The first mention of a Stiletto battlemech was in an article for Battlemech "Ultralights", which were mechs in the 10 to 19 ton range. The Ymir was different in that it carried a different weapons kit from the Ragnarok. The Mad Dog's target jamming makes it a good candidate for up front fights -- the Mad Dog is also the fastest of all the "heavy mechs", although don't count on it to win any races. Deployment: Raptors and Stilettos are sometimes confused with the smaller Raven/Corvus chassis -- don't make that mistake, as the Raptor is a much more capable machine. It is the sequel to 2002's MechAssault and is set in the BattleTech universe. The token machinegun is probably not even used -- even against battlesuits. Although the weapon does not damage mechs in any appreciable manner, the weapon practically devastates battlesuits. Considering the flimsiness of the mech's armor, the special ability is perhaps best used to deter battlesuits rather than outright defence against incoming PPCs. The VTOL can then pick up the datacore or flag carrying battlesuit and make an escape while the second battlesuit delays the enemy. Unfortunately, the Owens proved more effective, and the fate of the Raptor omnimech is unknown. While not entirely devastating by itself, the Mad Dog does form a vital part of a team, and if used properly, it can deliver easy victory. Set in the 31st century, the game lets you encounter new experiences in the expansive BattleTech world. However, like all assault mechs, the Star Adder is vulnerable to neurohacking. Aside from being air-lifted by VTOLs to obvious high spots where sniping is useful, a tank must really come to fore as a flag and datacore grabber. Deployment: VTOLs are only deployed in some team type matches -- Team Last Man Standing for example, will not feature VTOLs. Mechassault 2 is a third person shooter developed by Day 1 Studios in conjunction with FASA Studios. VTOLs can ignore all terrain penalties since they fly over impassable ground. The only ability the Raven has of note is its Null Signature, which is best used for pilots whose only specialty is deserting the battlefield. History/Overview: This is a variation of the mech discovered by Lieutenant Foster, Major Natalie Kerensky, and "Mechwarrior" (a stupid name for a faceless protagonist) on a planet with Star League LosTech. Atlas, Prometheus, Catapult, Bowman, Ragnarok, Ymir, Tank 4. The battlesuit's mortar also comes into play when high ground or skyscrapers can be found to exploit the weapon. Loki, in Norse mythology, was hardly insane (in fact, he was quite cunning, bringing about Ragnarok) but was known as the trickster god. History/Overview: Derived from the mechs Marauder and Catapult, the Inner Sphere designation somehow grew more popular than the Clan name for the Timber Wolf omnimech. It is one of the slower mechs most other units can outrun. Even so, a fast mech can put some distance between itself and a battlesuit, then that's when the battlesuit is in real trouble. History/Overview: Many things have been said of the Clan Summoner, but it was with this mech that a Jade Falcon Star Colonel managed to kill saKhan Natalia Kerensky (don't get any ideas, Trueborn warriors abstain from sex; Natasha was also 60 years old at the time) in a Dire Wolf. History/Overview: The Clan Elemental is actually the first instance of a battlesuit in Battletech -- prior to that, the only other notable use of "battle suits" was Steve Jackson's OGREs, but we're getting out of line. History/Overview: The Rommel MK.2 Tank is a "new generation" main battle tank derived from the older pre-3025 Rommel tank. Three and a half tons of armor provides protection to the Raptor from most light weapons. Tanks may fire while being carried by a VTOL. However, like all assault mechs, the Blood Asp is vulnerable to neurohacking. Like other anti-battlesuit mechs, the Thor is incapable of deterring mechs with its array of close range weapons. Note that the original Corvis and the Mechassault 2 Corvus are quite different in appearance. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf Xbox walkthrough and guide at GameSpy - Check out the latest walkthroughs and guides for Xbox As new technology spread through the Inner Sphere, the Rommel -- along with its more general purpose variant, the Patton -- were regulated into home guard units as fiercer new units took afield.

