I have all of them that were released, but most of them are pretty well used. I have collected several that are still NIB though :) A couple of axmen and elementals, infiltrator, banshee, and others. Did anyone ever see the Vulture? I think I have a picture of it here somewhere....

I've got the Sloth battle armor. Seemed a one trick pony, but as a kid watching it climb up the underside of mech and placing a mine, I thought it was a pretty cool trick. :)

I would love to go purchase these... but I am not sure i can justify 40 dollars for a toy... 40 dollars for a OOP sourcebook, sure... but a old toy... XD

I had the bushwacker, hunchback, and banshee back in the day. Man those things were cool for the 90's. They had high tension springs too. You could actually hurt someone with those projectiles.

I never had any myself, but I remember that at a childhood friend's birthday party back in the mid 90s he got like 3 of these things. I was one jealous eight year old.

I still have my Axman, the spring tension was crazy compared to my brothers Bushwacker or Mauler. It must be about 16 years old now, the missile pod is shot, the stickers are worn but the ejection seat still works and I have all 6 missiles. I also learned something new. Try putting your toy under a blacklight. The orange parts (axe, lasers, etc) are quite vivid under a blacklight. Had this thing sitting on my desktop for years and it still had a surprise left for me.

I have the bushy, the mauler, the way to odd Thor (I will call it thor because it is certainly not a summoner, I do not know *** it is), the sloth (*** was that!), the Hunchback IIC, an elemental, and the axman

I just got the axeman and mauler alt paint in yesterday! ^^_
Next up a classic painted 'Thor'

I am tempted to either repaint theses bad boys or make a resin duplicate and paint that.
anyone else ever think about playing the TT rules on this scale!?

oh and the mechs all have their required accessories; ammo, pilots etc
just for this shot I was in a rush to show a friend, and I don't want to stress those
15yr old springs :)

I had all of them as a kid, but now all I've got is the Elemental. My 2 year old daughter plays with it, it's the badguy to her Thomas the Trains.
