==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Tomahawk II''''' is an assault [[OmniMech]] first produced by [[Clan Wolf]] in [[3088]]. The ‘Mech is considered to be, for its time, the superior 'Mech when compared to other contemporaries within the ranks of the [[Inner Sphere]] and Inner Sphere [[Clan]]s.  The ''Tomahawk II'' was based on [[Tomahawk (OmniMech)|early prototypes]] developed during the [[Clan Invasion era]], which were produced in limited numbers.

The ''Tomahawk II'' was originally produced at the Wolves' W-7 Facilities on [[Weingarten]] until the late 3130s when the Clan undertook its migration to then [[Free Worlds League|Free Worlds League]] space. Production of the 'Mech would resume on [[Keystone]] at Earthwerks-FWL, Incorporated.<ref name=TRO:3145Cp52-121/>

One of the ''Tomahawk II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s most notable uses was during Clan Wolf's invasion of [[Tharkad]] in [[3143]]. [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]]'s Galaxy Commander [[Alaric Ward]]<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 27: Tharkad in the Crosshairs - Alaric Ward named as commander of the Beta Galaxy invading Tharkad in 3143</ref> utilized a [[Binary]] of ''Tomahawk II''s in order to demoralize Tharkad's Lyran defenders. He deployed this elite Binary of ''Tomahawk II''s to defeat elements of the [[2nd Royal Guards|Second Royal Guards]] at the [[Nagelring]] in July.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Tomahawk II'' is designed around the use of a DSAM Endo 10-Composite internal structure, which gives the design its cavernous pod capacity of 56 tons. The 'Mech is powered by a 300-Rated Starfire Extra-Light Fusion Engine, giving it a maximum speed of 54 km/h. Protecting the engine and the ''Tomahawk II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other vitals is 19 tons of Advanced/3 [[standard armor]], providing nearly maximum protection against enemy fire.

The 'Mech's Primary Configuration is fitted with a pair of Class 30 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles, one mounted in each of the arm actuators. Protected by [[CASE II]], both weapons have a combined eight tons of ammunition split between them, giving each weapon 16 rounds of fire. Backing up the main guns are three long-reaching extended-range large lasers, with one found in each of the ''Tomahawk II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arms and one in the head. A pair of medium pulse lasers rounds out the 'Mech's weaponry, giving it additional firepower at close-in ranges. Five additional double heat sinks are fitted in the OmniPod bays to help the 'Mech cope with the weapons' great heat buildup.<ref name=TRO:3145Cp52-121/>

==Alternate Configurations==
 
==Alternate Configurations==
*;Alternate Configuration A : Designed around the accurate LB-X autocannon and pulse laser technologies, this configuration is quite ideal when used at close range against enemies, as well as for anti-aircraft purposes. The configuration's main weapons are found in the arm actuators, each arm sports a single [[LB 10-X autocannon]] and a pair of [[AP Gauss rifles]]. While the autocannons' two tons worth of ammunition is stored in the arms under the protection of CASE II, the AP rifles' ammunition can be found in each of the side torsos. The aforementioned pulse laser weaponry includes a pair of side torso-mounted [[Large Pulse Lasers|large]] and medium pulse lasers, and a single ER large laser is allocated to the A Configuration's head. There are seven double heat sinks, in addition to the twelve base-model heat sinks, fitted into this configuration.

*;Alternate Configuration B : Suggested for use in urban combat, the B Configuration comes with a large array of energy and missile weapon systems. This configuration's long-range firepower comes from a pair of arm-mounted [[Streak LRM-15]] launchers and a pair of long-range, torso-mounted ER large lasers. For closer ranges, the 'Mech makes use of an [[ER large pulse laser]] in each of the arms, and a single [[ER medium laser]] in the torso. To help this configuration of the ''Tomahawk II'' cope with urban settings, the 'Mech sports three [[jump jets]], while ten additional double heat sinks try to help with the heat management. A single head-mounted [[laser anti-missile system]] is fitted in the head to fight off enemy missiles.

*;Alternate Configuration C : Intended for the fire support role, the C Configuration carries a number of missile batteries and pulse laser technologies to play its role, while also providing a means of self-defense. The C Configuration sports six [[LRM-15]] launchers - one in each arm and two allocated to each side torso. The 'Mech's missile ammunition is found in the arms, with five tons worth of LRM munitions protected by CASE II. Backing up the 'Mech at closer ranges are three large pulse lasers, one mounted in each of the 'Mech's torsos. Six additional double heat sinks are provided to help manage the tremendous heat levels generated.
