Editing Warhawk (section)

==Overview==
The Warhawk was originally designed in 2999 by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] ([[Lulz|<s>ironic</s> fitting that the 'Mech called the Warhawk was made by the clan of war hawks]]) in anticipation of the return to the Inner Sphere, its schematics a jealously guarded secret. Well, until the [[Star League#The Second Star League|Second Star League]] [[Exterminatus|wiped the original Jaguars off the map in an informal Annihilation that left few survivors]]. Nevertheless, even before the original Smoke Jaguars were extinguished as an independent Clan power, the inherent internal conflict of the Clans meant Warhawks got passed around via battle salvage and Trials of Possession to several other clans, such as [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and Clan Ghost Bear (now the [[Free Rasalhague Republic|Rasalhague Dominion]]).

During the actual Clan Invasion, the Warhawk would often be paired with the [[Dire Wolf (BattleTech)|Dire Wolves]] the Jaguars had [[Blood Ravens|"acquired"]] from [[Clan Wolf]]. The "Masakari" moniker was given to it by the [[Draconis Combine]] (like the "Daishi" moniker was for the Dire Wolf), and since they're [[Weeaboo]]s of course it's a type of Japanese axe.

Ironically, the Warhawk became [[LosTech]] in the Inner Sphere due to the [[Word of Blake]]'s douchebaggery cutting off the Invading Clans from the Homeworlds even more than the Wars of Reaving had. Guess the Clannerscum now know what it's like to lose tech to petty conflict, huh? However, the design would be revived outside of the Clan Homeworlds by the [[Scorpion Empire]] repurposing factories on Antwerp to produce it once more.

For technical specs, the 85-ton 'Mech itself is based on a Huntress WH frame powered by a 340 XL engine, giving it a top speed of 64.8 km/h despite its 13.5 tons of Forging X85 ferro-fibrous armor. For heat management, it carries twenty Double Heat Sinks - mainly because many of its configs produce a fuckton of waste heat that'd make the thing an oven otherwise. The infamous Targeting Computer is also standard, which is what gives the Warhawk (especially the Prime configuration) its reputation as the aimbot 'Mech.

It also has the Design Quirk of Improved Targeting (Long), which certainly doesn't dissuade its association with campers scoring cheap kills with aim assist.
