There is also the 'Butterbee', or 'splatapult' style variant, which replaces the LRM's with 4 SRM 6's, relying on the Catapult's reputation as a fire support platform for a nasty short range surprise.

Though effective against smaller 'Mechs that make likely candidates to actually fight a Catapult (scout 'Mechs), against models of its own size (65 tons) it would only delay the inevitable.
