Description

This was the original Thunderbolt design produced in 2491 by Earthwerks Limited, built with Primitive Technology, until the introduction of the modern TDR-5S in 2505. It carries the exact same weapon loadout as the later TDR-5S however, making it still quite threatening.

Description

One of the earliest 'Mech designs ever made, the Thunderbolt accompanied the Sanctuary Worlds on their great journey beyond the Inner Sphere where it became a mainstay of their armies. Meant for combat engineering, the TDR-3E increases the mech's speed with a 325-rated XL engine. It uses this speed to deploy its DXR and twin Bombard Cannon/6s against any enemy. For point-blank, it can call upon a trio of Medium Electro-Lasers while 4 jump jets keep it mobile. 4 tons of ammunition provide the Bombards with plenty of options in combat.

Description

One of the earliest 'Mech designs ever made, the Thunderbolt accompanied the Sanctuary Worlds on their great journey beyond the Inner Sphere where it became a mainstay of their armies. The TDR-3N was designed for durability and endurance above all else. Using a standard fusion engine combined with Ferro-Vanadium armor and Endo-Carbide structure combined with 3 tons of Modular Plating ensures the -3N can endure just about anything. A NPC and Large Electro-Laser provide primary firepower for the mech while an APM-4 with two tons of ammo provides a little battlefield control. Finally, four Jump Jets give the -3N unexpected mobility.

Description

One of the earliest 'Mech designs ever made, the Thunderbolt accompanied the Sanctuary Worlds on their great journey beyond the Inner Sphere where it became a mainstay of their armies. Designed as a true generalist, the Thunderbolt excels at nothing but is good for anything. Armed with a Large Electro-Laser for primary firepower as well as a VRM-12, DRM-4, trio of Medium Electro-Lasers, and a Gatling Gun, the Thunderbolt has a weapon for all ranges and all missions. 15 DHS keep it relatively cool while SHIELD protects the ammunition and 14 tons of armor keep it durable.

Description

The Thunderbolt, despite its generalist origins, often found itself forced into specialized roles during its service in the Sanctuary armies. Such was the case with the TDR-4S, a variant that specialized it for ranged combat. Utilizing a massive Gamma Cannon and a powerful VRM-18 rack, the -4S can destroy anything at range. However, at close-range it has only twin Small Lances and a Small Modal Laser for defense. The designers considered this though and included a Supercharger in the design to help it keep its distance from enemies 13 DHS try mightily to keep it all cold.

A Davion variant on the Thunderbolt, the TDR-5D is ready for close in combat, armed with an AC20 and two tons of ammunition to keep it firing throughout most confrontations. Meanwhile its LRM15 allows it to provide a support role when needed, or to provide assistance to lancemates via indirect fire.

Description

Developed by the Capellan Confederation during the First Succession War as technologies began to degrade, the TDR-5L bears many similarities to the Royal Thunderbolt, the -5Sb. However, as the ER PPC became LosTech, it was replaced with an ER Large Laser. Otherwise, the -5L is very similar to that older model, including the Small Pulse Lasers, Medium Lasers, LRM-15, Streak SRM-2, and, most importantly, the Double Heat Sinks. Though the -5L would itself be replaced by the -5LS later, scattered examples remained in the CCAF for centuries to come.

Description

As the Succession Wars dragged on, the Capellan Confederation lost even the ability to produce the lesser technologies found on the TDR-5L and so had to resort to downgrading further to the -5LS. Armed with the last remaining advanced lasers the Confederation could build at the time (an ER Large Laser and twin Small Pulses), the -5LS lost its Streak missiles and, most critically, its double heat sinks. With the DHS replaced by 15 standard heat sinks, the -5LS proved a poor variant and was quickly relegated to the dustbins of history after the lasers stopped being produceable as well.

Description

A simple battle design from Periphery Armory, Inc, the Thunderbolt-5PA does a little bit of everything. Armed primarily with a Large Chemical Laser and a LRM-10 launcher, the TDR-5PA is well suited for ranged trades. At closer ranges a trio of Medium Chemical Lasers provide support fire. At point-blank, an Inferno Rocket Launcher-10 and a pair of Heavy Machine Guns do heavy work. The TDR-5PA is effective at all ranges, truly the Swiss Army Knife of the PAI lineup!

Description

The Thunderbolt is a famous design among all MechWarriors, even out into the Periphery. This one though has swapped the right arm firepower for a newly developed Howitzer/4 with two tons of ammo. The rest of the firepower resembles most Thunderbolts: Medium Lasers, mixed LRM and SRM tubes, and some Machine Guns for those pesky infantry.

Two tons of LRM reloads are kept in the right torso while one ton each of SRM and machine gun ammo are kept in the left torso. Additionally, the heat sinks have been upgraded to double heat sinks and CASE has been added to protect against ammunition explosion.

Description

The 7SE variant takes the upgrade of the Thunderbolt even further. The structure has been redesigned to use an Endo Steel structure and the 'Mech also uses Ferro-Fibrous armor and double heat sinks to further save weight. The 'Mech's maneuverability has been enhanced with four jump jets while the primary weapon is a Gauss rifle. This is backed up by three Medium Pulse Lasers in the torso with a fourth mounted on the left arm and, finally, the 7SE carries a Guardian ECM Suite to protect against advanced enemy electronics.

