The '''''Wolfman''''' was first created by [[Valdis Ullman]], a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] belonging to the [[Legion of Vega]], on [[Bergman's Planet]] during the [[Second Battle of Ryersson]] in [[Production Year::2986]]. Originally piloting a ''[[Wolverine]]'', his [[BattleMech]] was damaged in a fight with a [[House Davion|Davion]] ''[[Marauder]]'', with most of its upper body damaged or destroyed. Fortunately, a Davion ''[[Rifleman]]'' had been destroyed only a hundred meters away from his 'Mech. The ''Rifleman'' had suffered damage to its torso and legs. Ullman's personal technician, [[Sharis Brand]] thought that the two 'Mechs could be merged together, taking the intact legs and hips from Ullman's ''Wolverine'' and combining it with the torso and arms from the ''Rifleman''.

Judging from its description, the ''Wolfman'' could arguably be described as a [[FrankenMech]], and apparently several ''Wolfman''-style hybrids of ''Wolverine'' and ''Rifleman'' parts existed, which is not surprising given that both designs were relatively numerous throughout the [[Succession Wars era]] and are apparently easy to combine in this fashion.

The ''Wolfman'' retains the ''Rifleman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s two [[Autocannon/5|Imperator-A Autocannons]], sustained by a single ton of ammunition. The two [[medium laser|Magna Mk II medium lasers]] are moved to the arms. All other weapons of the donor machines were lost.

* The design is one ton underweight, and the entry lists 112 points of armor while using only 110 points.

*Technically, the ''Wolfman'' is built as a customized 55-ton standard 'Mech, described in-universe to be built from ''Rifleman'' parts added to a ''Wolverine''. It does not conform to current FrankenMech construction rules (as per the [[Strategic Operations]] rulebook).
