Pre-order the Timber Wolf now!

[font=" Courier; background-color: transparent;"]ComStar Relay Message 18838299-0F1[/font]

ORIGIN: The Rock

DESTINATION: Terra

SENDER: Kell Hounds (CO: Phelan Kell)

DATE: August 13, 3049

------------- BEGIN TRANSMISSION -----------------

We have engaged a new aggressor on the battlefield. It is massive yet has the agility and nimbleness which you would expect from a much lighter '˜Mech. My targeting computer is in a state of confusion and keeps switching between Marauder and Catapult signatures but will not positively identify the enemy directly. From my initial observations, it™s weapon systems are far reaching compared to our counter-parts.

While visually the '˜Mech looks somewhat familiar, it is definitely not the same chassis we'™ve seen on the battlefield to date. The warrior'™s ferocity and this new technology appears to be an advanced military force never seen before. Will update with more information.

--------------- END TRANSMISSION ------------------

Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)

Produced on the sacred world of Strana Mechty and first encountered on The Rock by the Inner Sphere in 3049, the Timber Wolf is fast and powerful. A prime example of efficient Clan design.

Sporting a battery of lasers, twin machine guns and twin LRM-20s, it is able to engage enemies at all ranges; and with over 27 tons of space available for weapons, the Timber Wolf is a customizer's dream, able to load as much weaponry as many Assault Mechs.

Weapons and Equipment

The default configuration of the Timber Wolf features a blend of energy and missile weaponry; primarily ER lasers and LRMs, giving the Timber Wolf considerable power at mid- and long-ranges. It also comes equipped with an array of lighter, shorter range weapons for use when the '˜Mech draws closer to its prey.

Primary Configuration:

• [background=transparent;]2x ER Large Lasers[/font]
  
  
• [background=transparent;]2x ER Medium Lasers[/font]
  
  
• [background=transparent;]1x Medium Pulse Laser[/font]
  
  
• [background=transparent;]2x LRM-20'™s[/font]

Oh my.......

.....!?!?!

Nice but how are they going to do those large missile pods. MW4 added destructible boxes for them but isnt making them part of the arm or torso just make that section to vulnerable.

All that glass cockpit i sure hope they are easier to see where the hit box is than say the catapult and cataphract that had allot more glass than was actually the hit box.

[Kaeseblock]

Nice!

[GunnyKintaro 01]

nice thank you !!!

[Nathan Foxbane]

I like it, I love it! I want some more of it!

There is something off in the apostrophe representation.

The upper legs do look a bit on the beefy side. Maybe slightly narrower than the lower portions.

Oh my....I wanna it NAOOOOOOOW !!!

[CeeKay Boques]

I see this mech.

[AlmightyAeng]

As with 99% of the time, the art team gets a +1.

I look forward to using C-Bills to purchase sometime between 6 and 18 months from now.

[Madw0lf]

That has got to be the Smechxiest killing machine I have ever seen.......you may yet get me to open my wallet on one (or more....) of these....

[Danghen Woolf]

Good job. Blackhawk next please...

Sweet looking mech. From what I can tell, the side torsos are very thin except for the missile racks. If that is the case, then it should hold up decently since the majority of players aim for center mass. Also, since clan mechs won't die from losing a side torso with an XL, the lose of a side torso will not be as punishing.

I might just have to upgrade my tier 1 clan pack after all.

Seems a bit tall.

But I like it.

Also, I like the HP config you had at the bottom. Keep up the good work .

Meh, never thought I would be disappointed by Timber Wolf's screenshot. Legs look disproportionally big on these pictures. No Clan Wolf insignia is also meh (quadruple meh, actually). PGI, are you sure you have folks common with BT lore and Clans Invasion story details?

Yeah, seems a bit too tall. Perhaps a bit too leggy.

Long Legs.

Edit: Guess you need long legs for those gorilla arms.

Hardpoints:

• LT: 1E, 1M
  
• CT: 1B
  
• RT: 1B, 1M
  
• RA: 2E

I don't mean to nit-pick, but should the LT read 1B, 1M and the CT be 1E?

Otherwise, it looks Awesome!
