Originally called the ''Tora'', [[Luthien Armor Works]] hastily rechristened it the ''Wolf Trap'', the name [[Federated Commonwealth]] analysts had given it, to downplay its association with the Combine. The 'Mech is built on an [[endo steel]] chassis and protects the ammunition stores that it carries onboard with [[CASE]] that redirects the force of the explosion when an ammunition bin is hit by enemy fire. The 'Mech has a very respectable speed of 97.2 km/h, which it achieves through the use of a Hermes 270 [[XL engine]]. Finally, the 'Mech is protected with seven and a half tons of armor, giving it a good amount of armor protection for when it is in combat. The ''Wolf Trap'' debuted in [[Introduction Year::3051]] but fell out of favor due to opponents targeting its ammunition bays. Subsequently, the [[DCMS]] ended procurement in [[3061]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 52</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Wolf Trap'' carries as its main weapon an [[Imperator Code Red]] [[LB-X autocannon/10]], which allows it to fire both standard solid shells or cluster shells that act like a shotgun and cause damage all over the enemy. For added long range firepower, the ''Wolf Trap'' carries a [[Shigunga]] [[LRM-10]] launcher which allows it to fire directly and also give indirect fire support when needed. Finally, for close combat, the 'Mech carries a pair of [[Victory 23R]] [[medium laser]]s. This varied arsenal lets the ''Wolf Trap'' effectively engage an enemy at any range.<ref name=TRO3050U-53>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 53</ref> ==Variants== *; WFT-2 : Despite no longer being produced, [[Luthien Armor Works]] authorized an upgrade program during the [[Jihad]] at their new plant on [[Abiy Adi]].

The design retained the 'Mech's two medium lasers and LRM 10 Launcher, while adding an [[ER PPC|extended-range PPC]] in place of the autocannon. The [[Second Star League]] techs then added a [[Beagle active probe]] and [[C3i computer]] to the 'Mech.

Its standard armor was replaced by 8 tons of [[New Samarkand Royal]] [[ferro-fibrous armor]], and is armament consists of an Experimental silver bullet Gauss rifle with 2 tons of ammunition backed up by a pair of experimental [[Diverse Optics Type 25PX]] medium X-Pulse lasers.
