nice mech, but i am still hoping for a Shadowhawk..though the treb will be a nice addition

Great. Another 50ton medium without jump capability. Just what we needed.

I like the loook, but having one LRM-15 in the torso and one in the arm might cause issues with aiming. I suppose it depends on how aiming works for LRM's. If haiving the reticule on target improves accuracy of the missiles, the it is a problem. If not then it obviously doesn't matter.

The J variant has JJ's. You lose an LRM-15, but what do you expect for 50 tons.

oh maee gawd! it reminds me of Metabots

[Cerlin]

An nontraditional choice! I like it. I really enjoyed this mech in Mw2 mercs. IT was a light catapult basically. Man Ill need to get this one too.

Yippeeee. always did like shooting at the good old trenchbucket. almost as fun as playing kick the urban mech with an assault mech. But in honesty yup they are great medium support mech. good missile boat

Yeah. I'd like to see a medium with a JJ'ed Prime. The weight class is ideal for JJs: as it is heavy enough to spare the weight (as opposed to lights where it is a sacrifice) but light enough to still use the smaller weight class of jets. I get the feeling that the Devs are trying to make JJs rare. Not sure why they would do that.

Awsome thank you devs Keep them amazing Mechs rolling in

[Redshift2k5]

Least impressive mech so far

But I do see it fulfilling the role of a dedicated LRM medium...even though there are missile Hunchbacks, neither are the prime variant, and this will serve well as a lighter catapult counterpart.

[Orzorn]

Awesome mech!

[CaveMan]

Another 50-tonner? So we'll have the Trebuchet, 50 tons, with missile and laser mounts, and the "Swayback" Hunchback, 50 tons, with missile and laser mounts. And maybe the Trebby variant with the PPC and AC/5, so another 50-tonner with ballistic and energy mounts.

Good to finally have a long-range medium, but how about a little variety in the medium chassis, guys? We still don't have a stock medium with jump jets.

[Point Blank]

This is one sexy looking medium mech, long range? Don't mind if I do!

Everything that is said here; fire support is not exactly what I was hoping for with the next medium. We want to fly!

Holy Cow and Hey Hey !!! A Trench Bucket !!!! Cool Beans !!!!!!!!!

[Karyudo ds]

Wow, another unexpected mech I always thought looked okay at best and looking pretty good here.

[Hypernaut]

Congrats on the appealing Design!
Trebuchet was always an interesting and versatile mech to play. Low armor and ammo made you think when to push and when to dodge....

[Stonefalcon]

It's fly is undone.
