Overview:
    Of all the redesigns, the Thunderbolt was given special attention. The T-Bolt, as it has
    been affectionately called, served in all the armies of the Inner Sphere at one time or
    another, making it one of the most versatile BattleMechs ever produced. When Earthwerks had
    the chance to redesign the 'Mech, they did not stray far from the original's specifications.
    
    The problem Earthwerks encountered came from the LCCC, thanks to Irian BattleMechs Unlimited
    - they had been pushing their TMP-3M Tempest as a replacement for the Thunderbolt for some
    time. Irian pressed the LCCC to stop Earthwerks from proceeding with their project. Lawsuits
    were being drafted to put an injunction on Earthwerks when Precentor Blaine stepped in and
    negotiated a settlement. A compromise was reached settling the dispute of which both sides
    approved. The prospective companies would have their 'Mechs battle in a test trial. The
    winner would get a lucrative contract with the Word of Blake. The Word of Blake received the
    first shipment of TDR-9Ms early in April of 3067, thanks to the efforts of Captain Mordel
    Blacknight in his stunning victory over Irian's Tempest.
