70 tons? Arms swapped? Strange, indeed...

In answer to your question: not really. Of course it is nice to have a Thunderbolt which intermixes the fortés of the two better TDR variants. However, it also reminds me of the Zeus -6T a lot. Which may actually not be better (less armour, less ammo) but oozes so much style - any TDR doesn't have a hope in hell of equaling that!

But I really love your lines of thinking!

Well, those five tons were necessary to get some more tonnage, arms swap was a mistake. Still you probably get how nasty does this look. It's just a mental construct I've made to see where another 'what if' line in costruction can lead.

Perhaps you'd be more interested in TDR-5A, which I've sent to the TRO. It's an AC/5 variant Laughing
