Between the Firebrand, Pretty Baby, and Hotrod pattern, there are a lot of fire themed mechs going around, but nothing contrary to that theme, yet.

I like the Trebuchet, the TBT-7K being my favorite variant. Ignoring the TBT-7K however, all the Trench-buckets, at least in their stock form, are all slightly different flavors of LRM-15 boats, with one or two M(15) racks. I feel a Hero Trebuchet should keep with the Missile Boat theme, but deviate away from this M(15) standard currently held by all four missile Trebuchets. Thus the Rainy Day:

"Rainy Day" TBT-RND

- Tonnage: 50
- Engine: 255 STD
- Top Speed: 82.6 kph
- Max Engine Rating: 310
- Torso Movement:
     - 115 degrees to each side.
     - 35 degrees up and down.
- Arm Movement:
     - 15 degrees to each side.
     - 40 degrees up and down.
- Armor: 322 (Ferro-Fibrous)
- Internal Structure: Endo-Steel
- Weapons & Equipment:
     - Left Arm: LRM 5 x1, SSRM x2
     - Right Torso: LRM 5 x3
     - Right Arm: Medium Laser x2
     - 3 tons LRM Ammo
     - 2 tons SSRM Ammo
- Hardpoints:
     - Left Arm: 3 Missile (5x3)
     - Right Torso: 3 Missile (5x3), 1 AMS
     - Right Arm: 3 Energy
- Heat Sinks: 10 Double
- Jump Jets: 3 (3 Max)
- ECM Capable?: No
- Module Slots: 2
- Movement Archetype: Medium

Notes

• 6 Missile hardpoints limited to 5 missile slots. Encourages SRM 4 or SSRM 2 boating.
  
• 3 Laser hardpoints. Less than other Trebuchets to balance out the sheer number of missile hardpoints. Was originally 2.
  
• Jump Jets. Reduced maximum to 3.
  
• Reduced maximum Engine size to 310, as to not completely outclass other light-hunting mechs.
