Description[]
The Thunderbolt started production in 2491 as an assault 'Mech. Since that time the 'Mech's classification may have changed but it is still feared and respected by many. With the Thunderbolt's varied arsenal, it is capable of serving in many roles. As is common for 'Mechs of its size in the era it was produced, the stock variant Thunderbolt has a maximum ground speed of 64.8 kph and does not have any jump capabilities. For protection, the Thunderbolt also carries thirteen tons of armor.
