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 most common configuration of the Mad Cat carries impressive
   firepower, starting with double LRM-20 racks on the shoulders. The
   weapons pods on the arms each contain an extended-range large laser
   and extended-range medium laser. The Mad Cat also incorporates pulse
   technology, with a medium pulse laser in its left torso. Two machine
   guns round out its weapon array.
       27.5 tons of pod space

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.

Known Variants:
       Alternate Configuration A carries a short-range missile launcher
   on its right shoulder instead of LRM's, and a box-mount package of
   three medium pulse lasers in the left shoulder. It also features a
   particle projection cannon in each arm, with a small laser in the
   center torso.
       Somewhat less common is a version that mounts a Gauss Rifle in
   its right arm. Its left arm carries a large pulse laser and a small
   pulse laser. The version B Mad Cat makes use of the Artemis IV
   fire-control system for the LRM-10 rack on its left shoulder and the
   SRM-4 on its right shoulder.
       The Mad Cat C also concentrates more firepower in its arm weapons
   pods. Its right arm carries the Ultra-5 autocannon, while the left
   has two extended-range large lasers. These leave enough pod weight
   for an LRM-15 launcher on each shoulder and an anti-missile system in
   the left torso.
       Though rarely seen, Configuration D of the Mad Cat carries an
   especially unusual array of weapons. Apparently designed to fight in
   the enemy's midst, this version has double Streak SRM-6 launchers
   mounted on each shoulder, one pointing forward, and the other to the
   rear. Each arm packs the devastating firepower of an extended-range
   particle projection cannon, and the center torso holds an
   extended-range small laser.