The Raptor is built on an Alshain Type KR140 Endo Steel chassis and uses a weight-saving Omni 175 XL Engine, which gives the Raptor a top speed of 118.8 kph. Capabilities: The Prometheus is a much more deadly mech than the Atlas but some say the armor is slightly weaker. Deployment: This mech made its debut in Activision's Mechwarrior 2 Ghost Bears Legacy on the PC way back in 1996. History/Overview: The designation "Puma", was assigned to the Adder Omnimech when it was first encountered in the Clan touman during the first Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere. You'll return to the wars and go it alone in 15 fully destuctible environments. History/Overview: The Wendigo is a mech designed only for Mechassault. The weapons loadout of the Raganarok is otherwise the same -- the gauss rifles being the primary armament, the SRMs serving as a way to hit small units like battlesuits, and the lava gun as a close range "shotgun". History/Overview: There have been no known mechs with the Prometheus designation in Battletech. Because their Null Signature is rather long compared to other Null Sig mechs, tanks have the advantage of rolling right up to a flag or datacore undetected (and more importantly, unscathed) before making a frenzied dash back to base or to the friendly flag drop zone. Lone players will never again have to face an Ymir in a free for all, as all mech assignments are pre-assigned according to the map. Battlesuit, Elemental 3. It acts more as a medium fire support unit, standing off at the fringe of battle and firing LRMs and gauss rounds at enemies while deflecting auto-cannon shells and gauss guns with its special ability. This meant the hard-wired gear of traditional Inner Sphere battlemechs were consistently out-classed by Clan logistics organisation and omni-technology. Nova Cat, Wendigo, Thor, Summoner 6. This clone of the Atlas was created for the Mechassault series of games. Capabilities: The Kit Fox looks to be a stand-by and support mech with little ability. In fact, the first Mechassault had player relying on the Uziel/Belial mech for quite some time before heavier mechs were available. History/Overview: The Raptor was one of Inner Sphere's omnimechs, first designed as a test model to prove the viability of modular parts on a battlemech. Null Sig is always an option for Raptor pilot who seek to avoid confrontation. Two battlesuits and a VTOL can prove to be a serious threat in Snatch It and CTF. Login Sign Up Upload. It's payback time. History/Overview: The Kit Fox was a light multi-role machine for the Clan touman. 3D. It also possesses dual Auto-Cannons for medium range engagements. Mechs are the primary vehicles of the MechAssault and MechWarrior games, with most game play taking place almost entirely within the Mechs. Tanks have difficulty navigating rough and uneven terrain that jump capable mechs can traverse easily (note the SLDF Kanga jump tank is an exception, but you don't get to play one in Mechassault). Indeed, when Project Phoenix was initiated under the direction of WizKids and FanPro, the Mad Cat designation edged out the Timber Wolf name in almost all entries of the same mech. Many pilots cite the lack of adequate armament and the lack of jump jets. When they fail to neurohack, battlesuits fall prone to the ground, needing several precious seconds to get back up. Deployment: Ullers and Cougars are the more common light mechs in multiplayer. Below are the available mechs in Mechassault 2, encompassing their original pen & paper history with their past appearances in the older Activision simulations and previous installements of Mechassault and/or Battletech. Being over-reliant on one weapon type also makes the Nova Cat ineffective against mechs with energy shields and reflective armor. There’s also some pretty sweet animation improvements coming in Wave 2. Deployment: The Ymir is only deployed in very few team games for balance issues. It may sting mechs, but it will not be a real nuisance like Foster's battlesuits. During this period of incapacity, enemies can often kill a battlesuit with a few strong hits, especially in team matches. The Ragnarok is an Assault 'Mech that was developed and used by the … The skull headed cockpit was to appear as a deterrent to enemy mechwarriors who dared to oppose the Cameron regime. The Wendigo is a good choice if you do not rely heavily on auto-aim for your kills and enjoy using ACs on enemies -- it is as effective as other dual or quad AC mechs (Atlas, Ymir, Summoner, Mad Dog, Hellbringer, et al.). The Ymir cannot alpha-strike, unlike other assault mechs. If you are looking to fight in (or fight against) a Ragnarok, consult the guide's Team Matches mech appearance chart. All other mechs are either below the capaibilities of a Mad Cat, its equal, or its nominal superior. The mech's gauss cannons, mobilty, and armor make the Belial a dangerous enemy to leave alone, and fairly time consuming to take out. Remember that the Kit Fox uncloaks briefly when the Warhammer missile launches, but the mech is otherwise undetectable while charging the missile's timer. The Clan Star Adder was most likely used as the basis for this mech "clone" in the game. An extremely capable and solid machine designed for mech versus mech fights. MECHASSAULT 2: LONE WOLF continues the massive destruction; intense combat, and addictive online play that gamers have been praising since MechAssault first hit the Xbox. A mention of an electronic