When the [[Terran Hegemony]] debuted their ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' and ''[[Griffin]]'' - the Davions suddenly had their answer in which they could model a design that fit their requirements for an ideal cavalry 'Mech. Fierce competition followed suit by companies within [[Richard Varnay|Richard Varnay's]] [[Capellan March]] with [[Norse BattleMech Works]] ultimately winning a contract with the [[AFFS]]. The designers, led by Supervising Engineer [[Russell Bell]], while using the aforementioned inspirations opted for maneuverability, followed by a balanced weapons loadout with both offensive reach and close-in firepower without taxing heat exchange systems. Initially this was accomplished with the inclusion of a prototype Autocannon and medium-class laser, but Norse BattleMech Works felt this made the design too lightly armed compared to the competitors it was influenced by. The design team then made arrangements to allow the initial prototype to mount a [[PPC]] and additional heat sinks in place of the Autocannon, but the first PPC they were able to secure was completely unsuitable for the test frame, due to significant overheating and EM interference making for a wholly inaccurate weapon.<ref name=XTROPv5>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 5'', p. 6 "WVR-1R ''Wolverine'' 'Mech Profile"</ref> |
| − | This initial failure did not go unnoticed by the | + | This initial failure did not go unnoticed by the AFFS High Command and they urged the company to stick with the initial proposed design. Instead of rushing to create and test alternative weapon loadouts, the Norse engineers opted instead to stick with the original prototype for the ''Wolverine'' while electing for heavier levels of armor protection. Most of the armor was focused on the legs and arms, while extra plating was specially placed around the main joints to protect from shrapnel and debris. The end result was a 'Mech that was more stable, cooler running, and could endure severe punishment while outjumping ''Shadow Hawk''s and ''Griffin''s. Prince Varnay himself would receive the very first 4 production-grade WVR-1R ''Wolverine''s in [[2471]]. It would go on to become the standard AFFS BattleMech for centuries, ironically serving as a template for the Hegemony's upgrades of the 'Mechs it was based on to in turn match the ''Wolverine''. To counter this, Norse BattleMechs introduced yet another more influential variant in [[2490]] known as the WVR-3R and would not be fully upgraded to modern standards for another 85 years.<ref name=XTROPv5/> |
