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? :(

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

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.

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.

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.