warfare mech (from the Capellan Confederation) was made in the first edition TR3050, but refers to the Raven. It brought into play a twin laser, AMS carrying jump capable mech with few frills and hardly any speed. Treat it like an Ymir without the shield. Capabilities: Mechassault's Thor is the heaviest jump capable mech with special armor, meaning it has the mobility and defence against battlesuits. My Star Adder remake is epic, it's waist and legs are almost done, but it's already tall or taller than 10 Spartans! Elementals originally were eight or ten foot tall super-soldiers bred by the Clan's eugenics program to fill out the gigantic suit of armor that protected the soldier, as well as enchanced his or her strength. Best Movie, TV and Comics of the Year Awards 2020, Things Ghost of Tsushima Doesn't Tell You. It is a simple no-nonsense mech that is able to work in concert with other mechs, tanks and VTOLs, or alone as a hunter-killer. Its lasers allow its pilots to sting mechs if they prove too fast for Warhammers -- in any case, AMS mechs will not be able to deter a Bowman's Warhammers, since the missiles are too large to be knocked out by the AMS. As the years of the Clan invasion subsided, the Timberwolf has been seen in service with all clans, although the late Adrian Pryde of Clan Jade Falcon believed the design to be bad luck. A 90 ton jump capable machine with twin gauss rifles and heavy lasers, the Blood Asp underwent a major reality shift in Mechassault 2. With Null Sig, auto-cannon, and an array of LRMs, the Raptor is a fairly capable battlemech for most confrontations. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the Terran Hegemony, and its subsequent successor -- the Cameron Star League -- maintained a vigilant stranglehold on any new technologies that they produced and incorporated in their Battlemechs. When you're ready...join a Clan and rule the universe...it's called Conquest. Try to use one only to scavenge a kill (or steal a kill) from the other players -- the Elemental really doesn't do much for killing power in any match, except against turrets, tanks, and other battlesuits. Capabilities: The battlesuit is small, hard to hit, and sometimes hard to see. Capabilities: The Mechassault Mad Dog is a fairly generic missile boat with auto-cannon and pulse laser secondaries. The reactive armor the mech carries is proof against battlesuit neurohacking and the tracking ability of the PPC is partially effective against battlesuits at medium to long range although the triple ACs can do some serious damage to a battlesuit once it is knocked prone via the mech's special ability. Quick footed mechs can dodge the shot with little problem, and the mech only has its SRMs and machineguns as secondary weapons. Like all assault mechs, the Blood Asp is capable of mounting an "alpha-strike". The Prometheus is capable of the "alpha-strike". The Prometheus can dish out some heavy damage, using its dual Warhammer missiles to "sticky" an enemy mech before plastering it with twin gauss cannons. Blood Asp, Star Adder 5. Capabilities: In Mechassault 2, the Raptor is a medium (as opposed to light) mech. With the addition of Guardian ECM, a Beagle Probe, and double heat sinks, the Raven slowly became the premier EW platform for the Capellan Confederation until its alliance with the Free Worlds League (and through Thomas Marik, the Word of Blake) when more modular machines were introduced. Deployment: The Ragnarok is only deployed in very few team games for balance issues. For taller buildings, such as a skyscraper, the battlesuit can "cling" to the sides while waiting for its jump bottles to recharge; by this method, a battlesuit may scale tall buildings or walls. The Timberwolf is a deadly machine and its current version in Mechassault is no exception. Thanks to WolfNet -- Clan Wolf-in-Exile's intelligence network -- some of the variants were listed in the later Comstar technical readouts (TR3067 and Operation Phoenix). 1. Deployment: Belials are good candidates in either assault or defence of a base in Base War sessions. Although battlesuits do not do much to enemy VTOLs (except obstruct their pick-ups), they are a serious threat to enemy battlemechs. Even Assault Class 'Mechs, such as the Atlas should engage a Raptor with extreme caution. It also come equipped with a dual alternating Pulse Laser for weak enemies, tanks, infantry and BattleArmor. MechAssault Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. Atlas mechs are vulnerable to battlesuit neurohacking since they lack the special armor abilities, but that is little concern to most seasoned pilots. Capabilities: The shield now requires time to charge up once a pilot is in the mech, and only reduces damage to very small amounts, instead of nullifying it completely. The Star Adder carries the new "plasma PPC" weapon, which does lend an air of uncertainty for newbies, but is considered more or less a purple PPC for all intents and purposes. