==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Cudgel''''' is a [[Solaris VII]] [[BattleMech]]. By using an [[XL engine]], the designers kept the speed very high, on par with the ''[[Timber Wolf]]''. To make the ''Cudgel'' even more effective, the designers fitted it with [[Triple Strength Myomer]]. When the heat rises high enough and the TSM activates, the ''Cudgel'' can use the movement profile of a [[3025]] ''[[Wasp]]''.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade'', p. 167</ref> The TSM also makes the Claw and Mace more effective, doubling the damage the ''Cudgel'' inflicts when making a physical attack. To make sure the Claw and Mace are always available the ranged weapons are all mounted in the head and torso, freeing the arms for their close-combat duties.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Cudgel's'' main weapons are its [[Claw]] and its [[Mace]]. These two weapons allow it to deliver devastating close-combat attacks, especially when amplified by its [[Triple Strength Myomer]]. For ranged attacks the 'Mech is equipped with five [[Magna Mk II]] [[medium laser]]s, two of which protect its backside, and four [[Extended_Range_Medium_Laser#Magna_Mk_VI|Magna Mk VI]] [[ER medium laser]]s. As an afterthought, a single [[Small_Laser#Magna|Magna Mk I]] [[Small Laser]] was installed, which protects its backside as well.

*;CDG-1B : IDC's original ''Cudgel'' design, introduced in [[3053]]<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/766/ MUL online date for the CDG-1B ''Cudgel'']''</ref>, had a top speed of 64 km/h and used [[MASC]] to boost speeds to 84 km/h. This allowed the ''Cudgel'' to bring its ten [[Machine Gun]]s and two [[Small Pulse Laser]]s to bear on its foe. An [[SRM 6]] missile launcher was the only ranged weapon used by this version.
