Giant Robots!!

[TheSapphireKnight]

Glad to see some other Battletech already in the thread.

For myself I will always be attached to the Timber Wolf/Mad Cat and its variants(left). I have a particular soft spot for the Mad Cat MK II and its dual Gauss rifles. I have fond memories of playing Mechwarrior IV with/against my Dad and his coworkers using my Mad Cat MK II against their Daishi/Dire Wolves. To this day I still carry that rivalry with Daishi's, my arch nemesis.

The Mad Cat Mk. II... what a weirdo. Clan mech, which uses the Inner Sphere name because 'Why not.' One of the few mechs to go up a weight class when upgraded.

If anyone's curious, this is a Daishi (Dire Wolf).

Spoiler: Daishi/Dire Wolf

The first two are Victor Steiner-Davion's, called 'Prometheus.'

Essentially the most powerful mech ever built outside the standard Battletech rules (There's a handful of super heavy/colossal units, but they're essentially unusable). On the tabletop, the fact that it has enough weapon bay space to (If the rules allowed) actually equip an entire medium mech is compensated by its outrageous battle point value. In the video games, its usually subject to equipment restrictions not usually applied to Omni-mechs (Mechs with modular weapon and equipment bays) to limit its over powered nature. If not, it quickly becomes the mech of choice by essentially everyone.

EDIT: Seems someone beat me to the punch on the Daishi. Damn you!
