The only Bolo I know, is Bolo Yeung from Bloodsport. And I don't think he ever said TADA... but he did say " You are NEX! "

Do you mean BOLO as in the Defenders of Humanity and Pride of the Dinochrome brigade? If so then yes,I got about 6 books.

I'd love to see some Hellbores fired in this game, or a nice siege crawler to combat! My favorite Bolo is the Mk 30, followed by the 24. Anyone else?

Clubs are great for braining an opponent, and Bolo is an excellent club if your enemy is a city, nation, planet, or fleet in near orbit!

Ahhh, finally people with excellent taste and character! I find myself drawn often into Concordiate space and Known Space, "spodders" or "ratcats", humanity has many enemies in the various universes!

If I'm not mistaken BOLO's are the biggest, baddest, meanest semi self aware tanks around.. LOOOOVE the BOLO books.

In battle reflex, they are fully aware, above mk XXIII, if I'm not mistaken(don't have a BOLO bible in reach). They are **** encased in flintsteel, wrapped in duraloy. Weighing up to 32,000 tons, weapons to suit, I'd pit a mk *** Planetary Defense Unit against all of BattleTech! It might lose a track and some secondaries.

I guess not a lot of people are up on BOLOs, well this universe couldn't support them anyway. But they are truly awesome!

And even if some battlemechs where somehow able to get the up hand on a Bolo,well they have been known to set Their reactors to overload and charge headlong into the enemy.

They couldn't get the upper hand on a BOLO, it could outthink and out fight anything, except another BOLO. Even the largest class of navy space warcraft avoid getting too close, Hellbores or Hellrails are not real friendly to contained environments!
