−	* In the computer game ''[[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries]]'', the ''Conjurer''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s description is altered from its original BattleTech background. The game states that the 'Mech was created by Clan Jade Falcon after the events of the [[Refusal War]] rather than after [[Clans|the Clan's]] creation. The information also states that the design was created by using factories in the Inner Sphere and claims that the ''Hellhound''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s name is the real name rather than an Inner Sphere designation.  This version of the ''Conjurer'' was canonized as the ''[[Hellcat (Hellhound II)]]'' in ''[[Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 30]]''.	+	* In the computer game [[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries]], the ''Conjurer''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s description is altered differently compared to its original history.

It is noteworthy that the ''Conjurer'' is, for all intents and purposes, the '''''Wolverine IIC''''' and was even reported as such by [[ComStar]] in early sightings, presumably for its obvious heritage; it was designed off the WVR-7H ''[[Wolverine II]]'' variant of the original ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]'', taking the concept and rebuilding it with advanced technology in the fashion of a [[IIC]] rebuild.<ref>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 168</ref> However the [[Clans]] would not retain the name of the [[Not-Named Clan]] for the redesigned 'Mech. ==Weapons and Equipment== As befitting its status as a second-line 'Mech, the ''Conjurer'' uses a standard engine, though it is constructed on an [[endo steel]] chassis and uses eight and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Its [[jump jet]]s enable it to leap up to 180 meters at a time. The ''Conjurer'' uses a [[large pulse laser]] that is quite accurate and effective at a respectable range. To back that up, it mounts paired [[ER medium laser]]s and [[Streak SRM-2]]s. 10 [[double heat sink]]s are able to keep heat under control, though a ''Conjurer'' can summon up a heat problem if pressed too hard. ==Variants== *; ''Conjurer'' 2 : Following the [[Combine-Ghost Bear War|Ghost Bear-Combine War]], [[Clan Nova Cat]] needed to rebuild, but there was a problem: they lacked the infrastructure to rebuild their [[OmniMech]] forces after being Abjured from Clan space. [[Khan]] [[Santin West]] initiated a deal with [[Clan Diamond Shark]] to enlist their aid in building factories on [[Irece]] and [[Avon]]. One of the concessions from the Sharks was to aid the Cats upgrade existing ''Conjurers'' and construct the capacity to build new ones. The resulting 'Mech was almost completely rebuilt from the ground up. The ''Conjurer'' 2 uses a [[Consolidated 350 XL]] fusion engine to achieve speeds up to 119 km/h, along with increased jumping capacity that enable it to move up to 210 meters a jump by a [[BMP Mk. XXI]] jump jet system. The weapons are removed to make way for an [[ATM-9]] that has three tons of ammunition to allow maximum flexibility. A pair of [[medium pulse laser]]s that are tied to a [[targeting computer]] round out the weapons. An added half ton of armor brings the armor protection up to the maximum the 50 ton chassis can carry. BV (1.0) = 2,051, BV (2.0) = 2,107<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 188</ref> *; ''Conjurer'' 3 : The third variation is based on the original, it mounts an [[ER large laser]] and a pair of [[heavy medium laser]]s. Three additional [[double heat sink]]s keep heat in check, while a [[targeting computer]] aids the accuracy of all three weapons. BV (1.0) = 1,615, BV (2.0) = 1,764<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 189</ref> *; ''Conjurer'' 4 : This variant uses an [[XL engine]] to achieve the same speed as the original, but saves weight for added components. A short-range powerhouse, the designers included four [[heavy medium laser]]s that max out the 14 [[double heat sink]]s. Despite that, they also included a [[medium pulse laser]] and two [[Streak SRM-6]]s to aid to hunting [[battle armor]]. For work against conventional [[infantry]], it includes two [[light machine gun]]s. A [[targeting computer]] improves the accuracy of the lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,980, BV (2.0) = 2,164<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 190</ref> *; ''Conjurer'' 5 : This variant mounts two [[ATM-6]]s, each of which is allocated a single ton of ammunition. A pair of [[ER medium laser]]s back up this model. BV (1.0) = 1,632, BV (2.0) = 1,722<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 191</ref> *;''Conjurer'' 7 : This variant trades the [[Streak SRM-2]]s of the base model for [[LRM-5]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,845<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 16</ref> *; ''Conjurer'' 8 : Introduced by the [[Wolf Empire]] this version was originally a stopgap solution until Clan spec weaponry could be produced in large amounts, but it proved to be very popular with warriors. It uses a smaller 250-rated [[XL engine]] and a [[rotary AC/5]] from the ''[[Shockwave]]'' production line. Supplementing the engine is a [[MASC]] system. Additional firepower comes from a Clan [[Streak SRM-6]] and two Clan [[medium pulse laser]]s.<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 6</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,197<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 17</ref> ==Design Quirks== The ''Hellhound'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 92 BattleMech Quirk Table - Hellhound Entry.</ref> * [[Extended Torso Twist]] ==Related BattleMechs== * ''[[Wolverine]]'' - The ''Conjurer'' is based on the WVR-7H ''Wolverine II'', in the fashion of [[IIC]] 'Mech designs, but was named differently because of the stigma associated with the name ever since the annihilation of [[Clan Wolverine]]. ==Notes== * In the computer game [[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries]], the ''Conjurer''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s description is altered differently compared to its original history.
