Since the Streak LRM requires line of sight to lock on to a target it also lost the ability to make indirect fire attacks. The Streak LRM cannot make use of any alternate ammunition types or enhanced guidance systems. Though successful, the Streak LRM launcher weighs twice as much as the standard Clan LRM launcher (as much as a standard Inner Sphere launcher). The Streak LRM combines the orignial Streak's ammunition conservation with LRM range. The Streak LRM 15 marries the Streak guidance system with a standard LRM-15 launcher. The PPC was augmented by two streak LRM-15 launchers, supplied with three tons of Streak missile reloads. While more powerful than the Star League version, it delivers 33% more hitting power of the weapon that would become the Clan standard in later years. An enhanced ER PPC used by Clan Wolverine was incorporated into the Smilodon. This is due to the Smilodon's command responsibilities being split between a dedicated pilot and gunner.ДЄs a command 'Mech, the Smilodon's weapons focused on long range combat. The Torso-Mounted Cockpit with an integral rumble seat used in the Superheavy Omni designs allows the 'Mech to act as a command unit and be able to target multiple enemies with less of a penalty. Its hull is protected by 21 tons of Maximillian 320 standard armor, allowing it to absorb an immense amount of damage before succumbing to enemy fire.

Faster than many in its size class, its powerful PlasmaStar 500-rated Extra-Extralight Engine and sturdy construction allows the 'Mech to move and to carry ponderous amount of weaponry. Commonly known as a Superheavy Omni or because of its immense size as 'Colossal', the Smilodons method of motion gains advantage over more commonly used ones, allowing it to change direction without losing speed. The Smilodon represented the first truly viable superheavy BattleMech design to appear on the battlefield. Originally based loosely on the Orca Superheavy BattleMech, the Smilodon was first of its kind to successfully use two legs instead of the commonly found tripod and quad designs. Wrapped in twenty-one tons of armor and with the arms and torso areas protected by CASE, each Smilodon was a rugged machine capable of weathering huge amounts of fire, and the combination of weapons made it capable of acting as a lethal defense unit and even as a serviceable anti-aircraft platform. The weight and nature of the Smilodon as a superheavy design demanded the use of a Heavy Duty Gyro, but even with the added weight from the enhanced gyro the Smilodon featured a spacious frame for fitting weapons and equipment into, and each Smilodon boasted an Improved TitanвЂ™s Vantage Mk II Computer. The resulting internal structure was far larger than would be viable for any conventional BattleMech, but in the case of the Smilodon, resulted in a working superheavy design that stood 10 meters taller than the 100-ton Atlas, from which the designers had evidently taken a number of cues.Д«ut other than the unusual internal structure, myomers and actuators, featured relatively mundane armor, cockpit and weapon systems. Featuring a skeleton larger and bulkier than any seen before, oversized actuators and a new myomer system that involved both larger fibre bundles than standard and the use of hybrid myomers, the Rift Tigers were able to overcome a number of flaws discovered by those who had explored the Superheavy 'Mech concept in the past. The bulk of these 'Mechs were deployed in and around the Federated Suns Spinward Combat Theater Sabanillas Operations Area used for Field Marshal Xavier Steele's final stand, but some Smilodon also saw service around Anti-Spinward Combat Theater Hoyleton Operations Area and in the Woodbine PDZ.ДЄlthough the concept of a superheavy 'Mech had already been explored by the Terran Hegemony centuries before, it wasn't until Clan Rift Tiger overcame the problems associated with such a massive design that the Smilodon became viable.

The engagements helped to work out the development problems in the 'Mech, leading to the S1 design.ДЄlthough the Smilodon was a prototype, almost thirty of the huge 'Mechs were produced by Pentagon. The Smilodon's prototypes were able to engage rebel forces at the Capital City's Governmental House steps of Broken Wheel in Austin and fend them off. Two of the initial prototypes of the Smilodon saw combat during the Outback Rebellion in 3088 on Broken Wheel. Within this document the Smilodon is classified as a 'Dreadnought' 'Mechs massing above 100 tons are otherwise known as Colossal or Superheavy 'Mechs.
