-The famous '''''"Beat Stick"''''' is one of toughest Mk II units to deal against. Wielding a formidable array of half a dozen (6!) [[CLBX5]]es, it has enough firepower to lay waste on any unit within 800 meters even in a single salvo. In addition the A variant also mounts four [[cERSL|ER Small Lasers]] to exploit any breaches from close up with pinpoint accuracy. This unit also sports an extra 1.5 tons of [[armor]]. While the unit is not equipped with spare ammo or any electronic counter measures they might not be missed much with the ideal roles this unit can excel at - a jump sniper, a skirmisher, it also has excellent ambush potential with the Assault class Improved [[Jump Jets]] allowing it to scale the most arduous obstacles.

-Still the units greatest advantage might not be as obvious on paper - it's dreaded array of Luballin Bore Autocanons is distributed over it's arms and torsos effectively making any hasted attempts to quickly disarm it futile and likely to fail - any single section rendered ineffective won't decrease the impeding salvo for any more but a third even if that.<br>

-The famous '''''"Beat Stick"''''' is one of best close-range units available. Wielding a pair of [[CLBX20]]s, it has enough firepower to heavily damage any unit below 300 meters in a single salvo. In addition to these two massive guns, the A variant also mounts four [[cERSL|ER Small Lasers]], [[ATM|HE ATM]] launchers, and an extra 1.5 tons of [[armor]]. All weapons combined, the MkII A variant is capable of unleashing crippling damage. However, this Mech is slower than most Mechs of lower weight, which makes closing with a target a difficult task. It's also not equipped with any electronic equipment, nor does it allow for additional ammunition, making the A variant highly dependent on teammates for both target information and ammunition. The inclusion of Improved [[Jump Jets]], however, significantly enhances mobility, especially in urban environments.

+Known as the '''''"Siege Engine"''''', this behemoth will inflict massive damage up close. Group the four [[RAC5]]s and four [[MG]]s together to quickly tear through even the toughest opponents. Watch for counter fire that causes screenshake, it'll throw off your aim and spread your damage. The pair of [[ATM3]]s can be used as an opening salvo before closing into effective range (under 300m) for your [[RAC]]s. Though setting your radar to [[Radar#Passive_Radar|passive]] mode to help stay undetected while closing distance can be a massive payoff. The combined [[RAC]]s and [[MG]]s usually make quick work of [[Battle Armor]] but a [[B-Pod]] is provided to finish them off. The lack of Jump Jets means the MKII E is not nearly as mobile as most other MkII variants. Its arm mounted [[RAC]]s are prime targets to be shot off. Good positioning and team play is key for making this variant shine.

 Known as the '''''"Siege Engine"''''', this behemoth can inflict heavy damage from around 800 meters. The four [[CUAC5]]s can pick apart any component a pilot sets their eyes on. A pair of ATM9s provides considerable damage at intermediate and medium ranges. However, the [[minimum range]] of these systems should be noted as anything inside that range will reduce this variant's maximum effectiveness. For enemies that close this range, four Machine Guns offer protection from [[Battle Armor]], along with its [[B-Pod]], or to finish off your opponent, putting them out of their misery. Though the lack of Jump Jets means the MkII E is not nearly as mobile as most other MkII variants, its four tons of extra ammunition allow it significant battlefield endurance.

-The Mad Cat MkII Prime is one of the most versatile and deadly Assault Mechs available to the Clans. Its Primary weapons are a pair of [[CGauss]], able to strike out to 900 meters with precision and devastating firepower. Backing up this lethal pair are two [[CLRM10]], solidifying this Mech as a long-range skirmishing tool. It is, however, also fitted with two [[CERML]] and two [[CERSL]], giving it teeth for close range and some capability once out of ammo. Take advantage of this variant's speed and [[Jump Jets]] to strike from unexpected directions, and keep your foes at arms reach if possible. When facing one, it is likely to be in a sniping position far from the front, so sneaking up on one is the most successful strategy. Its primary firepower is in the arms, so if in doubt, remove its guns! Unlike the Canon variant, it also packs 2 spare tons of ammo to provide some endurance on the field.

 Geared for long-range strikes, the MkII G can be a heavy hitter when its guns come into play. These guns include a twin [[HAG20 | Hyper-Assault Gauss 20]], and a pair of [[CLRM10|Clan LRM10]]s. The twin [[HAG20]]s are especially lethal when used in precision strikes, as the combination can easily shred through individual components on most light  and medium assets. The two LRM10s offer long-range striking power, and can even be used in brawling at closer ranges due to the Clan LRMs having almost no [[minimum range]].
-The inclusion of [[JJ | Jump Jets]] and an 4 [[Free tons | extra tons]] for ammunition - idealy for the [[HAG20]] - offer this variant some degree of maneuverability and endurance. Despite the high amounts of damage the MkII G can dish out at long range, its greatest weakness is the insufficient amount of [[DHS]] when G gets into a brawl, since 2 [[cHML]]s and 2 [[cHSL]]s generates a lot of heat.
