::Second, the ''Timber Wolf'' is certainly related to the ''Gargoyle'' and the ''Naga''.  Consider, if all three are descended from the ''Woodsman'', then this relationship is analogous to children of a single parent.  All three designs should be considered as kin, each optimized for specific battlefield roles.

::Lastly, full agree with [[user:Citizen Erased|Citizen Erased]], a 'Mech designed to replace or mimic should also be included.  Bearing the same mix of weaponry as the ''Timber Wolf'' prime, the ''Rakshasa'' tries to fill the same battlefield role.  Further, the designers looked at the 'Mech and said, "let's make our look similar".  Even though the chassises come from distinctly different origins, these designs are converging towards the same ideas.  The same argument applies for the ''Linebacker'', except that in this case, the designers had been sitting on the technical schematics for the inspiration for over 100 years.  The biggest distinction is size and speed - even the weapons configurations of the ''Linebacker'' are intended to mimic those of the ''Timber Wolf'' (''L'',''T'': prime,A/A,prime/B,B/C,C).--[[User:S.gage|S.gage]] 02:56, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

::: Well said. Yes, the term "based on" was misused by myself. Like S.gage said, it was designed to replace the Timber Wolf. Its a fast heavy mech with configurations loosely based on the TWs. Personally, I always thought the problem with the Linebacker was that when CW was rolling the FRR, they were fighting 3025 mechs. Light omnis could take out 3025 heavy mechs, so certainly it made sense for CW to make heavy mechs that could keep up with their lights : The FRR couldn't outfight them anyway. That changed as the tech level of the IS increased and CW spent more time fighting other clans than it did the I.S. Just my 2 cents.
