==Armament and Equipment==
The TDR-5T is only marginally change machine from the Inner Sphere standard TDR-5S. The machine remains powered by a VOX 260-Rated Fusion Engine which is given same speed other brethren have. 
While the design retains the original's with thirteen tons of standard armor, which gives this now all-range fighter durability.
Much of the standard original Thunderbolt's weaponry, the Taurians would make rearragement of the secondary weapons and ammunition placement. While retaining it's traditional shoulder mounted 15 LRM Launcher, right arm Sunglow Type 2 Large Laser and the 3 shoulder mounted Diverse Optics Type 18 Medium Lasers. However the LRM's 2 tons of ammo is moved to the right torso along with the SRM ammo, while reducing the Machine Gun ammo to half ton in the left arm where the weapons are housed. New additions come in the form of a upgraded SRM launcher, now bolstering a Holly 4-Tubed launcher instead of the two in the center toros. A Small Laser is also mounted in the lower center torso as well.The upgrades come at the price of a single Heat Sink, which forces the pilot to bracket fire (choose what weapons to fire) to avoid over heating the machine.
