Editing Clan Smoke Jaguar (section)

=== Notable Mechs ===

* '''''Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron-Born)''''' - The Clan at one point needed a hard upgrade on their aging ''Hellbringer'' Omnimechs, and their scientists drummed up this monstrosity of an OmniMech: it ended up being tough as two-dollar steak and twice as deadly. The Inner Sphere name of "Cauldron-Born" was a direct reference to the nearly impossible to kill irish zombies of yore. Believe it or not, they're actually more known as ''Cauldron-Born'' rather than ''Ebon Jaguars'' because of their secretive development; the other Clans only learned about it's existence after it's first battles, and have been proliferating that name more than it's intended one. The ''Ebon Jaguar'' is a long-range punisher in it's base configuration, with every further config being just more and more unpleasant with each passing moment.
* '''''Iron Cheetah''''' - While not actually a "Totem Mech" as the Clans would come to call them, the ''Iron Cheetah'' is instead a testament to both the ferociousness of Smoke Jaguar society and also a great example of why they absolutely couldn't be trusted with anything more complicated than warfare. the ''Iron Cheetah'' is Smoke Jaguar's last gasp of relevance before their annihilation during the Wars of Refusal. Their intent was to create a faster version of the massive but plodding ''Dire Wolf'', that would be able to lead assaults while also acting as a suitable transport for Elementals. They succeeded, creating a brutal 100 ton sniper mech with the speed of an Inner Sphere heavy mech and no slouch on armor. Aesthetically, the mech is a ''Dire Wolf'' with a head more like the ''Timber Wolf'''s. Fortunately for the rest of the galaxy, only a small number of these expensive behemoths were produced before the Clan's fall.
* '''''Stone Rhino (Behemoth)''''' - The Smoke Jaguars' final "fuck you" to the late Rim Worlds Republic, by succeeding where Amaris failed and making a functional weapon of death out of the failed ''Matar'' superheavy. While it's slow as hell, its two Gauss Rifles will shred anything in their range. Also, unlike Amaris' Folly, the Stone Rhino's legs are fully functional and even have Jump Jets.
* '''''[[Warhawk|Warhawk (Masakari)]]''''' - The evil twin brother of the ''Timber Wolf'', the Warhawk was well-known for cleaving through the Draconis Combine during the Clan Invasion faster than the axe it was known for. It's gutpunch of being able to volley fire four PPCs without immediately melting down made it such a powerful 'Mech that Smoke Jaguar was very loathe to part with any of them. In a bizarre twist for OmniMechs, it's base configuration was actually the most specialized; most of the other configs are generalist patterns that trade out the PPCs for something else.
