Seeking to rekindle interest in their flagship 'Mech following its disastrous showing on Koniz, GM/Blackwell noted the [[Vicore Industries]] triggered refresh of "classic" designs to develop a more powerful and visually refreshed model. The resulting MAD-4S variant was the first widely available ''Marauder II'', Wolf's Dragoons' easing of sale restrictions partly motivated by profit but also as a means to punish the [[Lyran Alliance]] for the theft of the Blackwell developed [[light fusion engine]], as of [[3067]] selling the 'Mech to all interested parties save those the Dragoons were fighting against in the [[Chaos March]]; the [[Word of Blake]] and the members of [[Trinity Alliance]].<ref name=TROPP-56>''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix'', p. 56: "MAD-4S Marauder II"</ref> The demand for the ''Marauder II'' would only increase in the [[Jihad]] following the Blakist destruction of GM and Blackwell's production facilities for the 'Mech as part of their vendetta against the Wolf's Dragoons, with many salvaged examples in use among the nations of the [[Inner Sphere]] in a large number of variations following the Blakists' fall, the most notable being the MAD-6D developed by the [[Federated Suns]] and shared with the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name=TRO3085-268>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 268: "MAD-6D Marauder II"</ref> As the Dragoons' ''Marauder II'' factory on Outreach didn't survive the Jihad, [[Irian BattleMechs Unlimited]] purchased the design plans from the Dragoons and, after retooling their [[Awesome]] lines on [[Irian]], began producing the newly acquired design. During the [[Dark Age Era]], the [[Republic of the Sphere]] ordered Irian to shut down many of their 'Mech production lines, including the Marauder II - however, they never ceased producing them. <ref>''MechWarrior Dark Age Dossiers Pilots and Cards'' p. 184</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== With the ''Marauder'' already a powerful and popular 'Mech, the Dragoons' goals with the ''Marauder II'' were to enhance its abilities by strengthening its chassis to carry a much heavier armor and weapons load. The 'Mech was then armored with nineteen tons of [[Valiant Lamellor]] armor, giving it protection that rivals that of the ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' and fitted with thirteen additional [[heat sink]]s, a total of twenty-nine, to allow a more ferocious rate of fire. Retaining its progenitor's [[Vlar 300]]-rated engine, with the MAD-5A built around an [[extralight fusion engine]] to save more weight for weapons. To make up for the reduced mobility, the ''Marauder II'' was outfitted with three [[Chilton 600]] [[jump jet]]s that give it a jumping capability of up to ninety meters.<ref name=WD-109/><ref name=TRO3050-212/><ref name=TRO3039-302/> Retaining only the two [[Magna Mk II]] [[Medium Laser]]s, the 5A variant of the ''Marauder II'' carries as its primary weapons a pair of [[Magna Firestar]] [[ER PPC]]s in its arms which give it a powerful long range punch compared to the 4A. The ER PPCs are backed up by a right torso-mounted [[Mydron Excel]] [[LB-X Autocannon/10]] which gives the ''Marauder II'' the tactical flexibility of using both solid and cluster rounds. Curiously the 5A is built with [[CASE]] only in its right torso, yet its three ton [[LB-X Autocannon]] ammunition bay sits in the left torso, leading [[ComStar|some observers]] to suggest another projectile weapon field kit variant was being contemplated.<ref name=TRO3050-212/> ==Variants== *; MAD-4A : The 4A ''Marauder II'' is built using technology available in 3012 when the design was first constructed. The 'Mech carries as its primary weapons two [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]]s and replaces the [[Autocannon/5]] of the original ''[[Marauder]]'' with a [[Magna Mk III]] [[large laser]]. For close combat, the 'Mech carries a pair of [[medium laser]]s. Additionally, the 'Mech is built using a [[Fusion engine|standard fusion engine]], as the XL engine used on the 5A was not available at the time.<ref name=WD-109/><ref name=TRO3039-302/> BV (1.0) = 1,769; BV (2.0) = 2,073<ref name=TRO3039/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 500</ref> *; MAD-4H : Using a shipment of Lyran bound MAD-4S hijacked by pirates, the 4H ''Marauder II'' is a refit developed by the [[Marian Hegemony]] that replaces the Heavy Gauss Rifle with four [[Rocket Launcher 20]]s, six [[Rocket Launcher 15]]s, and a [[Rocket Launcher 10]] which gives the 4H incredible close range damage capabilities.