==Overview:==
The Inner Sphere's first brush with an OmniMech was with a Mad Cat on The Rock, Oberon Confederation, 13 August 3049. It was from a broadcast by a member of the Kell Hounds mercenary unit that Our Blessed Order learned of these machines and their mysterious masters. ComStar named this design the Mad Cat because its hunched-over torso is common to both the Marauder and Catapult. The Mad Cat is an exceptional combination of an XL Class engine, Endo Steel internal structure, Ferro-Fibrous armor, and double heat sinks.

==Capabilities:==
The Alt T is a new variant being tested by CiW, it appears to be a Commander's Variant. Mounting a pair of ER Lg Lasers and Twin LRM 15 launchers for long range firepower, backing these weapons are 4 ER Medium lasers, and a Streak SRM 4 launcher nestled in the center torso. The oddest inclusion in the machine is the ECM suite that sits in the right torso.

==Deployment==
The Mad Cat is the favorite 'Mech of the Wolf Clan. It can claim a large share of the credit for the Wolves' great successes and there is no apparent explanation why it appears in only moderate numbers with the other Clans.

Not that this variant is bad, or not powerful enough, but what is the reason for it's existence, when there are configurations like the prime, C, or Pryde?

Well by downgradeing the LRM 20's in the prime you get more staying power on the field, with more ammo for the LRM 15's (you also get a better hit % in the missile hit's table, with the 15's over the 20's. I dropped the superfulous med pulse and machineguns to increase the overall firepower as well as remove the useless machinegun ammo. Then I added the ECMsuite but that could be dropped mostlikley for a paire of artemis additions to the LRM's

The C variant. Well to be honest I love the Twolf look but really cant stand any of the variants. Besides it only have 1 ton ammo for that AC5. And 1 ton of ammo for each LRM 15. Clan Wolf In Exile dosent fight like the normal clans they have adapted IS tactics (one of the reasons they were one of 2 clans to achieve thier goal on tarkyyad(sp). )

The Pryde variant is ok. but it is Clan Jade Falcon. this is a command variant for Clan wolf in Exile.
