==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Pulverizer''''' was a [[BattleMech]] produced by [[Clan Wolverine]] in [[Introduction Year::2823]]. Following the successes of the ''[[Mercury II]]'' and ''[[Stag]]'', Wolverine engineers focused their energies on a command 'Mech. The assault 'Mech that resulted was very durable thanks to fifteen and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, [[CASE]], and a standard [[fusion engine]]. In addition, a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] countered enemy electronics. To save weight, the ''Pulverizer'' incorporated the best [[Endo Steel]] structure [[Star League]] technology could offer.<ref name=JS150 />

[[Clan Snow Raven]] reportedly began manufacturing the ''Pulverizer'' in [[Reintroduction Year::2824]], presumably after the Wolverine [[Trial of Annihilation|Annihilation]].<ref>''TechManual'' p. 17</ref>
 
 
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
As a command 'Mech, the ''Pulverizer''&#39;s weapons focused on long-range combat. An [[Enhanced ER PPC]] used by the Wolverines was incorporated into the ''Pulverizer‘s'' right torso. While more powerful than the Star League version, it did not have the hitting power of the weapon that would become the [[Clan]] standard in later years. The PPC was augmented by an [[LRM-10]] launcher. Should enemies get closer, the 'Mech could also fire two [[Large Laser]]s. Fifteen [[double heat sink]]s kept the 'Mech fairly cool.<ref name=JS150 />
 
 
 
==Variants==
 
*;PUL-3R : Developed by [[Clan Snow Raven]] this configuration trades the standard Large Lasers for [[Improved Heavy Large Laser|Improved Large Laser]]s. The armor has also been replaced by [[Clan]] spec Ferro-fibrous armor. The weight savings from these changes allows the ''Pulverizer'' to carry eighteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 2,068<ref>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 120</ref>
 
 
 
*;''Pulverizer'' : A purely [[Clan]]-tech build of the ''Pulverizer'' uses a [[Large Pulse Laser]] in each arm, an [[ER PPC]], and an LRM-10 for its main armament. It uses an [[ECM Suite]] as well. Eighteen double heat sinks control heat. BV (2.0) = 2,506<ref>''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', p. 121</ref>
 
 
 
==Design Quirks==
 
The ''Pulverizer'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 94 BattleMech Quirk Table - Pulverizer Entry.</ref>
