I can not see it be a 10M as that is way out of the current time line......

The gotterdammerung is very unlikely

So we have the TDR-5S-T Thunderbolt Tallman but the 5S is not exactly a popular mech......


Maybe PGI will take the current meta 5S S and give it a hero make over. Course that means the clanners will howl but hey maybe the upcoming timber wolf hero will be similar

Now THAT would be an interesting brawl :)

If we pull from the 3025 TRO, we could get the TDR-5SE; another jumping Thud. That one comes with Napoleonic trappings, and external speakers like the Heavy Metal! Alternatively we could get a Thud with mobility quirks and St' Ives Liao markings.

I always hold out hope for 3025 era tech in the heroes, but that hasn't happened of late.

Probably the TDR-5Sb. It's unique because of the two laser points on the left arm, and the one in the head. Also consider that it will come with Endo, Double Heat Sinks, and Artemis. Wouldn't doubt that the Hero name would be "The SLDF Royal".

Just as long as they release the Mastery Pack at the same time. I know some clan players looking for IS heavy mechs.

If they go with an invent-a-mech hero for this one, maybe something like a downgraded 10SE? Give IS its first taste of MASC (can hope right? MASC JJ and ECM together droool)

I'm kinda surprised that the Stalker didn't get a mention in the roadmap to become a "Legomech".

Oh well.

  • TDR-5S-T Thunderbolt Tallman The personal ‘Mech of Bremond DMM commander Leftenant-General Mary Tallman during the DCMS's Third Succession War invasion of Galtor III, only the large laser remains, with the rest of the standard weaponry replaced with a brace of four medium lasers in each side torso. The remaining weight and space is devoted to eight additional heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,447[32]
  • TDR-10M Thunderbolt Ilyena Used by the lance commander of Lamenkov's Liability, this Thunderbolt removes the Snub-Nose PPC of the original TDR-10M and replaces it with a C3 Master computer and an additional Light PPC in the left torso. In every other respect, it is a standard TDR-10M. BV (2.0) = 1,616[33]
  • TDR-10M Thunderbolt Tsakalotos This custom Thunderbolt refitted by Salazar Tsakalotos uses the standard TDR-10M as a base. Equipped with Stealth Armor and a Guardian ECM, it's much harder to hit than a standard Thunderbolt. The weapons have also changed: A Plasma Rifle replaces the Heavy PPC, and to cover the 'Mech's rear an experimental Small Variable Speed Pulse Laser is mounted in the head. For anti-infantry work the Mech carries a flamer in the right torso. A medium pulse laser is also fitted in place of the ER medium model used in standard Thunderbolts, and it keeps the Snub-Nose PPC, Light PPC, and MML-5 of the original TDR-10M. To make room for this equipment, the 'Mech's jumping range is reduced to 90 meters. BV (2.0) = 1,856[34]

Maybe the Tallman TDR-5S-T with 8 medium lasers + 1 large laser?

I hope they just make their own honestly. Then they can actually give the hero something unique hard point-wise compared to the rest of the tbolts. Maybe it can even have an effective stock config.

Maybe a missile boat Thud? Right now the max missile HPs you get on them is 2.

I speculate it will be mediocre, all of the good mechs now go to the Gift Store then Cbill release.

I pictured something maybe with 1 missile in each side torso, 3E in the typical thunderbolt way, and then maybe a missile in each arm, but they are only like 5 tubes or 2 tubes for the arms and 20 tubes for the side torso ones... JJ as well
