Ah, the
Trebuchet, another primarily missile 'Mech hailing from the
Technical Readout: 3025 days. If you're a fan of the French language, it's even the coolest sounding of them. If you're not, I'm sure plenty of trenches need buckets. There doesn't seem to be a modern 'Mech of the Week article for the
Trebuchet so use it similar to how you'd use a
Catapult or an
Archer, I guess?
The
Trebuchet has had five renditions so far:
- The original sculpt with what looks like an LRM-5 on the arm, now OOP (20-887).
- The PlasTech sculpt, which I've never seen myself. I hope someone else can talk about it.
- The metal resculpt (20-901). The most significant differences are the missile launchers, particularly since the arm now sports an LRM-15.
- The beginner's set sculpt, which is based on the original sculpt.
- The plastic sculpt released in the prior two intro boxes, based on the beginner's set sculpt, and in the Fire Lance lance pack.
If you have any
Trebuchets painted, please share pictures. ('Mechs, not medieval siege weapons, please.) We'd love to see them!
As always, thank you for reading! And a special thank you to those who post pictures!
Our next two fortnights will be:
- Clan (2/25): Phoenix Hawk IIC
- Inner Sphere (3/11): Hatchetman
