− The '''''Thunderbolt''''' started production in [[Introduction Year::2491]] as a planetary-assault 'Mech, and in fact was one of the heaviest 'Mechs that could be produced at that time. Since then the 'Mech, known affectionately as the ''T-Bolt'' or sometimes as the ''Thud'', has had its classification changed as larger 'Mechs were built. Thanks to periodic updates, it is still feared and respected by many. With its varied arsenal, the ''Thunderbolt'' remains one of the best-armed 'Mechs, making it capable of serving in many roles. It is also an incredibly well-armored 'Mech, rivaling or exceeding the amount of armor carried by some [[assault 'Mech]]s.
