==Description==<br />
The '''''Amarok''''' is a unique assault 'Mech among the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Clan Wolf ''touman'']], intended as a close combat 'Mech. It was built and conceived under [[Ramiel Bekker]]'s idea of combating the [[Death From Above]] (or DFA for short) tactics being employed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. However, lacking time he had to seek assistance from [[Clan Sea Fox]] as he did with the [[Stormwolf]]. It was during his time with Clan Sea Fox that he started to investigate the ''[[Hammerhead (BattleMech)|Hammerhead]]'', a new Sea Fox 'Mech, and from that 'Mech he borrowed design choices that would later be a part of the ''Amarok''. For example, the use of [[Hardened Armor]] for better protection and modified hand actuators for use in close combat. <ref name=rg17p9>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p.9 </ref><br />
<br />
With the ''Amarok'' being focused on combating DFA tactics, a program was initially installed which was intended to assist with dealing with such an attack. The main idea was taken from both data collection on [[Solaris VII]] and the layout of the ''Hammerhead'', in order to make a program that would force the 'Mech to lock its arms above the cockpit. This ultimately failed, and pilots of the 'Mech would soon disable this program, it eventually being omitted in further production runs. <ref name=rg17p9/><br />

==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The primary model carries all of its weapons in the torso, while the other variants have their weapons in the head and arms. It is equipped with twenty and a half tons of [[Hardened Armor]] for better protection and a [[Supercharger]] to increase the speed of the 'Mech. The main long-range weapon is an [[ER PPC]] with a [[PPC Capacitor]] in the right torso for fighting off incoming 'Mechs intending to carry out a DFA attack, backed up by a [[Rotary AC/5|rotary AC/5]] in the left torso and a [[Large Pulse Laser|large pulse laser]] in the center torso. Finally, the 'Mech carries two [[Streak SRM-6|Streak SRM-6s]] in the right torso for engaging targets at close range.<ref name=rg17p9/><ref name=rg17p39>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p. 39</ref><ref name=rg17p40>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 17'', p. 40</ref><ref name=”IC18”>''ilClan'', p. 152</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;Amarok 2 : This variant strips out all armaments for different weapons and adds [[MASC]] to increase its mobility. The right torso carries a [[Streak LRM-20]] with two tons of ammo, along with an [[Improved Heavy Large Laser]]. The PPC is replaced by two [[AP Gauss Rifle|AP gauss rifles]] with one ton of ammo between them. Finally, a trio of [[ER Medium Lasers|ER Medium Lasers]] are carried, one in in each arm and one in the head, and both the lasers and ammo are protected by [[CASE II]]. BV (2.0) = 3,351<ref name=rg17p39/><br />
<br />
*;Amarok 3 : This Mixed Tech variant focuses on combating DFA tactics. Spikes are added along with nine and a half additional tons of Hardened Armor to better protect the ''Amarok'' from 'Mechs attempting to conduct such an attack. The PPC is replaced with an [[LRM 20]] with [[Artemis V]] and the RAC is replaced with a [[Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 20]], both with two tons of ammo and protected by [[CASE II]]. Seven [[Small Pulse Laser|small pulse lasers]] are added, three in each arm and one in the center torso, intended for inflicting disruptive damage on oncoming enemies.
