Presenting the 65t Inner sphere battlemech "Thundebolt".

As you may notice, this is the re-seen version. I actually prefer this look to the original. Of course this is heavily modified from the available art. I was originally going to make it the TDR-9M variant, but then I just couldn't drop that RAC in favor of the light gauss rifle it's supposed to have.

Was a fun mech to do. Even tho it gave me some headaches for a long time. I first started working on this mech about two years ago.

Partial credit goes to

for providing me with a rough low poly to work with. Not much of it remains as a base for this model, but it did greatly inspire me to make this.

140000+ polygons total

I suppose if you were going to put this in Mechwarrior 4, doing the unseen version would be redundant, what with the existence of the Summoner.

In that regard, excellent work.

Looks BETTER than the Summoner, IMO! Great work.

Really cool!
The re-seen version makes allot more sense.
I thought the AC would be little bigger?

I prefer to make more realistic sized weapons. I hate the way battletech artwork is filled with guns that have bores so big you could fit a small car inside.

Yeah, I'm kind of regret putting huge cannon on a Shadow Hawk in my last CBT sketch. I remember going WTH the fist time I saw the re-seen mechs with the huge chain guns.Should take a hin't from your work and try to keep it real.