Description

Developed by Earthwerks in 3058, the TDR-8M was a new upgrade of the venerable Thunderbolt that was designed to combine aspects of successful established variants into a new form. Armed with the LRM-15 and ER Large Laser of the previous TDR-7M, the -8M swaps the other weapons for a trio of relatively new ER Medium Lasers. Additionally, the -8M carries a quartet of jump jets in the legs similarly to the old Steiner jump jet Thunderbolts. The -8M was a financial success and carried Earthwerks into the 3060s with ease.

Description

The rebirth of the Terran Hegemony brought with it a need for a restarted military sector among the core worlds of the Inner Sphere. To meet the new Hegemony's demand for material, the various corporations of the Inner Sphere got right to work on new variants for the Hegemony's war machine. One such design is the TDR-8R, a simple line brawler for the Hegemony Armed Forces. Built on a rugged 260-rated standard engine with an Endo-Composite structure for lightness, the -8R uses a Large X-Pulse Laser and a trio of Medium X-Pulse Lasers for primary firepower. A LRM-10 and SRM-2 provide variable support for the lasers. Four jump jets keep the mech mobile in any environment.

Description

The Thunderbolt-8SS is an attempt to streamline and simplify the Thunderbolt's typically eclectic loadout. It drops every weapon off the mech and replaces them all with a pair of ER PPCs with a PPC Capacitor charging them further. An Angel ECM suite keeps the mech protected while 16 double heat sinks and an advanced heat exchanger try their best to keep the mech cool but generally speaking aren't enough for aggressive pilots.

Description

An attempt by Earthwerks to develop the Thunderbolt into a potent long-range combatant, the -9M transforms the 'Mech. Primarily armed with a Light Gauss Rifle, the -9M has the reach to damage anyone it can see. A LRM-15 backs up the gauss rifle at long range. For closer-range engagements, the -9M can call upon 3 ER Medium Lasers as a potent defense. Finally, a quartet of jump jets give the Thunderbolt excellent mobility that guarantees it can position as it likes to best bring its firepower to bear.

Description

Developed with the finest technologies in the Federated Suns, the TDR-9NAIS puts the Davion love of autocannons front and center. Armed with a Rotary Autocannon/5 for primary firepower, the -9NAIS can deliver a brutal punch even before the secondary weapons are accounted for. Speaking of, the -9NAIS carries a trio of ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6 for backup firepower. All of this is tied into a Targeting Computer for excellent accuracy while a Guardian ECM provides extra protection. An XL Engine pays for for the upgrades.

Description

Based on the older 5SS model, the 9S was built using off-the-shelf structural components and armor. The 'Mech is armed with an ER PPC in its right arm as its primary long-range firepower. This is supported at closer ranges by an SRM-6 in the left torso along with the original three medium lasers. While retaining the left arm machine guns, in the right torso it carries a pair of flamers and a Anti-Missile System.

Description

The 9SE variant of the Thunderbolt was introduced as the Eridani Light Horse's update to the 5SE. The 'Mech is armed with an LRM-10 missile launcher for long-range combat. For close to medium ranges, the 'Mech carries a Large Pulse Laser and three medium lasers. Of note is the shifting of the missile launcher and its one ton of reloads from the right-side torso to the left. The additional mobility of the 9SE comes from its four jump jets.

Description

Built by Blackwell Industries for Wolf's Dragoons, the TDR-9W is an amalgamation of various Earthwerks variants over the years, but given a Clantech twist thanks to the Dragoons local Clantech production. Armed with a Clan-spec Large Pulse Laser and three Clan-spec Medium Pulse Lasers, the -9W is a highly accurate threat at any range. A Clan-grade LRM-10 with Artemis IV provides effective support fire while a quartet of jump jets give the -9W effective mobility. 16 Inner Sphere DHS keep it all cold.

Description

Introduced in the 3060s, the 10SE is built around new technologies. The 'Mech has an Endo Steel chassis and is armored with twelve and a half tons of armor. The use of MASC gives it superior maneuverability capable of bursts of speed up to 86.4 km/h and four jump jets gives it a jumping capability of one hundred twenty meters. Finally, the 'Mech's arsenal includes an ER PPC and three ER Medium Lasers which are linked to a Targeting Computer and a LRM-10 launcher. The 'Mech uses a Guardian ECM suite to help defend against advanced enemy targeting and communications systems.

Special Note: The Thunderbolt TDR-PF2 "Skald" is a custom Community Content 'Mech.

Description

Lacking the capabilities of creating the Bushwacker BSW-PF1 with their existing factories, the St. Ives Compact turned to something similar but able to be crafted locally. Turning to the rugged and enduring Thunderbolt chassis, the Compact developed this, the so-called Skald as a partner to the Bushwacker Bard. The Skald proved an able combatant and was effective in their war with the Capellan Confederation.

Description

A simple, clean, basic arena brawler variant of the Thunderbolt, the Top Dog has shown itself to be rugged and enduring, winning a dozen matches in as many weeks during one Solaris VII season. The firepower could not be simpler: a Large Laser for range and 8 Medium Lasers for close up work. Double heat sinks and an enlarged engine manage the heat smoothly.
