======================================================================================
Overview:
    Screw you guys! I'm a pot plant!

Capabilities:
    Really, I have no idea what were the creators of TRO 3145 thinking, but whatever
    they attempted to do with Wulfen, it can be done cheaper and better. Here is a
    concept design to prove that.
    
    Okay, now I regret not going for less armour so that I had to remove the
    supercharger. Well, no. I never liked that thing. I woudl have went for the DHS so
    I could snipe with the ERLL nonstop or to run and gun a bit longer.

Deployment:
    Any place you'd like to see people making "What the hell was I thinking when I
    purchased the original Wulfen?" face.

Variants:
    Well, there's still that XXL piece of TRO 3145 ingenuity if you really need it.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Common Sense
    A stealthy mercenary warrior, who has been continually chased to the Periphery
    because of his crimes against invention and military budget spendings.

Not a fan of this variant at all. I am thinking the ECM needs to go for at least one more JJ.

I've reworked the chassis in the end, but ECM is fixed and required for Stealth to work properly.

Then it needs to drop the jets entirely. I have never been a fan of giving a Mech less than full jump capacity, especially if one is going to fall just short of adding a modifier. This machine needs to be able to hit at least 7 jumping, else 95%+ it is going to have better modifiers running since it has 15 MP available.

I don't think that the jets are there to hog modifiers. As I looked at the original configuration's heat profile it could stay put and fire the laser with stealth on. Or jump with stealth on without overheat. Thus it was probably meant as a sniper that shoots it's laser from a sniping nest untill the spot becomes too hot and then it uses fast legs to get to another. JJs simply allow you to reach some sweet spots otherwise unavailable, but that's about it.
