Description
The War Dog is a 'Mech that was originally designed by the Star League for use by the SLDF and was thought to be lost to time. Plans for the War Dog were rediscovered by Snord's Irregulars and were turned over to the Blackwell Corporation. The War Dog has since become a powerful and respected force on the modern battlefield. A Vlar 300 XL engine propels the 'Mech to a top speed of 64.8 km/h. The 'Mech is also built using double heat sink technology. This was done to dissipate the massive amount of heat from the War Dog's advanced weaponry. For protection from advanced enemy electronics, the War Dog carries a Guardian Interface Model 2B ECM Suite. Finally, the 'Mech bears twelve tons of ferro-fibrous armor for conventional protection.
Weapons and Equipment
The War Dog carries the long ranged and capable Grizzard Gauss rifle as its primary weapon. It is backed up at medium to long ranges by a highly accurate Blankenburg Large Pulse Laser. For close combat situations, the 'Mech is armed with two Martell Medium Pulse Lasers, a Martell Small Pulse Laser, and two Holly Streak SRM-2 One Shot Packs Streak SRM-2 launchers. For added defense against missile attacks, the 'Mech carries a Burow Anti-Missile System.
Variants
- WR-DG-03FC
- The 03FC variant of the War Dog modifies the 'Mech to carry a more devastating close to intermediate range arsenal. The primary long range weapon is an ER PPC. As the 'Mech closes it brings its devastatingly powerful Heavy Gauss Rifle to bear on an enemy. Finally, for close ranges, the 'Mech's weapons loadout is augmented with three ER Medium Lasers and two Medium Pulse Lasers. The 03FC model also carries a C3 slave unit to share targeting data with allied units. BV (1.0) = 1,522 BV (2.0) = 1,962[3]
- Masauwu
- Developed by Clan Coyote as a dueling machine, scientists used an Endo Steel chassis as a base. It also carries an XL engine and sixteen double heat sinks. Four jump jets allowed it to jump one hundred twenty meters at a time. The right arm carried an LB 10-X and the left arm carried a pair of Large Pulse Lasers. The right and left torsos had a Streak SRM-2 to capitalize on the damage inflicted by the heavier weapons. The right torso had an Anti-Missile System while an ER Small Laser was mounted in the opposite torso. The AMS and Streaks each had one ton of ammunition and the LB 10-X had three tons of ammo. BV (2.0) = 2,299[4]

Notes
- In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to Kampfhund, which rather means Attack Dog. The model code was accordingly changed to KP-HD-02FC.
