However, the Mk II never actually appeared in Dark Age. There were a total of eight "''Mad Cat II''" models, but all of them were, rather than Mk II models, visually identical to the original ''Mad Cat''. The Mad Cat II miniatures were explained to be direct upgrades to the original Mad Cat chassis. The model was even used as the original ''Timber Wolf'' figure for the [[MechAssault]] set. * In German products, the unit's proper Clan name (like for the original Mad Cat) was altered to '''Katamaran II''', which means ''Catamaran II''. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:MadcatMkII.jpg|Original ''Mad Cat Mk II'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3067|TRO:3067]]'' Image:MadCatII-Enhanced.jpeg|Variant ''Mad Cat Mk II'' "Enhanced" from ''[[Technical Readout: Prototypes|TRO:Prototypes]]'' Image:MW4-M Mad Cat Mk II.png|Model of ''Mad Cat Mk II'' from ''[[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries|MW4:Mercenaries]]'' Image:MWO Mad Cat MkII.png|Model of ''Mad Cat Mk II'' from ''[[MechWarrior Online|MWO]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Combat Operations]]'' * ''[[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] dossiers : Kal Radick, Inova Wolf, Seka Ward and Gus Edgington'' * [https://mwomercs.com/civil-war Mechwarrior Online - ''Civil War mech pack'' Sale Page] * ''[[Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: Prototypes]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: Upgrades]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3067]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: Prototypes]]'' [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:Assault BattleMechs]] [[Category:90 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Diamond Shark BattleMechs]] [[Category:German renamed units]]
