================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Thunderbolt IIIC is Clan Donka reimagining of the venerable TDR. Based off of a Summoner
    frame, the T-bolt IIIC has an eclectic weapons mix. Its longest-range weapon are its two ER
    PPCs mounted in each arm, which provides the Thunderbolt IIC with respectable long-range
    firepower. An Artemis IV FCS controlled LRM-20 missile launcher is mounted in the right
    torso fed by a two-ton reload bin in the right torso. As ranges close, the Thunderbolt IIC
    is able to bring its three Medium Pulse Lasers and are mounted in the right torso. Finally
    for anti-infantry work the Thunderbolt IIIC has two two ER Small Lasers in the arms.

Capabilities:
    While an impressive arsenal, the Thunderbolt IIIC has eighteen double heat sinks which cope
    with firing heat-intensive weapons. However, Thunderbolt IIIC pilots must take extra care to
    manage their heat levels lest they shut down or cause their ammo to cook off, and many will
    prefer to fight within bodies of water to better cool off their 'Mechs. The thirteen and a
    half tons of armor protect the Thunderbolt IIIC is still impressive given the fact many
    current assault models sport less protection than this design. The eight ton XL fusion
    engine powers the Thunderbolt IIIC gives it a cruising speed of 48.3kph and a top speed of
    64kph.