<ref name=TRCIp190f/> BV (1.0) = 1,849; BV (2.0) = 2,180<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 220</ref> *; MAD-4K : The 4K is a variant based mostly on the 4S. Though it retains the GM 300 Light Engine of its predecessor, the 4K has a [[Lord's Light 3]] [[Heavy PPC]] mounted in each arm. Under each PPC is a [[Diverse Optics]] [[ER Small Laser]]. In order to make room for the larger cannons, the Heavy Gauss Rifle is replaced with a lighter, standard [[Poland Main Model A]] [[Gauss rifle]].<ref name=TRO3085-268/> BV (2.0) = 2,626<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 221</ref> *; MAD-4L : This [[Dark Age]]-era variant was created by the [[Capellan Confederation]]. It uses a [[light fusion engine]] to reduce vulnerability to engine destruction, and carries a Gauss Rifle in each arm. These are supported by a single torso-mounted ER PPC. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] powers the [[Stealth Armor]] that encases this design. It retains the ability to jump 90 meters at a time. BV (2.0) = 2,839<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 197</ref> *; MAD-4S : Introduced in 3064, 4S ''Marauder II'' uses the new [[GM 300 Light]] [[light fusion engine]] to make it less vulnerable to a side torso destruction. The visual aesthetic of the design was also altered to make it look even more intimidating. The 'Mech carries two Magna Firestar ER PPCs as its primary weapons and two [[Diverse Optics]] [[ER medium laser]]s for close ranges. For added punch at medium to short ranges, the 4S carries a massive [[Blackwell Arms Thunderfist]] [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]], the design specs of the Lyran pride and joy stolen by the Dragoons in revenge for the Lyran theft of the light fusion engine technology. The jump jets are upgraded to [[Chilton 850 Mk. II]] models and the T&T system to a [[Dragwell HiRez IV]]<ref name=TRCIp190f/> Despite this, following the Jihad the Lyrans adopted it as if it was their own.<ref name=TRO3085-268/> BV (1.0) = 2,249;<ref name=TROPP-56/> BV (2.0) = 2,623<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 222</ref> *; MAD-5B : This [[3050]] variant carries the same weaponry as the standard ''Marauder II'', but replaces the LB 10-X autocannon with a [[Gauss rifle]]. To make room for this weapon, the MAD-5B only carries sixteen [[Double Heat Sink]]s. BV (2.0) = 2,589<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 224</ref><ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 26</ref> *; MAD-5C : This version carries 32 single heat sinks. The weapons are those of a standard ''Marauder II'' but this time an [[Ultra Autocannon/5]] is carried instead of the LB 10-X. BV (2.0) = 2,024<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 225</ref><ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 27</ref> *; MAD-5W : Developed by the Word of Blake but also used by ComStar, this [[3070]] variant uses a standard [[fusion engine]]. Each arm contains a [[Snub-Nose PPC]] that does its best work up close, while a [[heavy PPC]] is mounted in the body. A [[C3i computer]] helps makes this ''Marauder II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weapons more accurate. Perhaps the most startling feature is enough [[improved jump jet]]s to move up to one hundred fifty meters in a single leap.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 268</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,383<ref>''Record Sheets: Phoenix Upgrade Complete'', p. 264</ref> *; MAD-6A : Introduced during the Dark Age this variant carries an ER PPC and [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]] in each arm, while the torso weapon mount carries an [[Ultra AC/10]] with three tons of ammunition in a [[CASE]] protected bay. Powered by a light fusion engine and equipped with a [[Compact Gyro]], the 'Mech is protected by nineteen tons of armor and carries eighteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 2,367<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 28</ref> *; MAD-6C : This ''Marauder II'' carries three ER PPCs and two ER medium lasers. What truly makes it frightening to opposing pilots is the fact it carries maximum armor and uses a Compact Gyro to carry twenty-two double heat sinks, enough to allow it to fire its main battery with very little heat buildup. BV (2.0) = 2,346<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 29</ref> *; MAD-6D : Based on the standard MAD-5A ''Marauder II'', this variant uses an XL Engine to provide power. The weapons have been replaced with [[Snub-Nose PPC]]s, [[Light PPC]]s, and a [[Rotary AC/5]]. Three tons of ammunition in a CASE protected bay provides plenty of endurance. The single heat sinks were traded out for double heat sinks, and