With that lisp it had because of the vocoder and then the really crunchy 90's audio compression, so it definitely called it a "Thummoner?"
Stay away from the Thummoner!

I think mechwarrior 2 came out a little later than the 1900s
1995 is very much in the 1900's.
Actually it’s in the 1990s, there’s about a 90 year difference.
The 1990's are in the 1900's.
