So, pre MASC and Speed tweak, 97 kph, after tweak, 107, with MASC? Who knows. (130ish though in bursts) and 6 locked JJs. (Sure to make some Clammer cry)

After maxing out armor, you got 16 tons of pod space, with all but torso missiles sitting in very high hardpoints.

With 16 tons, and the hardpoints listed, be pretty easy to come up with some solid builds.

Prime Right Torso, Beta Arms and Left Torso? 1 high mount ER PPC (RT), 2x ERMLs + 2x SRM4 w/ 1 ton ammo each (RA/LA) and ECM (LT) + 3 DHS.

Toss together the Alpha RT with the Arms and LT from the Beta? 3x SRM4 (1 ton ammo each), 2x ERLL, ECM, +1 DHS.

Should be fun. Might this finally be a Clan Medium I actually like? (Would be ironic since I never much cared for it in other MW titles)

Im having a hard time convicing myself to not buy Wave III. I have a feeling that by the 17th I will have lost that battle. I love me some shadow cat and cauldron born.

Arrow

130 kph, 6 jj arrow......... downside is ammo load be a little light... only about .5 a ton though. Could be fun.

Or slap on a C-ERPPC, 6 MG w/ 3 tons ammo, ECM, C-aSRM6, 2 ton ammo (or 1 ton with +1 DHS, or a C-aSRM4 with 1.5 tons ammo, +1 DHS)

If it looks anything like that concept art, and doesn't suffer a LOLHUGE medium mech scaling mishap - this mech is going to be amazing.

I'm trying very, very, very hard to resist making my first Clan 'mech purchase. I'm an IS fanboy through and through but the Arctic Cheetah and Shadow Cat just look too damn good to resist (in terms of both hardpoints and aesthetics).

I may need an intervention

I bought the whole smash Wave 3 just because the Shadow Cat was there. I'll join you in the intervention. :lol:
