==Description==<br />
The '''''Thresher Mk II''''' is a Heavy Clan BattleMech designed as a skirmisher by [[Clan Sea Fox]]. This is a remodeled/refitted version of the venerable ''[[Thresher]]''. The ''Thresher Mk II'' came about when a number of these 'Mechs were produced during the [[Dark Age Era]] and Clan Sea Fox Merchants were unable to sell them. Negotiations with [[Clan Wolf]] [[Khan]] [[Alaric Ward]] paved the way toward a sale, but only if the 'Mechs were refitted to Clan Wolf's specifications, which included arm actuators that the original design never featured.<ref name=RGilClan v04p9&28/><br />
<br />
The 'Mech first saw action in [[3149]], when Clan Wolf pushed into the Worlds of the [[Republic Remnant|Republic Remnants]] on [[Chertan]] and [[Pollux]].<ref name=RGilClan v04p9&28/> <br />
<br />
While the 'Mech was not well-liked by the Wolves, it was purchased in quantity for the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]] and also saw action during the [[IlClan Trial]]. Despite his amazing performance during that climactic conflict, it was expected the ''Thresher Mk II'' would be phased out after the Terran operation had concluded.<ref>''IlClan (sourcebook)'' p. 144</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The 'Mech features a 300-rated [[XL engine]] with [[MASC]] and a [[Supercharger]], allowing it to reach high speeds normally found on lighter machines. Enhancing its mobility further are five [[jump jet]]s, giving it a jump capacity of 150 meters.<ref name=RGilClan v04p9&28/><br />
<br />
The ''Thresher Mk II's'' armament features a mix of long range and short range options. Its main battery of guns consists of an [[Type 22]] [[extended range PPC]] with a [[Type XV "Crossbow"]] [[LRM-15|15-tubed long range missile launcher]], supplied with two tons of ammunition. At shorter ranges, a [[Series 44h]] [[large pulse laser]] coupled with a [[Mk. 22 Type II]] [[SRM-4|4-tubed short-range missile launcher]] and [[DuPont Ultra PM]] [[flamer]] are available for use.<ref name=RGilClan v04p9&28/> <br />
<br />
Its ammunition is protected by [[CASE II]], greatly decreasing damage to the right torso from ammo explosions and allowing the XL engine to continue operating with little fear of damage. Clan Sea Fox chose to protect the 'Mech with 9.5 tons of [[Reflective armor|Gamma Special Reflective armor]]. This armor gives the 'Mech resistance to energy weapons, but makes it more vulnerable to artillery and some ballistic weapons.<ref name=RGilClan v04p9&28/><br />
