Critical hit: CENTER TORSO
1900s me can still hear the mech names being announced in Mech Warrior 2
With that lisp it had because of the vocoder and then the really crunchy 90's audio compression, so it definitely called it a "Thummoner?"
Stay away from the Thummoner!
The Inner Sphere calls the Thummoner a Thor for short.
I think mechwarrior 2 came out a little later than the 1900s
1995 is very much in the 1900's.
Actually it’s in the 1990s, there’s about a 90 year difference.
The 1990's are in the 1900's.
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear

Filthy clanner
Freeborn scum!
Clanners even improved your trashcan designs.
To use the word "improved" would imply my beloved Orgus Industries mech wasn't already perfection incarnate. The majesty of its 32kph cannot be overstated.
"Who you calling a timber wolf"
I'm playing mechwarrior atm, this is great!
That's a Timberwolf! Neither a Marauder or a ~~Catalyst~~ Catapult.
More like a Purr-rauder, amirite?
the Muurauder is just better though.
Catapult.
You're right.
must be an early iteration of mad cat-lon