Improved Jump Jets provide a 150 meter jump radius. BV (2.0) = 2,378<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 269</ref> *; MAD-6M : A refit developed in the fragmented [[Free Worlds League]], the 6M is built around an [[Endo Steel]] frame and uses a 400 rated XL Engine to push its top speed to 64 km/h. The jump range is also increased to 120 meters. It carries a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] in the torso, but the biggest change is to the weaponry. The dorsal cannon is an ER PPC, while the arm pods mount [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Large X-Pulse Laser|Large]] and [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]]s. BV (2.0) = 2,218<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 228</ref> *; MAD-6S : This variant was introduced in the Dark Age. It has a top speed of 54 km/h and a 90 meter jump radius. Powered by a light fusion engine it carries an ER PPC and medium pulse laser in each arm. A Gauss rifle is carried in the right torso, and is protected by CASE. It also carries a forward facing [[ER small laser]] and a head-mounted [[anti-missile system]] that covers the 'Mech's rear. Seventeen double heat sinks deal with the heat. BV (2.0) = 2,546<ref>''Turning Points: Irian'', p. 32</ref> *; MAD-8K : A [[Draconis Combine]] variant produced by [[Independence Weaponry]], this variant carries a standard PPC and a [[Light PPC]] in each arm. A [[Gauss rifle]] is in the torso mount and is protected by a [[CASE II]] system. Maximum protection is provided by twenty-five and a half tons of [[Ballistic-Reinforced Armor]]. To save weight for the armor, an XL Engine is fitted. BV (2.0) = 2,849<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 30</ref> *; MAD-10D : Produced for the [[AFFS]] this variant uses an XL Engine, [[XL Gyro]], and [[Endo-Composite]] skeleton to save weight. The arms mount a [[Clan]]-spec ER PPC and a [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]], while a [[Large Re-Engineered Laser]] is fitted to the torso. Four jump jets allow it to cover 120 meters in a jump and the 'Mech can reach a top speed of 64 km/h. Twenty double heat sinks are provided, and the 'Mech carries the maximum amount of armor possible. BV (2.0) = 2,741<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 5'', p. 31</ref> *; ''Marauder II'' C : Not to be confused with the ''[[Marauder IIC]]'', the ''Marauder II'' C is a variant specially built for Wolf's Dragoons using [[Clan]] technology. The 'Mech is powered by a 400-rated XL Engine, which gives it a maximum speed of 64.8 km/h, matching the original ''Marauder''; an endo steel chassis and ferro-fibrous armor offset the increased engine weight.<ref name=TRCIp190f/> Additionally, the 'Mech is armed with two ER PPCs, two ER medium lasers, and an LB-X Autocannon/10. Finally, the ''Marauder II'' C has excellent mobility provided by its jump jets with a jumping distance of one hundred and twenty meters.<ref name=TROPP-56/> BV (1.0) = 2,991; BV (2.0) = 2,916<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Project Phoenix'', p. 230</ref> ===Apocryphal Variants=== {{ApocryphalContentStart}} ''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:'' *; MAD-4HP : PGI's take on the MAD-4H, the 4HP mounts an ER PPC and medium laser in each arm supported by quad Rocket Launcher 20s in each side torso. Built around a 300-rated standard engine and three jump jets, nineteen tons of standard armor, twenty one single heat sinks, giving it a higher heat curve but more survivability in combat than the 4H. *; MAD-AL "Alpha": PGI's ''Marauder II'' [[Hero 'Mech]] features a unique loadout - an [[Ultra AC/10]] in each arm supported by a pair of left torso-mounted [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers and twin Medium Pulse Lasers in the right torso. Built around a 300-rated XL Engine, the Hero 'Mech features a [[Beagle Active Probe]], three jump jets, nineteen tons of armor, three tons each of Ultra autocannon and Streak missile reloads offer reasonable endurance. {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} ===Custom Variants=== *; ''Marauder II'' Bounty Hunter : This version is built with Clan technology similar to the ''Marauder II C''. It uses a standard 300-rated [[fusion engine]] with sixteen tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor and [[endo steel]] internal structure. The 'Mech is equipped with 17 Clan double heat sinks but no lower arm actuators. It is armed with an [[ER PPC]] and two [[medium pulse laser]]s in each arm. A [[Gauss rifle]] sits in the right torso with two tons of ammunition, and a [[targeting computer]] is in the left torso for increased accuracy.