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf is a super looking game, with an excellent litany of special visual effects, terrific sound, and a diversity of mechs, mission types, and bosses that will put a … The weapons loadout of the Ymir is as it was before -- the dual PPCs being hot weapons, followed by the four auto-cannons, and lastly the lava gun as a close range "shotgun". However, the Corvis was summarily worked on and became the base for a new Clan omnimech -- the infamous Storm Crow (or 'Ryoken'). Mad Dog, Vulture, Timberwolf, Mad Cat, Hellbringer, Loki 7. Turrets are only not actively engaged in battle if the player using the turret is a dumb-ass who does not know how to use the POV missile or the turret's laser and shield ability once the fighting gets up close. Though primarily focused on mech combat, Mechassault 2 allows players to exit the mech and pilot Power Armors, tanks and VTOLs. Battlesuits may also "cling" to service vehicles like VTOLs or other battlemechs. Still, unless there are a lot of people on a team, serving static defence is not an exceptionally good idea unless you are using it intermittently throughout a match to keep your enemies surprised and confused. The Raptor should use its Null Signature when heavier Mechs are in proximity to the Mech, or when infiltrating enemy strongholds, choke points, or otherwise, hostile areas. The LRMs and ACs are the Mad Dog's primary bite; using the pulse lasers incurs rather high heat with little gain. The battlesuits may cover each other's escape (one hacks a mech, the other runs with the datacore or flag) while the VTOL pilot drops some residual armor to keep the battlesuits alive (as well as itself, if hit). Capabilities: The Mad Cat is the yardstick by which all other mechs are judged. In Capture the Flag and Snatch It, Belials can form either part of the raiding party or as a suicidal rear guard to entagle heavier mechs so their team mates can escape. To date, approximately a half dozen official variants exist for the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf both in the Inner Sphere and in Clan space. Deployment: Loki mechs are fairly uncommon, if only on certain maps the light mechs with Null Sig do much better. Although impressive looking, the Blood Asp does have its drawback -- the plasma PPCs are just as slow and stupid as the normal PPC. MechAssault is a video game released for the Xbox notable for being one of the first games to support Xbox Live online multiplayer. The original design was a Capellan Confederation fire support mech capable of jumping and keeping up with the heavy elements of a mech lance. They can carry two battlesuits or a tank in addition to any other internal cargo in the form of power-ups (salvage) for either themselves or the VTOL's allied battlemechs, battlesuits, or tanks. You won't be going anywhere for some time. Additionally, the tank's maingun is far too weak to seriously damage anything other than light mechs, battlesuits, tanks, and VTOLs. Pilot 2. Like all assault mechs, the Prometheus is highly vulnerable to neurohacking, but is quite deadly in mech versus mech combat. This project was created Summer 2016 - MechAssault Raptor - 3D model by Jesse Abraham (@artofruin3d) [7bf0521] Explore Buy 3D models. It can use its claw to climb walls such as buildings and such, but this of little use outside of the singleplayer campaign. While the turret's shield protects it somewhat, the problem is that the shield does not stop small units like tanks or battlesuits from walking past the shield and sticking their guns right into the turret and firing (or a pilot placing a bomb) -- the shield does not prevent such shenanigans from occuring. Capabilities: The new Rommel-2 NST combines a hybrid energy-ballistic cannon with a generic machinegun. One of the newer omnimech designs, the Nova Cat employed the then experiment clan heavy lasers in its armament, giving the heavy machine a damage curve that matched its equally high heat curve. Having an allied battlesuit riding the Prometheus will help prevent neurohacking, but few people on Xbox Live will be willing to trade their rank to truly help out a Prometheus pilot. It was designed as an infantry support mech, hence its low standing in the "battlemech is king" mentaility of Clan mechwarriors. A Draconis Combine Jenner was reverse-engineered by DCMS scientists into the Owens. When it is available, make the most of its hide and hit ability with your teammates. Navigation basics; All controls; Orbit around. Deployment: Hellbringers are occasionally seen available in certain team events; when they are available, team them with anti-battlesuit mechs. The version in Mechassault has kept much of its forebear's concept alive.

