Catapult IIC

==Description==
This design was created by Clan Wolf, but was put aside due to the invention of OmniMechs and never actually built. Similar to other Clan upgrade designs, the Catapult IIC is lighter by five tons, is faster, and includes not only an improved jump capability, but a MASC system as well. Needing new 'Mech designs in a hurry once the Jihad started, Clan Wolf-in-Exile dredged up this one, made a few weapon upgrades and did a limited production of it. The Cat IIC has proven itself dangerous in several engagements so-far, but if this 'Mech has one down-side is that its heavy production cost limits how many can be produced.
==Armament==
Deciding to maximize the 'Mech's versatility, Wolf-in-Exile scientists took out the original LRMs and replaced them with an ATM 9 in each arm backed up by three tons of ammunition in the left torso. To suppliment the ATMs, an Extended Range Medium Laser was placed in each torso as well. With only ten double heat-sinks the 'Mech must vary its weapons fire in order to remain cool. In addition it was decided to add an ECM to improve the 'Mech's survivability, and a Clan Light TAG was added in the hopes of improving Exile Warriors abilities to work with other combat units. The MASC system was purposely placed in the right torso to keep it away from the 'Mech's ammo storage. The ECM is nestled in the heavily protected center torso of the 'Mech and the Light TAG was placed in the 'Mech's head to help keep it safe. Ten tons of Fero-Fibrous armor protects the 'Mech's vital areas.
==Variants==
None. The original design had LRMs instead of ATMs, and lacked the ECM and Light TAG, but was never built. One possible suggested variant for the future was the removal of the Light TAG and replacing it with a Clan Light Active Probe. This possible variant would make the 'Mech a very effective hunter-killer.
