With a top speed of 88.02 kph, the Mad Cat Mk II is extremely fast for an assault mech, engine upgrades totaling 36 tons are required to achieve this speed, however, sacrificing a great deal of potential firepower. It is heavily armored for extended survivability even under the most severe conditions.
A comprehensive suite of equipment, including Jump Jets, make for a powerful weapons platform. While optimized for missile operations, 8 Ballistic slots and 4 Omni slots can outfit the Mad Cat MKII to tackle a wide variety of operations.

CHASSIS SUMMARY
WEAPON SLOT LOCATIONS
The Mad Cat MKII's capability to be optimized for any operation is nearly equal to the Daishi, and the big Cat demands respect wherever encountered. Already a ballistic heavy design, the Omni slots allow it to bring a massive punch to the battle. For missile operations, the Mad Cat 2 is able to flood an enemies defenses with LRM's and the Jump Jets give it access to superior fire support locations. An outstanding sniper or support unit as well as a capable close range brawler, this mech is a good choice for any pilot desiring a powerful, but balanced chassis.
Few weaknesses make this battlemech a tough customer. Probe the legs or rear torso for insufficient armor, as many pilots will attempt to save weight during configuration in order to maximize firepower. The arms carry a significant amount of the total offensive weaponry. However, they are not easily damaged and the Mad Cat 2 remains a formidable threat even with their loss. Missile racks are the most vulnerable part of the chassis, and should be targeted quickly if the configuration indicates a missile support function.
