I just now noticed this... does anyone else see what looks like a zipper running down the front of that concept art's center torso?

[Stormwolf]

Nice, I've been hoping that this mech was to be included, I'm guessing that they are going for the TRO3050 mechs here.

Sounds awesome. Still crossing my fingers for a Star Adder...

Pssst, the Star Adder is not a canon mech, it's a animal and the Clan that is named after it.
Although the Blood Asp is indeed canon.

I like this art. I do miss the "helmet" that the original Trenchbucket had.

[Dagger6T6]

I've always loved the Trenchbucket!

[Eruthis]

Looking good as always, I have always liked the good ol Tree Bucket.

3xMBL

Do you mean just 3xML? What is the "B" for in there for?

[Skoll Lokeson]

Nice...

I was thinking that the TBT-5 would be a nice addition when I was looking through my old "Technical Readout 3025" yesterday.

As usual, the MWO version looks a lot better

it seems a bit of the "helmet" might be peeking around the back, judging from the sides... we need another view to be sure

MBL = Medium Beam Laser

It's a carry over from playing MWLL, we always made the distiction between MBL and MPL (medium pulse laser)

No way, this can't be a Trebuchet O.O
This is a million miles better than the old bucket.
The head, just compare the head ... just awesome.
PGI, if you keep this up, then I'm really looking
forward to see your version of the Urbie. Your
artists just look at Mechs and they turn sexy =)

Great new look... +1

[Atomfire]

Well this is nice.

[Sharkath]

This one is going to be a fun one!

[Telecleez]

[Thorn Hallis]

Hmpf...I like the mech itself, but the redesign...not my taste.

[DocBach]

Looks cool, but would rather have seen a direct fire support mech like the Blackjack, since we've already got the Catapult and the Davions need some love.

[Aegis Kleais]

Englishman in 1400's: So what's the difference between a Catapult and a Trebuchet?

Other Englishman: Oh, about 15 tons...


Also. Minus the JJ, armor and 1 ML, this thing has the same loadout as a Catapult C1! But it's 20KPH faster! I might definitely have to pick me up one of these!

FD, another solid design. Love it.

Once again the MWO artists have outdone themselves. Another beautiful rendition!
