The inability of the Mad Cat heavy OmniMech to keep up with the rest of its Star mates in running battles was of such concern to Clan Wolf's leaders that they ordered their technicians to develop a new design to supplement and eventually replace it. The Linebacker, so named because its unusual hunched-over torso is reminiscent of the hulking players of ancient North American-rules football, was the result of their efforts. The Linebacker is currently in service with the warriors of Clan Wolf's Gamma Galaxy. Once the final test results and operating data on the Linebacker are collected, it is expected to become the Clans' standard-issue heavy OmniMech.
