Clan Wolf spearheaded this effort, and that Clan's fearsome 'Mechs terrorized their hapless opponents in the Free Rasalhague Republic (a minor Inner Sphere nation). The Timberwolf became Clan Wolf's iconic new 'Mech, and in the year 3049, four Clans assembled an invasion fleet and headed to the Inner Sphere to conquer Earth. And Clan Wolf wasn't in the mood to share it with the other Clans too easily, either.
It was difficult to find a single flaw in this incredible machine, aside from the fact that relatively few were being built. The Timberwolf went into production at a single factory in Clan space, and this machine dazzled its pilots and its enemies alike with its elegant combat performance, from its generous top speed and easy handling to its thick armor (for its size) and its hard-hitting weapons payload. It was a 75-ton 'Mech based on an older designed called the Woodsman, and this new Timberwolf would represent Clan Wolf's values of speed, cunning and predatory instincts, like a true canine predator. Clan Wolf had always been a power player among the competitive Clans, and by the year 2945, Clan Wolf's engineers were ready to build something truly special, named the Timberwolf. This machine was the brainchild of Clan Wolf, one of the fearsome warrior Clans existing far from the borders of the Inner Sphere's feuding nations.
