An anti-missile system increases its protection. Sixteen double heat sinks allow this 'Mech to fire all weapons and not worry about heat so long as it sticks to its cruising speed. When it closes, it can use an all-energy configuration of two ER Medium Lasers, two ER Small Lasers, and four ER Micro Lasers. its weapons consist of a pair of LRM-20s for use at long range, though each launcher only has enough ammunition for six shots. Mad Cat III 4 This variant uses an Endo Steel internal structure.This variant also uses a standard Endo Steel skeleton. Two ER Medium Lasers are in the left arm, while the right arm carries a single ER PPC. Mad Cat III 3 This variant carries two LRM-20s enhanced with Artemis IV fire control systems.Protected by ten tons of Ferro-Lamellor armor, the Mad Cat III-X carries an ER Medium Laser and ER Small Laser in each arm, while each side torso carries an Artemis V FCS-equipped LRM-20 and a pair of ER Micro Lasers. It uses an experimental Endo-Composite skeleton for weight savings while leaving enough room for weapons. Mad Cat III-X This version was developed by Clan Diamond Shark for sale to the Inner Sphere in 3076.Unlike the Mad Cat III-X that apparently inspired it, this version uses standard Ferro-Fibrous armor for protection, but retains the Endo-Composite skeleton. Weapons and Equipment Īrmed with twin LRM-20's equipped with Artemis V, six ER Micro Lasers, and a pair of ER Medium Lasers in each arm, the Mad Cat III can quickly inflict a lot of damage on its opponent. The 'Mech makes use of weight-saving technologies in the form of an XL Engine and an Endo-Composite structure. Eight and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor offer adequate protection, though with only ten Double Heat Sinks the design can be easily overheated. With its top speed of 97 km/h, the Mad Cat III can quickly close with enemies to bring its short-range armament to bear.
Intended for sale to both Inner Sphere and Clan customers, it has been shunned by the Clans save for the Nova Cats and Exiled Wolves as ".an outrage against everything Nicholas Kerensky stood for and taught us." However, it has proven popular with the Successor States and the Republic of the Sphere. With the success of the Mad Cat Mk II design Clan Diamond Shark developed the Mad Cat III as a medium 'Mech to accompany the heavy Mad Cat and assault Mad Cat II.
