Did anyone have these back when the animated series about the 1st Somerset Strikers was out?
I remember I owned a few of them, the only two I remember for sure was the Mauler and Bushwacker, I seem to remember a Thunderbolt.
I'm trying to find them online to see how much they go for these days but am not having any luck.
My friend and I used tabletop rules for the figurines as kids...we would use rulers to measure how far you could run and we would manually aim the weapons at the other mechs and would keep track on the mech sheets the damage depending on where it hit. For the missiles I believe we did die roll to determine how many hit if we made contact.

Came across this one while typing up this post:

Now that I know Tyco made them im finding all of them... the Toad(Elemental) was cool, had the Sloth too

Yesss, I had the Axman and Hunchback.

You shot the pressure plates and the leg of the Hunchback flew off or the cockpit of the Axman! Was so awesome.

My nephews/nieces love playing with them and that makes me happy ^^

I have a Warhammer and a Rifleman action figures around here somewhere...
I know where abouts at least one of them is, the Rifleman I think. Wait, no, the Warhammer. Can't be bothered to dig for it. I should be in bed by now.
Well, I know where both of them are, one of them is just not here. That one should be the Rifleman.

Or you can blow $100 and get a heavy partially die-cast display model of some iconic battlemechs :D .

I'd love to see someone start making Battle Tech Micro Machines. Those are still some of my most favorite toys that actually have scale.

I would go completely dinosaur bananas for BattleTech Micro Machines.

I would flip right off the flippin trampoline and into outer space.

And heck. They made Babylon 5 Micro Machines. There has to be a bigger fan base for Battletech/Mechwarrior/Mechassault than Babylon 5. Not dissing Babylon 5. Loved that show. But yeah

I wonder what it would cost for them to do a trial run? Just the battlemechs in MWO at launch. 16 or so mechs, 3 per box, so 5 boxes or so. All the MWO launch mechs yours for around $30. I'd totally do that.

And I'll take 4 of the urbanmech 'special easter coloring version 3 pack' as well.

Omg these were my absolute favorite toys!
I have every single battle tech toy with all the missiles for every mech still. I look forward to playing with them again when I have kids of my own.

If the game is successful, in time we might get T-shirts, and if demand is high enough, toys, just keep in mind enough people have to want this stuff to the degree that it can be profitable, before we get tangibles, that goes for Halo 3 and its legendary edition, Guild Wars 2 plushies, league of Legends "swag", etc. This game is going to need a phenomenal following, and if it does get it, merchandise will be an inevitability

I remember i had the bushwacker as a kid. Was like my favorite toy ever. I don't remember much of the show though but i used to watch it all the time. I lost the cockpit somehow and then it kinda got lost in a closet somewhere...

I had no idea these even existed. How did I miss these? Was I too busy playing with my Transformers and Voltron figures at the time?

I'd love to pick up some high quality Battletech collectibles with this reset. The redesigns would look fabulous if they got with the right kind of company (example) to make some figures.
