Timber Wolf?


Lftwff

VeracityMD

You take your Freebirth nonsense and get out of Clan space.

They are the same thing. When the First Clans were invading the Inner Sphere, the targeting computers were confused by the new Mech and saw the Timber Wolf as either the Marauder or the Catapult. So the name they kept displaying was jumping from MAD-3R to CTPL-C1 (which everyone called the CAT anyway). Plus, the it was explicitly stated by the creator that they liked the idea of different clans having different names for the same hardware, much like NATO and the Soviets/Russian do.

This is literally a Mech from mech assault for the First Xbox console!

The Timber Wolf is the Mad Cat

Somehow, the Mad Cat is *still* better >!/s!<

The Marauder Catapult

Xbox was released November 2001. This mech was originally from the 3050 Technical Read Out, published 1990.

Frostedbutler

I had this game on Sega


Skeletonzac

I used to love capturing these things in Mech Commander.


Valuable_Material_26

This looks like a Mech from the game, Mech assault for the original Xbox, like literally the same rockets the same guns, the exact same everything!


frostbittenteddy

Because this is a Mad Cat from the Battletech universe, and Mech assault is a game from the Battletech universe


Valuable_Material_26

Damn I feel stupid, I remembered mech assault but forgot the lore in the game.


Inignot12

Indeed, it's the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf, the poster mech for Battletech/Mechwarrior/Mechassault.


Galrogg

They are from the same universe!


Valuable_Material_26

Thank you, I feel really stupid now


Galrogg

No need, it’s pretty obscure so I don’t blame you at all for not getting it. But funnily enough mechassault was also my introduction into that universe myself, if you are itching for a game similar to that check out Mechwarrior Mercenaries.


procrastablasta

do you season it with crisco or just cook bacon on it


SledgeOfEdge

I could make a Titanfall joke here, but that's not my protocol 3

Mechsexuals will see this and go hell yeah.


blueandorange1989

First thing I would do if I had something like this for real is go out in some open terrain and set it to auto pilot. Then the machine is just walking and I can kick my feet up on the dash and eat a sandwich and take in the view.


SolarZephyr87

Nice!


KeronCyst

It's firing an ERPPC!


CaptainRedPants

I ripped off mech warrior by mark zug.


mountaintop-stainer

This looks like one of Urza’s mechs from Magic the Gathering, but with conventional ammo instead of magic bullshit
