french for catapulte or siege machine

I'm a bit confused as to why this is called Trebuchet instead of Trench Bucket.

When I saw the headline for this new mech, I was half expecting to see a rendering that resembled an actual Trebuchet:



Did the french name this mech or something?

[Doctor Mushroom]

It looks really nice, but it hasn't been added to the media section yet.

i have to admit i dont know a lot about the table game tho i used to love the kodiak but tribuchet is a nice name for a missile based system cause of its roots from the french origin ive seen a replica tribuchet toss a car about 7 football fields they are awesome death machines from the middle ages

[Shadeaux Wryphin]

Not bad. Def like the new look, way bettr than old design.

[Rougeskra]

Sounds like a blast. Be fun to give it a try.

[Qosmius]

I like the purina logos

[Noahbash]

I can haz?

I am back. I was gone a month. Now i see the trebuchet is our newest mech. While i like the mech in theory i hate the limited ammo and armor on this thing. In mech lab i would reduce the lrm 15 to some lrm 10 for some more ammo. I love the idea of the mech though. A fast mobile fire support mech. i can see this mech having a solid role in the game play.

Very similar to my beloved Catapult...May need to try this one!

Ooh plz give us the TBT-5J
missiles, lasers and jump jets, my dream come true

The Treb was the starting Mech in MPBT:3025 - everyone earned their way out of Solaris with one of those. The new look is really well done - looking forward to more mechs.

Oh yes, the TrenchBucket! My First Ever TT mech.

The lovely, lovely smell of burning lrm-fuel and the shine of the three medlasers lighting up the enemy.

I'm a bit of two minds about the concept art, on one hand it looks awesome, on the other hand, I miss the original Trebuchet's bit comical oversized 'helm' and its tall-thin and quite fragile-looking construction.

[Telemonian Ajax]

I'm looking forward to the TBT-7K!

[Inappropriate618]

i think that that mech needs more ballistic hardpoints

[AlphaPiAlpha]

Very good balanced choice with a lot of possible weapon configurations! looking forward to that one!

[VXJaeger]

Sweet!
I can't have a Crusader, so i'll nab a couple of 'Bucket's and duct-tape them together.
AND a Medium that's not slow out of the box...class.
