What's the name of this Battletech mech?

I bought this model through an eBay auction, but it was only listed as a loose Battletech mech miniature:



I'd appreciate it if someone who's more Battletech savy than I am could ID it for me.

I think its a cataphract of the top of my head

or a Cesar

Looks like Stormwolf's head top is working well.

Yep, I was just searching "Cataphract" on camospecs.com, and we have a winner. Thanks!

I haven't played the game in over a decade (probably closer to two) and Cataphract leapt into my head after seeing that model.  I've ONLY ever seen it in the line art in the tech manual that introduced the clans and their omnimechs, never in the metal, so to speak.

Yep, instantly recognizable.  Actually historically a mech put together from random bits and pieces of other mechs right?

The Cataphract is a heavy BattleMech and one of the first original designs since the start of the Succession Wars, though it had inauspicious beginnings. Desperate for a heavy 'Mech design that their ailing infrastructure could sustainably produce and maintain, the Capellan Confederation designed the Cataphract to be assembled from parts they could still manufacture. Dubbed a FrankenMech for its appearance,[4] and using components from the Marauder, Shadow Hawk and Phoenix Hawk,[5] the Cataphract was set to become the Confederation's new standard heavy 'Mech.
