==Description==
 
The '''''Thresher II''''' (also known as Thresher Mk II) is a Heavy Clan BattleMech design as skirmisher by [[Clan Sea Fox]]. This is a remodelled/refitted version of the venerable [[Thresher]]. The Thresher II came about when number these Mechs were produced during the [[Dark Age Era]], Clan Sea Fox Merchants were unable sell them.  Negotiations with Clan Wolf Khan, [[Alaric Ward]], pave way to sale, but only if the 'Mechs were refitted to Clan Wolf's specifications, which included arm actuator which the original never featured.
 
 
 
The Mech first saw action in [[3149]], when Clan Wolf pushed into Worlds of the [[Republic Remnant|Republic Remnants]] on [[Chertan]] and [[Pollux]].
 
 
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The Mech features 300 Rated Extra-Light Engine, with enhancements of MASC & a Supercharger, giving it range of high speeds normally found on lighter machines. Enhancing it's mobility further with five [[JumpJets]] giving it jump capacity of 150 meters.
 
 
 
Thresher's armament features a mix of long range and short range options. It's main battery of guns, comes form it's Extended Range PPC, with 15-tubed Long Range Missile Launcher with 16 volleys of fire. In shorter ranges, a Large Pulse Laser, coupled with a 4-tubed Short-range missile launcher & Flamer rounds out it's short range firepower. 
 
 
 
It's ammunition is protected by presence of CASE II, greatly decreasing damage to the right torso allowing the XL Engine to continue operate without fear of damage. Sea Fox engines choose to fit out the mech's armor with 9.5 tons of [[Reflective Armor|Gamma Special Reflective Armor]]. This armor gives the mech resistance to energy weapons, but making slight vulnerable to artillery & special ballistic weapons.
