Conceived as a part of Clan Wolf's movement to replace their old signature ''[[Timber Wolf]]'', the ''Warwolf'' was designed to be a flexible cavalry unit. The design was first developed prior to the Clan's movement from their [[Occupation Zone]] to the Marik/Lyran border.  The 'Mech would be placed into production at Kallon Weapon Industries facilities on the former Free Worlds League world of [[Thermopolis]]. However, by [[3145]] it was only being produced in limited numbers due to limitations of the Inner Sphere manufacturer.

Since its introduction into service by Clan Wolf, the ''Warwolf'' was awarded to ''[[ristar]]''s or individuals favored by [[Khan]] [[Alaric Ward]]. The 'Mech has seen action during the invasions of [[Tharkad]] in [[3143]] and later [[Hesperus II]] in [[3145]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 23, 25: Timeline of Events - Invasions of two Lyran Commonwealth worlds by Clan Wolf.</ref><ref name="TR3145TheClans:46,107"/>

The Clan's scientist’s tried to blend attributes of the ''Timber Wolf'' with the [[Technology Rating|latest technology]] of the time. Powered by the ''Timber Wolf's'' Starfire 375-rated [[XL engine|Extra-Light Fusion Engine]], the ''Warwolf'' shares its predecessor's flexible speed.  Using the weight savings of the XL Engine and the strength of its [[endo-steel]] construction, the ''Warwolf'' is able to carry 30 tons worth of [[OmniPod]] weapons and equipment.  The 'Mech is protected by 14.5 tons of Clan grade [[Reactive Armor|reactive armor]], giving the ''Warwolf'' the ability to ward off explosive type weaponry while retaining the strength of [[standard armor]]. In addition to the ''Warwolf''&#39;s armor, the 'Mech uses a [[Laser Anti-Missile System|Laser-based Anti-Missile System]] to help fight off incoming missile attacks.

The ''Warwolf''&#39;s Prime Configuration sports a single [[Gauss rifle]], and two [[LRM-10|LRM-10s]]. A [[Clan]] [[Targeting Computer]] makes the [[Gauss rifle]] extremely accurate to the point where skilled pilots can specifically target certain parts of any 'Mech at unbelievable ranges. Each of the 'Mech's 1-ton missile bins are fitted with [[CASE II]], reducing the explosive damage from a critical hit.  The Prime also sports [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and three [[Jump Jets]] for added tactical flexibility.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', pp. 46–47, 107: Warwolf - Stats</ref>

*;Alternate Configuration A :  Geared toward longevity on the battlefield, the A Configuration weaponry focuses mainly on energy weaponry and highly accurate missile systems. The A's long-range weaponry include an [[ER PPC]], [[ER Large Laser]], and [[Streak LRM-10]] with a ton of [[CASE II]] protected ammunition. For intermediate and close range fighting, the 'Mech has [[ER Medium Laser|ER]] and [[Medium Pulse Laser|Pulse type Medium]] Grade Lasers and a single [[Streak 6|Streak SRM-6 Launcher]] with a ton of ammunition protected by [[CASE II]]. Four additional Double Heat Sinks are fitted to help the pilot cope with heat buildup.

*;Alternate Configuration B : An intermediate fighter, the B Configuration has a limited number of weapons, while sporting five Jump Jets.  Its main gun is an [[Ultra AC/10|Ultra Class 10 Autocannon]] with three tons of ammunition, all mounted in the 'Mech's right arm. The 'Mech's only offensive energy weapon is an [[ER Large Pulse Laser]], while a head-mounted [[LAMS]] provides defense against incoming missiles.

* The ''Warwolf'' was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Wolf Strike expansion set. The figure was only used for the CGC game's Unique figures. The 'Mech was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].

* This design became famous among [[Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction]] players when one of future tournament prizes, "Vindication" ''Warwolf'', was officially unreleased. But soon, some firm new exemplars popped up among players, and so the ''Warwolf'' was soon remembered as the "forgotten tournament-prize" design, still unplayable in tournament (the same phenomenon appeared with the well-known "Deception" ''[[Incubus]]'').{{cn}}
