Overview:
Following the capture of Terra, Skobel MechWorks was charged by the IlClan to retool its factories to produce clan equipment and mechs, during the negotiation period they managed to negotiate a transfer of the venerable and respected Dire Wolf Schematics.
Wanting to impress the IlKhan, Skobel set to work trying to 'improve' on the design, by addressing some of the complaints made to it. Namely the large amount of wasted structural space that the design rarely used. Noting this the company initially tried to map Endo composite and ferro fibrous armour on prototypes, but soon found the design found it difficult to contain that much pod space. Yet from these prototypes they soon they hit on a interesting concept.
Utilising both old Comstar, Word of Blake and Republic knowledge, the company lowered the ferro fibrous, they performed a entire rebuild of the Direwolf's chassis, reinforcing and making it from denser materials. While this lost the design almost 6.5 tons of pod space, the design still held a impressive 44 tons, which allowed many of its variations to be rebuilt with more efficient and modern weapon systems.
This simple rebuild was initially meant to be named the T-Rex by Skobel, but was rejected and re-designated as the 'Great Wolf.'
Design Quirk
Long Range Targeting
Difficult Ejection
Notes
This was made as a 'Hey why not' thing and got to say its turned out scarily impressive. Yes the main drawback is that insane cost, but this time I decided to just indulge in some balls to the wall approach to mech design. All in all though it is quite a simple rebuild.
I am thinking maybe take out the inbuilt heat sink in the left leg to give a nice round 45 tons of pod space.

Just an oddity to mention. Most people are right handed, even in the clans. That means the right arm is more likely to be favored by pilots. This is to suggest a simple move of one of the critical spots taken by the reinforce internal. Not something that is even more then an afterthought, but something that isn't even minor of an issue.
Curious on the need for both types of CASE in the right torso. As pods are automatically normal CASE, it seems odd to include the type II. The need to suggest the normal CASE is a bit redundant. The abilities of the type II does make it so the normal case is obsolete in the stats.
The weapons loadouts are interesting. The first one almost looks like a Rifleman/Warhawk upgrade. The streak LRMs is a good addition.
The E alternative seems to have too many TCs. Unless my math is off, there is 2 tons to much in TCs.. The 13 ton HAG with 4 tons of MPL means 17 tons. That only needs 4 TCs. If using IS TCs, then 5 would work. So you might have some weight there to play with.
Also, the help avoid confusion, CASE should be in the list of equipment that ISN'T fixed. Otherwise it looks like the unit has it in all models, IE the CASE II. If not permanent mount, as some alts don't have it, then listing it with the actuators is slightly confusing. The same goes with the extra DHS. Just presentation, nothing that is an issue with the unit itself.
