Overview:
The Thresher 3 was first employed shortly before the Clan Invasion as the result of hasty repairs for a Trial of Bloodright. After a successful performance, the newly bloodnamed Artoria Grey retained the configuration and it spread as a variant through her 35th Cruiser Cluster.
Capabilities:
Much like the Thresher 2, this variant swaps the arm-mounted Series 14a medium pulse lasers with 7J ER Large Lasers for improved long range performance. Rather than using a smaller autocannon, the Thresher 3 instead fits a LRM launcher and an additional heatsink, making up the tonnage with a further ton and a half of armour protection, spread across the 'Mech.
