Description
Renewing the Mad Cat legend, the Mk IV used some of the most powerful configurations of its grand brother, while also incorporating easier to find and replace components. Clan Sea Fox expected to experience the same success with this model, as it had with previous ones. The development of the Mad Cat Mk IV had its origins in an illicit collaboration between the Jade Falcons and Spina Khanate’s Beta Aimag, led by ovKhan Sha Clarke. When this arrangement came to light—and was repudiated by Clan Sea Fox as a whole—all connection with the Falcons was severed (though the Falcons did manage to retain an unspecified number of non- Omni prototypes). OvKhan Petr Kalasa of Spina's Delta Aimag was granted the right to pursue development of the Mad Cat Mk IV OmniMech.[1]
Armament
This 'Mech used the same weapons loadout previously seen on the Timber Wolf's alternate configuration D: twin ER PPCs provide a strong energy punch at long range, while four Streak SRM-6 deal a similarly powerful short range punch. Just as with that configuration, two Streak SRM-6 were mounted facing to the rear, providing the design with a 360° fire arc.[1]
Variants
- Alt. Config. A - This variant switches up all of the Savage Wolf's arament by replacing the ERPPCs with ER Large Lasers and each pack of SRM-6 with a single ATM9. The remaining tonnage is spent on four more ER Small Lasers, two in the center torso and one in each side torso, respectivelly. BV = 2,413[1]

Design Quirks
The Mad Cat Mk IV is subject to the following Design Quirks:[1]
Notable Pilots
- Anastasia Kerensky - Piloted the MCT-V4 configuration.
- Alaric Wolf - Alaric Wolf pilots an ER large laser configuration of the Mad Cat Mk IV with deadly efficiency. An accomplished strategist and tactician, Alaric is a decisive and inspiring leader on the battlefield, held in almost mythic regard by Clan Wolf warriors. His example has led many to seek out the Mad Cat Mk IV, perhaps bringing the venerable Timber Wolf full circle by making it once again a favorite among the Wolves.
