    Catapult 'Butterbee' Hero 'Mech
    The Catapult will be receiving a new Hero variant: the Butterbee. Featuring a custom Hero Pattern and the standard 30% C-Bill Boost, the Butterbee comes equipped with 4 Missile Hardpoints and 4 Energy Hardpoints.


    Source: Roadmap for May, June & July 2016

    Finally the Catapult receives the hero mech everyone expected when the Jester was released as it was the only custom Catapult mentioned on Sarna:

    "Catapult CPLT-C1 Jenny "Butterbee" - The personal ride of MechWarrior Jenny Templeton, this variant of the Catapultreplaces the standard arm-mounted LRM-15s with a quartet of SRM-6 missile launchers, two in each arm."

    So like the Dragons the Catapult gets a second hero mech with the patch coming on June 21st, 2016. Depending on it's quirks I predict it will obsolete both the C1 and C4 because of the superior amount and type of hardpoints. Being able to be a SplatCat with noticeable laser backup it also might give the A1 a though run for it's money.

    Missile spewing CATs have been obsolete since I don't even remember when. This easily disarmed kitty will be no different. Of course, it being a CAT, I'll buy it,...

    Not sure about this. Something special like Arms B-HPs plus some torso E-HPs would have been interesting, E.g. 4B+2E for Chainsaw Massacre. But 4M+4E seriously?

    Let me guess - SRM Quirks?!
