Okay, the ordinary Marauder II is originally made in the Inner Sphere right? So how in the world did the Bounty Hunter get a brand new mech made by the clans from the ground up?

Um, A Marauder II isn't a Clan 'mech, it is an Inner Sphere 'mech.

The Marauder 'series' of 'mechs are as follows.

Marauder: 75 tons, Inner Sphere 'mech
Marauder II: 100 tons, Inner Sphere 'mech
Marauder IIC: 85 tons, Clan 'mech

I read some of the books back in the 90s so i don't remember much about the bounty hunter but just from Sarna.net its obvious that he has something to do with Wolf's Dragoons and their for with the Clans (he and Natasha Kerensky swapped mechs). The Marauder IIC is a variant built for Wolf's Dragoons presumably by Clan Wolf for their recon expedition into the Inner Sphere.

Also, you have to remember, "The Bounty Hunter" Is not only not one person, it is not even a position passed on by heredity. Like when Michio joined House Kurita and left the mech, title, and ancient book of kills to whats his name Travis of something.... So, in essence, The bounty hunter can have any influences, abilities, tie ins, etc. in the BT Canon that the writers decide..... Hopefully that will clear things up by muddying the waters further! lol

Bud I hate to be rude but, you have to get your facts straight. I completely understand that the Marauder II is an Inner Sphere mech. But the Bounty Hunter is not. It is completely made by the clans all the way down to the chassis. I'm simply wondering how he managed to pull off a non-production mech with the clans since he isn't a clanner himself.

Ah, I guess that was a misunderstanding on the wording of your post then, sorry about that.
So I give you another answer: Money Talks. Especially to Clan Sea Fox/Diamond Shark.

simple.... with the bounty hunter's ties/involvement with Wolf's Dragoon's not entirely known, or limited..... he could have had clan tech obtained from them. After all, they were a clan recon unit sent to the inner sphere. What is so hard to understand about that? It's one custom mech, for The Bounty Hunter only, probably provided by Wolf's Clan Wolf connections and tech..... seems plausible enough to me....

Also if you read up on the Bounty Hunter, you'll learn that while the Marauder and later Marauder II became his signature mechs, he didn't always use them, especially the first couple Bounty Hunters.

Will there be Marauders in this game?? They had to take out all the classics like the Warhammer, Archer and such because of copyrights. If the marauder IS in this game...I will love this game for at least 3 years..

Agreed. If money can talk, then consider me an angel investor ready to push the Marauder series forward.

Can it be done within the copyright limits (by applying variations, slight name change, etc.)? What are the hurdles? How much time would it be to develop? How much money is needed to cover this time?

Wolf's Dragoons Field Marauder IIs IIRC, the Bounty Hunter and Natasha Kerensky have a grudge going...
