Era Timber Wolf, a direct upgrade to the original 75-ton model with the new post-Jihad technologies such as Ferro-Lamellor armor.
* Rakshasa - An Inner Sphere knock-off courtesy of Federated Suns. <s>Rather okay</s> actually pretty good(by IS standards) in specs. But trying to emulate the Timber Wolf and being merely okay at it whiles lacking the Omnipod tech to customize it gave it a very bad reputation; preventing any widespread popularity.
