	==Description==		==Description==
−	[[Clan Hell's Horses]] originally conceived of the '''''Thunder Stallion''''' as a [[totem 'Mech]]<ref>Era Report: 3062, p.107</ref>, along the lines of the ''[[Mandrill]]''. After the poor performance of other totem designs, however, that aspect was downplayed to the point that only the rear legs retain any of the equine aesthetic styling that was supposed to be such an important aspect of the [['Mech]]. True to the emphasis on combined arms warfare that the Horses value, the ''Thunder Stallion'' is an assault 'Mech that is designed to support what would be considered secondary forces in any other [[Clan]]. Since it was designed to work with [[infantry]], the ''Thunder Stallion'''s top speed of 54 km/h is roughly equivalent to the speed that an [[Elemental Battle Armor]] can move. The limited internal space inherent in quad 'Mechs forced the designers to use no weight-saving materials. This relatively inexpensive, durable design is protected by a whopping seventeen and a half tons of armor.<ref name=TRO3060/>	+	[[Clan Hell's Horses]] originally conceived of the '''''Thunder Stallion''''' as a [[totem 'Mech]], along the lines of the ''[[Mandrill]]''.

−	==Weapons and Equipment==	+	==Armament==
−	Ideal for working with spotters, the ''Thunder Stallion'' mounts four Type XV [[LRM-15]] launchers and eight tons of ammunition for them. This gives the 'Mech a significant long-range punch that can be called down from behind cover. Perhaps the largest backup weapon ever is the ''Thunder Stallion'''s Type Mu [[LB 20-X AC]]. This massive gun is capable of defending against infantry or blowing holes in all but the most well-armored of opponents. Fourteen [[double heat sink]]s keep the 'Mech cooled down.<ref name=TRO3060/>	+	Ideal for working with spotters, the ''Thunder Stallion'' mounts four Type XV [[LRM-15]] launchers and eight tons of ammunition for them.

Its main weapon is a [[HAG-40|Class 40 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle]] with six tons of ammunition.  The 'Mech's alternate weapons are a single [[ER Medium Laser]] and a [[LB 20-X AC|Class 20 LB-X Autocannon]] with three tons of ammunition. This variant has also been given added protection in the form of an [[ECM Suite]]. BV (2.0) = 2,667<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 273 - New Thunder Stallion variant introduced during the Jihad.</ref>

−	*;''Thunder Stallion'' 4 : Also known as "Avenging Annie", this [[3138]] variant is designed for front-line combat. Replacing the LRMs are a [[Gauss rifle]], a [[Large Pulse Laser]], two [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, and an [[ER Large Laser]]. An XL engine and a half-ton armor reduction allows room for this armament array and jump jets. As of [[3140]], only one 'Mech of this variant existed, a custom [[Arc-Royal MechWorks]] refit/rebuild for [[Ann-Marie Dalmas]], but there were indications that Clan Hell's Horses were working to duplicate it.
