|Related Mechs=*''[[Linebacker]]'' - The ''Linebacker'' was designed as an eventual replacement to the ''Timber Wolf''. The ''Linebacker'' boasts a single improvement over the venerable ''Timber Wolf'', a higher walking and running speed, allowing the ''Linebacker'' to keep pace with lighter, faster OmniMechs. Otherwise, the ''Linebacker'' mounts less armor and ten tons less pod space.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055'', p. 138</ref> | |Related Mechs=*''[[Linebacker]]'' - The ''Linebacker'' was designed as an eventual replacement to the ''Timber Wolf''.

The Timber Wolf was first introduced in 2945. The Timber Wolf, along with the Gargoyle and the Naga, were designed by Clan Wolf as second generation OmniMechs replacements for the aging Woodsman. While the Gargoyle may have been a very capable, fast assault OmniMech, and the Naga may have been an excellent fire-support OmniMech, Clan Wolf (and indeed every other Clan) instantly realized the value of the Timber Wolf; thus, production rights to the Timber Wolf were jealously (and successfully) defended. Only through trade, gifts and battlefield salvage has the Timber Wolf entered the armies of other Clans. Until the invasion of the Inner Sphere, production of the Timber Wolf has been limited to a single facility on Strana Mechty.<ref>[http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Technical_Readout:_3050 Technical Readout: 3050]</ref> | The Timber Wolf was first introduced in 2945.
