I don't think that it's a Trebuchet. Missile armament disappeared and new weapons appeared on places where the original chassis didn't have any. As a short range weapon it has a SRM, again I must question the choice. I would rather leave one of the lasers in place an add a heat sink. I would also like to know why the ammo for AC sits under the PPC. A place that would probably be plagued by heat. The ammo must be transferred to the other side of the torso around the reactor. Well these things probably don't bother any game players, but the fact that the PPC will be lost if the ammo explodes (and thus it won't be salvageable) should be considered.
It's strange, but usable.

from a message board thread:
TBT-7K - "WTF?!" some of you may exclaim. Well, this design has the Kuritan spin to it (and do you remember what they did to the Catapult?). The design originates in "Sorenson's Sabres" as seen in a Sword of Light regiment. It was never fully made clear whether this was a field refit or a factory refit kit or a limited factory run (unlike the Hermes III, also released in that volume, which was a factory conversion line thing). So a conservative guess tells us that it may not be unique but it is likely to be extremely rare.
This drops all the weaponry and replaces it rather arbitrarily. It mounts an AC5, a PPC and an SRM2 along with an extra HS, which means that it clearly becomes a SNIPER.
A bit of everything for this design, no?
I quite like that load-out. It can handle the heat, it will surprise unwary opponents (unless the model is nicely converted....yes, I went through that trouble).
But it is the only one of these designs that cannot, ever, cause more than 20 damage in a pinch. It also still mounts the mediocre armour.
In a way, this needs to fall back into the SKIRMISHER role of leading a running battle with rather ineffective firing if it ever gets *noticed*. But then, the Jagermech is screwed, too, if anyone ever concentrates on it....

A direct fire support unit wit a good weapon loadout and a badly choosen closerange weapon.
Firering your main weapons on the run will demand a look on the heat though!
Nothing but average like most TBT´s.

A decent enough support mech. Its not the missile toter that it was before.
Personally I'd say the PPC and AC5 are more useful than the missiles unless your doing a lot of Thunder and indirect support fire type things.
I'm biased because its a Kuritan refit. But its still at best an average workhorse of the Combine.

Not bad, but the mech seems to lack a definition. The PPC and AC can do some fair damage, and the SRM is...alright, I suppose. Not my first choice for a TBT, though. Still, if you need a filler, theres worse choices.
