Not bad looking. Curious on tube counts though.

No, there is not. I'm not talking it's tech specs. Write up. Such as the IV-4 got, the Jester. A glimpse into the fluff of the history of the Hero. It's pilot, etc.

I like the Mech... I love the new modeling on the Trebuchets... I hope this is reflected on all variants! btw... your frontpage link is broken

Ah yeah, it is not very "fluffy" and is probably an apocryphal variant too (although I will double check on Sarna).

No, it is cool, but still will be less competitive than the Shadow Hawk.

Finally a Trebuchet Hero... a Heromech for one of the best chassis in MWO. Thank you!

Are you delusional?

No, they gives the popular notion that Trebs are bad mechs the finger and does their own thing.

Or they're being sarcastic.

I actually like Trebs, though, so this one's on the wishlist.

Not really necessary that one, sry!

Fantastic camo design once again on a Hero Mech - nice job !

[AlmightyAeng]

The Warwolf was built in Scotland for the ENGLISH. Why are there fleur-de-lis all over this thing?

[PACoFist]

I want this one sooo badly. I love Trebs and always wished we get a TBT-hero. And the camo is a huge improvement compared to other recent hero mechs.
Good job!

Trebuchet(Trenchbucket) has a horrible reputation in Battletech lore, it has a terrible reputation in MWO, but most of the bad reputation is not because its "just that bad", its because everyone just grow to hate it, as it truly only suits a minority's piloting style.
- 7 kills 5 assists speak for themselves though in Catalina's hands. There might be only a dozen pilots who actually pilot them, but those who do, know its strong points well enough.

It's one of most underrated battlemechs for a reason, and people have always hated the Trebuchets with a burning desire(as its chassis is "that bad"). But for those who get it... Its one of a kind Medium Mech out there, apart from the Centurion and any other.
- This is besides the Ember, the only Premium Mech I'll be getting. So I'm happy to see this in action.

Probably same reason why you have the Japanese imperial flag on a Chinese god of war.
