Battletech - Thunderbolt

Getting down to the last few here.
This "classic" (or "newseen" as the fans call it) set of mechs is intended to refresh the art for some early era mechs.
My goal was to be as faithful as possible to the originals to deliver something recognizable and iconic, yet still come up with something original.

The Thunderbolt is another of my favorites among the final results. I think I got that look of heavy trooper durability down fairly well.
I didn't have to toe around the Dougram design, so this was all about making it feel more modern and "Battletech".
