The '''''Thresher''''' is a second-line [[BattleMech]] that is all-around average. It excels at nothing, but will rarely turn in a particularly poor showing. It has modest speed for a 'Mech its size, which it compensates for with [[MASC]] and enough [[jump jet]]s to leap up to 150 meters. The ''Thresher'' is the result of a joint development project between [[Clan Sea Fox]] and [[Clan Hell's Horses]], the result of which was obvious to [[Inner Sphere]] observers before they had even encountered the 'Mech in battle. The obviously committee-designed unit is far from threatening, but it did provide the basis for a later [[OmniMech]], the ''[[Summoner]]''. This expensive garrison 'Mech uses an [[XL engine]] and an [[Endo Steel]] skeleton to save weight. It carries a modest nine and a half tons of armor.<ref name=TRO3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', pp. 174-175, "Thresher 'Mech Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3058U>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', pp. 178-179, "Thresher 'Mech Profile"</ref>

The largest gun on the ''Thresher'' is its Type DL [[Ultra Autocannon/10]]. The medium range weapon can dish out a fair amount of damage, but it is not a legitimate long-range threat. At closer ranges, the ''Thresher'' can bring a Series 2h [[ER Medium Laser]] and a pair of accurate Series 14a [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s to bear. Two Mk. 22 Type III [[SRM-6]] launchers can exploit holes the other weapons make in an enemy's armor. Thirteen [[double heat sink]]s keep the 'Mech cool.<ref name=TRO3058/><ref name=TRO3058U/>
