I'm nearly sure they just had lostech that the clans also had, not tech developed by the clans, don't quote me on that though, I'd need to look it up.

They were equipped with what the Clans erroneously believed to be an average lineup of outdated BattleMechs, supposed to make them appear wholly inconspicuous: Five regiments of ’Mechs, including designs that were either essentially extinct in the Inner Sphere (such as the Flea, Falcon, and Hoplite) or had never before been seen there (such as the Imp and the Annihilator), complemented with likewise extraordinary support units, Dropships, and Jumpships. The Dragoons also had Hephaestus Station, a (mobile) space station with a BattleMech assembly line for the Dragoons' exclusive ARC-2W subvariant of the Archer.

No this was a vid for Mechwarrior 5.
Which later turned into mechWarriorMercenaries Online. The vid is a one shot and doesent represent this game. We do not have any actual game footage release yet.

*checks Lethal Heritage*
Yup. August 13, 3049. Knowing my luck if the Clans do invade it will be the one time where I'm kicking @ss instead of just surviving battles.

btw, why the warhammer? not a great legal move....
It's an iconic 'Mech. Until the Mad Cat, I'm fairly certain it was the mascot of BattleTech, legal issues and all. If the Warhammer makes it into the game, then it will be a huge victory for the franchise, being able to bring back one of the most beloved Unseens. I still get goosebumps seeing them in MWLL.

The first reported sighting of a Timber Wolf, was when it showed up during a pirate hunting mission conducted by the Kell Hounds, in The Rock system of the Oberon Confedration; located in the coreward periphery (above Lyran and Free Rasalhague Republic Space). Reports were that the targeting computer could not decide on the Mech in question being a Catapult or a Marauder. Hence the nickname of MadCat.

All of the Dragoon mechs come 3005 were downgraded to level 1 tech. Come 3049 / 3050 The Dragoons are indeed in possession of Clan Mechs, or at least the designs and means to build some Clan Wolf Omni Mechs, and Elementals. Their production facilities would of begun tooling up for if not started production of the Dire Wolf come 3049. They also were able to construct Clan weapons. and produce much of the Clan technology. Many of their mechs around this time would of been updated to Clan kit. So the downgraded Imp and Annihilator for example being fullfit with Clan weapon loadouts, Clan double heatsinks and such. But this stuff is ONLY available to the Wolf's Dragoons. They did not give the Inner Sphere direct and unrestricted access to Clan technology. The only way you'd get to use Clan tech would to be in the Wolf's Dragoons at this stage.
