A disabled Hellcat. (Robotech II: The Sentinels)
The Hellcat, or Cougar, was a species of automated Invid Inorganic drones that were sent to Tirol.
While the Cougar resemble the prehistoric Saber-toothed Cat of Earth in physical features, the comparison ends there. This is a purely mechanical beast which requires neither food nor oxygen for life.
Technology and Combat Characteristics[]
The Cougar can track its prey by several means. It can sense the target by smell, sight, audio signals, and primarily, Protoculture tracings. It features excellent nightvision with a range of 2000 feet.
There are no weapons on the Cougar. It relies on biting, clawing, and slashing with its extended tail. Even without the aid of lasers or cannons, the Cougar is still a formidable and dangerous opponent due to its dexterity, speed, and ferocious attack programming.
On flat land, the Cougar can run 160 mph and leap up to 80' in distance. Even in water the Cougar is mobile and can swim 40 mph. Although it can operate in space, the Cougar has neither jet or rocket propulsion systems, so it would not be able to travel.
