BATTLETECH: The Mad Dog / Vulture

During the #ClanInvasion there were a multitude of powerful #Omnimechs utilized by the forces that claimed to be the descendants of the #SLDF, the ones who had followed #Kerensky into the dark expanse rather than involve themselves in the #SuccessionWars.

But of these, there was a #Clan, namely, #ClanSmokeJaguar / #SmokeJaguar who would create an abomination so ruthless and powerful, that the rest of the warrior driven states around it would immediately move to adopt it.

That, is the #Vulture, or the #MadDog, one of the greatest of the initial Clan #Battlemechs that was observed during their initial attack. In this video, we are going to talk about it. What happened with the Vulture, the Clans that operated it, and some of the events that took place around it, or events which impacted those who made it.

In #Battletech or #Mechwarrior, this is a fierce machine.
