Recognition Notes
The Thunderbolt TDR-1C is a 65-ton missile boat, though its arsenal spans well beyond stand-off range. An LRM 15 and an SRM 2 share the right torso, a large laser sits in the right arm, and three medium lasers cluster in the left torso alongside a pair of machine guns in the left arm. It cruises at only 32 km/h and tops out near 54, sluggish for its weight, and carries primitive armor plating with 10 single heat sinks. Recognition guides flag it as a maintenance-intensive design that was already listed as obsolete by 2509. Earthwerks Ltd. builds it, with production also based at Tikonov.
