Overview:
    A Clan Coyote answer to the insult of the Mad Dog. Using several of the same molds of the
    Lupus and Mad Dog, this 60 ton omnimech is rather similar to both in appearance. Some
    observers have deemed it the 'Lupus II', but the Coyote's insist on it being a very
    different mech in design philosophy and construction. Intent on surpassing both in
    performance, the Hunting Hound utilizes a mix of weight saving technologies and space saving
    practicalities to create a unique and lethal machine worthy of the legacy of Coyote
    innovation.
    
    The base omnimech features 26 tons of podspace, surpassing the Lupus' 23 tons but falling
    just short of the 28 tons of the Mad Dog. Utilizing the proven Type 300XL engine, the
    Hunting Hound matches the top speed of both but can exceed it in certain situations, with a
    MASC system fixed into the left torso allowing it to accelerate to 108 km/h in bursts. Fixed
    into the engine are 12 double heat sinks, an improvement that the Coyote scientists were
    loathe to admit the Mad Dog had made over the Lupus. Where it surpasses both the Mad Dog and
    Lupus however, is in armor protection, despite using standard armor - with 11.5 tons of
    standard armor, it can take more of a beating than most other Clan machines in its weight
    range.

Capabilities:
    The Hunting Hound G is a configuration adopted initially by Clan Goliath Scorpion. It
    utilizes the MASC speed and pod space of the machine to maximum effect, creating what can
    best be described as a heavy scout mech. Each arm carries a Streak SRM-6 launcher, fed by a
    ton of ammunition, and an ER Medium Laser. In the right torso, a Gauss Rifle and two tons of
    ammunition for it have been mounted. An ECM Suite has been placed in the center torso and a
    TAG system in the head. As part of a scout or skirmishing lance, the design can put out a
    great deal of punishment at close to medium range, or harass heavier mechs at long range
    with Gauss Rifle shots.
