    Hi Kenny, most of the mechs have two names and in this case, Timberwolf / Mad Cat.

    I’m not too entirely sure which designation to use so I just took what I could find in the PDF manual. From what I know, Timberwolf is the Clan desgination and Mad Cat the Inner Sphere codename for the same mech. Maybe it’s similiar to what NATO uses to identify ex-Soviet aircraft e.g MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum’ or Mi-24 ‘Hind’?

    Hi Deitrix, nope haven’t got a Xbox 360 in the first place. There’s going to be SEGA’s Armored Core : For Answer for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The rendered game intro’s really cool (see Gametrailers) but the actual graphics don’t look half as good.
