I don't know about you guys, but these two look like they might have had the same daddy.

I have that toy sitting on my desk along side my Bushwacker, flanked by two Elementals and an Infiltrator.
I also have the HBK IIC and the Axeman but there is no room on my desk so they are sitting in my closet.

I wish I still had my Axman... but well boys are not kind to their toys...

Most of the similarities (shark fin, etc) are from old 1980's artwork, not from the Battletech cartoon, I'm afraid.

Mine are largely intact but I have lost all of the little projectiles because of my younger brothers would play with them when they were little... I still have not forgiven them for that.

One of my best friends I remember had his own army of BT toys and we would play. I recall him having the Mauler and I think the Awesome. Those things were freaking huge! I think they were 1 1/2 feet tall.

All the more reason to make a Nicholai Malthus Hero Summoner I suppose. It would have unique geometry.

Doing that is a perfect introduction to the Adam Steiner Axman Hero

Regarding the toy robots, is it a wonder that right now we have 3D printers, blender, and MWO?

And you could maybe even remove those jumpjets because of the leg laser hardpoints

The thing is it's hard to pass on a Nic' Malth' hero Summoner. Because in lore he just used a stock Summoner M from memory (still a good add for the Summoners, it will add an energy hardpoint + missile hardpoint to the ST and in timeline)

So if they want an energy boat summoner like this it needs a different name to prevent it creating an awkward scene on the possibility of having something NIc' based later on.

I didn't even know they made 90s BT toys.

(OMG, that Bushwacker v2 has the ugliest paint scheme of anything with a paint scheme.)

I was busy playing Genesis / SNES and then MTG and BT:TT. I don't even remember watching the cartoon.

Oh yeah, I want some sweet ERSLs in the legs my Summoner.
