Yes it is part of the other Robotech mecha. Not the TV series.

Thunderbolt or Crusader would be cool.

You will be waiting 8 years for the Bushwacker (3058 debut) and 17 years for the Uziel....Start twiddling those thumbs, As I put in my prior post, the tech specs for 3050 are the list of possibles.

Well at least someone will be happy to see the dropships land........

Ehhh OP didn't mention anything about timeline. Just asked a question, what mechs would you like to see.

Bushwhacker is 3053, so at least 3 years. Uziel is indeed 3067, so it will be very unlikely unless there is a big jump in the timeline.

[Wraiph]

Puma and Cyclops

[Thoummim]

Cougar, blood asp and lao hu, yeah I know 3058, 3059 and 3062 but I'm still hoping.

[DerMaulwurf]

Marauder
Warhammer
Shadow Hawk
Phoenix Hawk
Griffin
Banshee

[Karl Streiger]

BANSHEE.... we need more Banshees and Zeus and Victors

Of course some lighter mechs like the jump capable 55t Dervish or the jump capable Grasshopper

The Thunderbolt is no Macross design, its a
Dougram Ironfoot



Exept for a minor design change for the miniature for the Large Laser, it is the F4X.

Nevertheless a mech I personaly would like to see again in Mechwarrior.


Warhammer,

a must have, even if its a Macross design

Battlemaster

another dougram (HT128 Bigfoot)

King Crab

Black Knight

Well done, this is seriously A grade stuff.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

I dream of 5/8/5 55 ton mechs.

Alas all but the Dervish are unseen and the devs foolishly chose the trebuchete over the dervish costing us all 1.5 tons of free space in the process. Sure there are only 3 varients and they're all about the same but I want my 1.5 tons of free space darn it. Unfortunately we are likely to see a 60 ton 5/8/5 like the quickdraw (vomit) that also loses 1.5 tons to the noble 55 ton 5/8/5 mechs before we see an unseen.

*Edit* There is also the gladiator but it's been out of production since 2495 so that's not going to show up. No reason they couldn't refluff if they wanted to though.

The Palladium Robotech RPG was based on the Robotech cartoon. DD is talking about the Revell model lines from before then. There were two:
Robotech Changers - the Macross veritechs, plus some designs from Orguss
Robotech Defenders - pretty much the whole mecha list from Fang of the Sun Dougram

When HG obtained the distribution rights to Macross / Southern Cross / Mospeada, they had a rather... limited ability to distribute toys. That prompted them to enter into an agreement with Revell, which is the reason the anime gained the name Robotech.

[Haalbrecht]
