Variants:
Although the primary production lines for the Bakeneko found on Irece were destroyed, the
design schematics had already been transferred off world. Production was restarted some time
prior to the Dark Age, and the 3K model was implemented some time after that. This new model
altered the firepower of the design, dropping most of the energy based weapons for an
extended-range particle cannon and additional extended-range medium lasers. An extra three
tube multi-missile launcher was added to the center torso to replace the MASC system, but a
supercharger was added to ensure no ground mobility was lost. Although no additional
ammunition for the missile launchers was added, the two tons of munitions were consolidated
to a single torso position and advanced CASE storage protection systems were added to
protect the machine in the event of ammunition explosion. Additionally, a small active probe
was added to allow the machine to hunt for hidden units.
Once the 3K model was seen on the battlefield, some historians noted how it seemed to
resemble the ancient Gladiator BattleMech of centuries past, which have prompted some to
nickname the design in honor of this legacy.
