Overview:
Vulture, Mad Dog, the later versions of this mech had several
names. Of SLDF build that much was certain but this mecha, massing in
at 85 tons, the mech has the same apperance as the hunched over
reverse legged mech it is based on; even the weapons package is
roughly similar. however at 25 tons heavier this mecha is tough
enough to pound it out with assault classes easily, trading in the
pulse lasers of the smaller version, this one relies on medium ER's
to deal damage at close and medium ranges. Autocannons round out the
mechs up close firepower, the unit carrying dual LB-x AC2's with
cluster rounds for armor chewing. Heat wise the unit runs a little
hot if the lasers are fired all at once, though the small lasers are
mostly resrved for anti elemental or anti infantry use should the
need arise. Often used in hunting packs, the mechas LRM15 racks were
used to pin targets in place while additional units decimated them
with auto cannon fire; typically saving the laser weaponry for a
final blow on a weakened unit. Equppied with jump jets, this mech can
run and leap over structures if need be and this allows it to be air
dropped into target zones. To improve general weapons accuracy a EI
cockpit is included, allowing a pilot to interface and better control
the mech. Movement wise and turning wise the machine has the same
capacty as the smaller Vulture battlemech, though speed is a fraction
slower. Space wise the machine has been purposely designed a half ton
light, this extra space being used to increase the armor arond the
long angled cockpit. In performance tests this mech has been
recoreded to gun down a mixed lance of light and mediums before they
entered primary weapons range, the Hagataga only taking minimal
damage. Even in a one on one assult match, the mechs superior turning
radius and movement profile proved superior to the heavily armed
Awsome battlemech it defeated. Secondary designs include a C3 linking
and detachable ECM pods that can be mounted on the shoulders. While
each unit is somewhat expensive, roughly 21,000,000 C$bills, the
overall production cost from the specalized and rugged design is
lower then the cost of some hevier and lighter battlemechs avalable.

Capabilities:
Missile bombardment along with rapid target removal, well suited
to close or long ranged engagements having both the firepower and the
amor to withstand heavy punishment, or jumpjet away from a contested
threat area to regroup.

Deployment:
SLDF-Losttech during 2800's, later revived by Clan Cloud Cobra.
useage is in either strike assault teams or as secondary units where
the long range fire power can come into play.

Known Variants:
This variant is the final version, as the orginal units dug up,
had no in mounted weapons, rather empty slots for lasers and
ballistic weaponry to be installed. The design was chosen based on
space and weapons effectiveness over a lengthy battle, choosing to
design the machine to be dangerous at long range and deadly at close
ranges.s
