About this creation
A MadCat Battlemech from the Mechwarrior universe. This is my first attempt at building a mech so I have had a great deal of fun nutting out scale, weight & ballance.

The MOC is modular, it easily comes apart into the following sections - 2 missile pods, the torso frame, cockpit & leg module. Each of the arms & legs can also be easily removed.

I should note that 'mechs are able to be extensively modified in the Battletech universe, as a result my configuration differs somewhat from a standard variant.

This particular 'mech is piloted by the Wolf Dragoons Major, D. Lemma.

This MOC was featured on The Brothers Brick

Awesome work on this Madcat. Great detail. Mine's about 1/2 the size of yours here. And I'm also ROFLcoptering at Phippy's comment below =P

I'm going to be a pedantic nerd for a moment. With its boxy torso, the two guns mounted on either side of, above and behind the cockpit, and the two front toes pointing straight, this is definitely a Rakshasa, not a Mad Cat. A Mad Cat would have the side torso guns mounted below the cockpit, a rounded torso and the toes would point at 45 degree angles, and the lower legs would extend past the knee joint. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Image:3055u_Rakshasa.jpg vs http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Image:MadCat_2.jpeg It's still friggin awesome cause I love the Rakshasa.

Alright everyone, sing along (you'll know the tune after you read it once)... LRM's, PPC's and a Gauss rifle. Modular weapons are what make me smile. Crush inner sphere infantry, hearing their screams. These are a few of my favorite things. ~ Chris.

Wow, I've always been a fan of mechwarrior and I've never seen someone build a mech so large, it's inspiring.

This is very true to the original, with two exceptions: the cockpit (it's virtually impossible to make a good Madcat or Catapult cockpit without some of those old Aquanauts cockpits) and, as you have already mentioned, the weapons config. Good job. If I didn't have brickcommander.com for instructions, I'd never be able to build a better version myself.

Some details are off, but making it modular is just brilliant! I hope you could refine it a bit more, but don't change the scale.

This is excellent. I can really see how much work you put into this! I always wanted to make one of these when I was a kid. The cockpit is money, and the PPC cannons are excellent too. This is a really nice model. Keep up the good work!

The upwards 3/4 shot from the front is pure money. Great proportion with the limbs, legs look scwhweet! Cheers! ~ Paul.

Perfectly detailled. really nice linear structure too. Must have taken ages. Battletech has found its home in lego. Ace job!!