MECHASSAULT 2: LONE WOLF continues the massive destruction; intense combat, and addictive online play that gamers have been praising since MechAssault first hit the Xbox. ... Raptor, Stiletto, Raven, Corvus, Kit Fox, Uller, Cougar, Puma 8. The Star Adder is one of the assault mechs capable of mounting an "alpha-strike". -MechAssault 2 manual. Still, its single PPC carries quite a sting at level 2 or level 3 -- if forced into a fight with other light mechs, the Puma is definitely one of the mechs with the firepower. This allows them to hitch rides on stronger or faster allies and assist them with their fire power. It had several notable abilities, namely that it had a weapon called a Lava Gun and it could erect an indestructable shield around itself to immunize it from damage. Capabilities: The Loki in Mechassault lacks the jumpjets of the original but sports Null Sig to compenstate for its sacrifice in mobility. Capabilities: The Wendigo relies on its lone PPC and triple AC for damage. Two Xboxes - Aside from two copies of Mechassault 2, two televisions televisions, the A/V and power cords, and one controller per player, you will need a "cross-over" cable. Consult the first edition of TR3026 for VTOLs used in the Inner Sphere prior to the Clan Invasion. TR3058 has an excellent vehicle section for post-Clan Tech Level 2 vehicles (including the very awesome Gauss rifle toting Yellow Jacket VTOL). Loki mechs are usually too slow to catch fast mechs or VTOLs, but they do carry some decent firepower. DimmestBread- Mechassault 2 plays on Xbox 360! Since a tank can be carried by a VTOL, a serious team-player/gung-ho attitude must be adopted in order for tank/VTOL teams to be effective. The Catapult should be viewed as a support Mech and not … There were no designs prior to Mechassault where a mech sported the Belial designation. VTOLs have access to the four main power-ups in the game: armor, energy ammo, ballistic ammo, and missile ammo (note the VTOL will need to max-out its missile weapons before it can be loaded into cargo). More suited for support rather than taking on other 'Mechs head on, the Raptor should be used for capturing objectives than fighting. Deployment: The Uziel is a common mech to pilots both in the campaign and in multiplayer. Auto-cannons do not auto-aim, so the pilot must be skilled in its use. Deployment: Wendigo mechs are occasionally seen in some team matches. The alternative model (Wendigo) is a much more flexible machine. Their attack capabilities are also very limited, and do not pose a seriou… The weapon set on the Loki is lesser than that seen in other Heavy Mechs, but seems more similar something that would be found on a Medium Mech. Deployment: The Hackman is best used to hit a mech with the "cracked" look -- while a single gauss shot may not appreciably damage a mech, it does do enough damage to land the decisive killing blow on some occasions. Despite their drawbacks and their lack of speed, tanks are much valued in team games since they can continuously snipe at enemies from far away thanks to their zooming ability. The three lasers the mech has seems to be a convenient afterthought for the pilot to deal with smaller mechs and battlesuits. Unlike regular battlemechs, Clan omnimechs share sets of common parts such as weapons, actuators, and detection equipment; this meant that a badly damaged part could be exchanged for a functioning one from an inoperable mech, or that a mech configured with one set of weapons can swap for a different weapons kit and being a different task the next day. Deployment: The Elemental is deployed only in certain non-team maps and matches. Unlike the Puma, the Kit Fox is quite invisible when it charges and fires its Warhammer missile while cloaked. History/Overview: The Inner Sphere Owens was an attempt by the House Lords to test their technology and economies in creating and maintaining a sizeable force of omnimechs. Turrets almost never never come under attack unless opposing players are interested in Spawn Camping (in which case they may need to deal with auto-turrets) or they are in the way of a Base War or Snatch It match. Battlesuits, while annoying and sometimes lethal to 'mechs, are also very fragile due to their small stature. Take out the elementals and then deal with the Raptor. Capabilities: Released as a part of a "downloadable parcel" on Xbox Live, the Raven has received less than stellar reviews. Lastly, unlike pilots (who are equally small), battlesuits have enough metal in them to make them show up on RADAR, instantly revealing their position to friend and foe alike once they are in detection range. For MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf on the Xbox, Guide and Walkthrough by rathee. To date, there are no less than 350 different Battlemechs produced by FASA, Victor Muscial Industries, Virtual World Entertainment, FanPro, and Wizkids combined; there are possibly even more variants, both official and unofficial. Battlesuits come with the ability to "neurohack" enemy battlemechs, which results in an instant kill for your