== Description ==
Initially rolling off the [[W-7 Facilities|W-7 Assembly lines]] on [[Tamar]] in 3076, the '''''Tundra Wolf''''' was the first brand new [[Clan Wolf]] BattleMech fully developed and solely produced in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="JHS:3076p114+"/>

Its introduction so long after the end of the [[Clan Invasion]] was due to [[Khan of Clan Wolf|Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]]'s decision to avoid risking Clan standard factories within raiding distance of the [[Successor States]], a choice that put the Wolves at a disadvantage after being cut-off from the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. With losses mounting during the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[Jihad]], rather than a costly and complex [[OmniMech]], Wolf technicians focused on producing a standard generalist design that could be readily manufactured and fill as many roles within their depleted ''[[touman]]'' as possible. First proving its worth during [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]]'s service with [[Devlin Stone]]'s Coalition against the Blakists, the ''Tundra Wolf'' continued to play an increasingly important role with the Wolves forces into the [[BattleTech eras|Republic era]].<ref name="JHS:3076p114+"/>

While somewhat slow for a Clan-made 75-ton 'Mech, the ''Tundra Wolf'' made up for that with [[MASC]], that allowed it to sprint in bursts and [[jump jet|jump jets]], enabling it to leap up to 120 meters at a time. It was well-protected however, mounting fourteen and a half tons of armor with an [[ECM Suite]] providing additional protection from enemy electronics.<ref name="JHS:3076p114+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Tundra Wolf'' carries missile weapons capable of delivering their payloads at all ranges, including a [[Series 1]] [[ATM 9]], a [[Type XX "Long Bow"]] [[LRM-20]], and a [[Smartshot MkV]] [[Streak SRM-4]]. At long range, it can add a [[Series 7K]] [[ER large laser]], while its [[Series 2b]] [[ER medium laser]] is effective closer in. The variety of ranges and firepower on the ''Tundra Wolf'' allow it to be useful in many combat situations. A bevy of ammunition keeps the 'Mech well supplied in all but the longest engagements. Seventeen [[double heat sink]]s keep the design cool in all but the most taxing of situations.<ref name="JHS:3076p114+"/>

== Variants ==
*;''Tundra Wolf'' 2 : This variant removed a half ton of armor and all of the equipment and weapons except the large laser. In place of the standard weapons payload it carried an [[ER PPC]], six ER medium lasers and an [[LRM-15]]. All of the energy weapons are guided by a [[targeting computer]]. Two additional heat sinks were added. BV (1.0) = 3,128;<ref>''Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I'', p. 68</ref> BV (2.0) = 3,421<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 128: "Tundra Wolf 2 Records Sheet"</ref> or 3,626<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3316/tundra-wolf-2/ MUL online entry for the Tundra Wolf 2 variant]''</ref>

*;''Tundra Wolf'' 3 : The second variant removed an additional three tons of armor and two of the medium lasers from the first variant. An additional ER PPC was added, though this necessitated the removal of the Targeting Computer and the Streak SRM-4 of the base design. BV (1.0) = 2,912;<ref>''Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I'', p. 69</ref> BV (2.0) = 3,092<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 129: "Tundra Wolf 3 Records Sheet"</ref> or 3,292<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3317/tundra-wolf-3/ MUL online entry for the Tundra Wolf 3 variant]''</ref>

*;''Tundra Wolf'' 4 : The fourth and most popular model with Wolf warriors, developed in [[Introduction Year::3077]],<ref name="MUL2"/> was a heat-friendly brawler prepared for any battlefield contingency. This variant retained the left-arm mounted ATM-9 of the original, mounting a [[Delta Series]] [[large pulse laser]] in each torso, supported by a pair of Series 2b ER medium lasers, and two [[Tau-II]] [[anti-personnel Gauss rifle]]s in its right arm. Three tons of ATM reloads and one of Gauss reloads give the ''Tundra Wolf'' 4 impressive endurance.<ref name="TRO:3085p169+">''Technical Readout: 3085'', pp. 169–170: "Tundra Wolf 4"</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,873<ref name="TRO:3085p169+"/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Print Edition'', p. 92</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3318/tundra-wolf-4/ MUL online entry for the Tundra Wolf 4 variant]''</ref>

*;''Tundra Wolf'' 5 : This variant was introduced in [[Introduction Year::3086]]<ref name="MUL3"/> during the Dark Age era. It uses an XL engine to reach a top speed of 54 km/h. It carries an ER large laser, two Gauss rifles, four [[ER small laser]]s, an LRM-10, and [[SRM-4]] into combat. BV (2.0) = 2,645<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 163</ref><ref name="MUL3">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6862/tundra-wolf-5/ MUL online entry for the Tundra Wolf 5 variant]''</ref> (''Note: This appears to be the same as the Dark Age variant listed below.)''

=== MechWarrior Dark Age Variants ===
* A slower, more heavily armed, version that saw service in the [[Dark Age era]] replaced the power plant with a 225 Consolidated XL, lowering its speed to 54 km/h. The weapons layout consisted of the following: one [[LRM-10]], one ER large laser, one SRM-4, four ER small lasers, and either two [[Ultra AC/10]]s or [[Gauss rifle]]s.{{cn}}
