Description
From Linknet 3136: Sporting the same leg construction as the Mad Cat IV, the Vulture Mk IV seems to have made only minor design improvements. Most noticeable is the tilted hip/torso connection point, which is also placed behind a portion of the main body to shield this delicate area from frontal assaults. Another alteration places two small lasers in the center torso on a turret, which has been known to retract up into the body for protection when not in use. Other than that, this Vulture (also called a Mad Dog by Clan warriors) is fairly similar to its original ancestor.
Armament
Just like the MadCat Mk IV design, the Mad Dog Mk IV is similar to another model : Mad Dog alt. config. A. The main difference remains in the removal of two SRM 6 racks and the addition of two ER Small Pulse Lasers, allowing the new design to less rely on ammunition.