team (the ejected enemy pilot dies on impact with the ground), however the process can be quickly quashed by application of quick reflexes or by a special ability. Deployment: Use the Corvus exactly as one would a Cougar -- i.e., raiding, scouting, flag or core grabbing. Raven was conceived as an electronics warfare unit back in the early 31st Century. It was as ineffective then as it is now. Deployment: Star Adder mechs are deployed occasionally in some matches. The AMS functions differently in Mechassault 2 -- instead of luring missiles away using a flare, the AMS turret now acts like the Laser AMS and actively shoots down incoming warheads before they touch your ride. Capabilities: The Bowman in Mechassault keeps the "heavy fire support" role by equipping twin Warhammer missiles along with a host of seldom used secondary armament. Like most light mechs, the special ability is best used to shake off battlesuits instead of using it as active defence against lasers and PPCs. Hackman pilots are best used in a team enviroment, such as Team Destruction, to best exploit the enemies' distraction to notice a Hackman until it is too late. The experiment worked, and the prototype was refined to be a light omnimech. Lethal destruction from a whole new perspective is at your finger tips. History/Overview: The Loki is the Inner Sphere designation of the Clan Hellbringer, for one Inner Sphere officer viewed the weapon layouts of each configuration and deemed them, "utterly mad". Heavy armor protects the Atlas, and like all assault mechs, the Atlas is capable of the "alpha-strike". That design, strangely enough, was not "Macrossed" and instead, remained with FASA's battletech line, unmolested until the creation of the Timber Wolf. It weighs in at 40 tonnes and can travel at 30 Mph. If you (as a dismounted pilot) have a choice between clicking the right stick and boarding this "mech", click the right stick. Product description MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf continues the massive destruction, intense combat, and addictive online play that gamers expect. The Spider 'Mech is a gigantic spider-like machine, throughout the entire game it is only encountered once. Unfortunately, the PPC, when charged, gives off a rather tell-tale light that reveals the mech's location even if it is cloaked. History/Overview: The I.S. Quite a package for a heavy mech. Summoners are used rather often in many Mechwarrior 2+ games -- the chassis is made of standard alloy, meaning the internal spaces allowed Clan technicians to design various weapon pod arrays. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf continues the destruction, intense combat, and online play introduced by the first MechAssault game. History/Overview: One of the few mechs that has no past history in the pen and paper Battletech. Its distinctive over the shoulder barbed harpoon weapons (the Plasma PPCs) should immediately identify the mech to both friend and foe. With twin PPCs, dual machineguns, and four SRMs, the Mad Cat is the quintessential "battlemech" of FASA fame. Raptor, Stiletto, Raven, Corvus, Kit Fox, Uller, Cougar, Puma 9. The missile launchers attached to the Raptor's shoulders both fire two Crossbow SRM's at a time, on base level. A favorite tactic of Loki pilots in Team Destruction is to cloak their mech, then join an already moving column of assault and heavy mechs, springing out just when the battle is joined. Deployment: Don't use an Owens unless there's nothing else available. The Raptor is a Medium 'Mech with a weapons pack that could potentially rival Heavy Mechs. Consider including a Thor in team games (esp. Although, given the screenshots posted last month, I’m pretty sure that’s actually the Raptor II, which was also introduced in MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf. Jump capable, as with most light mechs, the Cougar can navigate broken and rough terrain, allowing it the ability to scram when the fight does not go its way. What's yours is yours and what's theirs is yours too...if you're good enough. Clan Wolf, Clan Jade Wolf, and Clan Wolf-in-Exile all relied heavily on the Timber Wolf as the forefront of their forces -- the Inner Sphere appreciated the Timber Wolf's chassis and twin box launcher design when Clan Diamond Shark sold hard-wired Mad Cat IICs to the Draconis Combine and Free Rasalhague Republic around the time of Operation Bulldog. It had several notable abilities, namely that it had a weapon called a Lava Gun and it could erect an indestructable shield around itself to immunize it from damage. VTOLs are not only vulnerable to enemy fire (two fully charged PPCs will kill one regardless of how well armored it is), but VTOLs only have one weapon system -- LRMs -- which can be dealt with using AMS. A heavy/assault class mech armed with Arrow IV systems, the Bowman was shunned by most Clans save for those who valued such devastating fire support.
