{{Mech Description
|Description=This fast-moving assault Mech is ferocious opponent at short and medium ranges. Designed by Clan Ghost Bear, it embodies their traditions of unrelenting force and savage infighting.
|Strengths=The Kodiak's abilities to gain access to high ground makes it an extremely effective support mech, and has sufficient slots to configure it for almost any mission. With good speed for a 100 ton chassis, and overall performance similar to a [[Mad Cat MKII]], it is capable of deploying a great deal of firepower to any area. The heavily armored center torso makes this mech extremely survivable, and as one of the few Assault mechs able to be configured with [[ECM]], it can deploy with stealth, striking enemies from unexpected locations. It makes an outstanding support mech, able to engage enemies at long range, but also painfully capable of defending itself should the need arise.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=Not particularly suited to close range brawls, the Kodiak represents a classic second line battlemech. Its top speed is impressive, but will require a total of 28 tons worth of engine upgrades to achieve this speed, greatly limiting its offensive potential. Most of its firepower is carried in the arms, and removing them reduces the Kodiak's combat effectiveness considerably. In nearly every category, the [[Daishi]] is the better choice due to its configuration flexibility. If [[Jump Jets]] are required, the 90 ton [[Highlander]], with significantly better performance and also capable of carrying [[ECM]], deserves serious consideration<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
