Mad Cat MK IV

Renewing the Mad Cat legend, the Mk IV used some of the most powerful configurations of its ancestor. Clan Sea Fox expected to experience the same success with this model as it had with previous ones. The development of the Mad Cat Mk IV had its origins in an illicit collaboration between Clan Jade Falcon and Spina Khanate's Beta Aimag, led by ovKhan Sha Clarke. When this arrangement came to light—and was repudiated by Clan Sea Fox as a whole—all connection with the Falcons was severed (though the Falcons did manage to retain an unspecified number of non-Omni prototypes). OvKhan Petr Kalasa of Spina's Delta Aimag was granted the right to pursue development of the OmniMech, sold as the Mad Cat Mk IV to the Inner Sphere and as the Savage Wolf to the Clans.

The production model is a top-of-the-line OmniMech, built with an endo-steel chassis around an ultra-lightweight XXL fusion engine. Able to reach speeds of 86 kph and with 28 tons of space for weapons and equipment, the Mad Cat Mk IV is deadly on the offensive, and its 16 tons of ferro-lamellar armor provides ample protection from all attacks. It is also equipped with an armored gyro to keep it on its feet once that armor is penetrated. 15 integrated double heat sinks are able to handle most heat loads, but additional ones may need to be fitted to maintain optimal performance
