Nice to see this old standby get a facelift. It was horribly ugly back in the day, but that was kind of endearing and earned it a spot in my tabletop games.

How come the Trebuchet is not on the MECH ART section of the webpage yet?

For those of you who say "I miss the helmet", it's still there. It's just bolted down directly to the shoulders.

A trebuchet is a siege engine. Essentially it's a giant mace on wheels and a hinge. It's also, quite easily, a paper tiger, just like this mech. The wooden construction is very easy to damage. So all in all, a fitting name. The mech does work really well when partnered with a good spotter, as you'll read here. You wouldn't want to be sat in one without a scout of some sort though.

Awesome I always liked the Tree Bucket :rolleyes: Nice piece of hardware when you could not afford a heavier support mech.
