Okay it's fun time:
Take the mech pictured in the URL below and build it using Clan tech and then using IS tech...

Any idea what the weight and weaponry loadout is suppose to be? I would hazard a guess at 30/35 tons, walking 6, and it looks Clan-ish... Then again, with ClickyTech you never know.
Reminds me of the Ryoken, what with the hunched back and the missile rack over the cockpit, although the riased arms are remniscient of the Koshi again. Weapon loadout appears to be a ATM-9 and two medium pulse/ER lasers, though I could be wrong - the pictures of the MadCat always show it with a 4x4 launcher box, which never made sense to me.

The missiles seem to be a Nine pack so that suggest an ATM and those look like medium lasers of some kind...
It's up to you what it get's...that was the idea, YOU give it what you think it should have and then we compare the ideas and see what makes sense for this mech...

Apologies for not following the Rules as given. But here's a slightly heavier IS Version, since I *hate* making Clan 'Mechs.
Drew on my Heretic battleMech for inspiration. Additionally, I've done this one by hand, so I don't have a BV or Cost calculation for it yet, since they are different under the Tech Manual... I'll get around to it tonight...

0.0 'Free' Heat Sink (LT)
0.0 'Free' Heat Sink (RT)

H - 1 Critical Slot Free (4)
CT - No Critical Slots Free

LT - 2 Slots (4-6[1-2]) Free

RA - 4 Slots (4-6[3-6]) Free
LL - No Critical Slots Free
RL - No Critical Slots Free
Although originally slated to be a Light design, after the concept sketches were recieved by Heretic BattleMechs, the Engineers quickly decided to over-arm the chassis. This necessitated strengthening and enlarging the BattleMech, inevitably making it break the Medium weight barrier.
The Primary armament consists of 2 Defiance B3L Large Lasers, proven and tested over decades of Warefare, backed up by a Blue-Shot Weapons 10-Rack of Missiles.
Due to the use of a Light Engine, the designers decided to turn away from the sophisticated Electronics they were known for utilising, removing the planned head mounted Artemis-IV system (The Tech Manual rules don't let it split for CT launchers now, since you can free up slots in the Head and CT these days). This leaves a simple, efficient battlemech, which although slow for its size, packs a heavy long range whallop, and is still protected by an Ample 8 and a Half tons of Loganecker PlastiSteel Armour.
What has resulted is an easy to use, heat-curve efficient, well armed and armoured Battlemech, however lacking in advanced Technologies that is likely to make it successful. The concept drawing, althogh known as the 'Nyx', will undoubtedly be tagged with some Demonic name for the Heretic BattleMech concept. If successfully passed by the CEO, it is expected to move into the Prototype stage in Late 3070, and potentially stepped into production in early 3072.

More Calculations by Hand... I'm quite disgusted by it at the moment, I'll have to reduce its effectiveness to make it less BV for its size...
Total Cost 11616500
Total Battle Value 1068
Anyone else have any comments on my design, or at least designs of their own? (I hate being the only person to make applications... )

Lots of free crits...it's level 1 IS Tech!
One obvious variant is to drop one ton of srm ammo and upgrade the small lasers to meduim
Tune in next time for the level 2 version...

The point behind the clan version was to make a flexible and sturdy platform that would be easy to mass produce for secondline units. Lacking an XL engine, it is able to take more punishment and is easier to repair at the cost of weight.

Seeing one of the clan versions in action, Steiner decided to copycat . Unfortunately, they did not have the capability to produce the ATM launcher or munitions, or even launchers with a comparable weight. A comprimise was made, use a seperate long and short range missile system and increase the size of it's energy weapon loadout while increasing the efectiveness of both by including a variable-range targeting system. To the designers dismay, the weight of the weapons forced the designers to add an XL engine to the 'comprimise list', the 'Social General' in charge of the project simply threw more money at the project and told them to fix it.
