I'm currently looking for pics of the Battletech toy line, but can't find hardly any mention of it at all as I'm fairly new to Battletech and have really only read a few of the books, I don't know if the toy line is looked at as the mutated gimp of the family you keep in the basement or not. If any one has any info on the line (pics, links whatever) could you pass it along to me? Thanx

Hmm. Dunno. They didn't look too bad, I guess; they made the Axeman and Hunchback IIC, IIRC. I can't find any pictures on-line, but if you try E-Bay someone might have a lot up with visuals for the toys.
Depending on what exactly you're after, the MW: DA game might be more what you're looking for.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.

yeah, I've seen two auctions on ebay consisting of 6 different mechs other than the one I have, but there are no names and I don't know what accessories and such came with each one

They also made a Battlearmor Elemental suit and the Sloth and I believe the Banshee fighter.
I have the Sloth, got it as bday present, not sure where it's at any more, I used it as paper wieght and/or book end.

And then there's K'Nex stuff. I had a Cauldron-Born, but pieces were lost during moving.

Yeah I have the Elemental, they call it a Toad Powersuit (not sure if it's been called that anywhere else, which is why I'd like to find a site about the toys)

The name Toad was given to the Battlearmor by the IS early on, so they could have gone with that name given the cartoon which the toys are based on was taking place during the openning phases of the Clan invasion

They released the following Btech toys:
Axeman
Mauler
Bushwacker
Thor
Hunchback IIC
Toad Battle Armor
Sloth Battle Armor
Infiltrator Battle Armor
Banshee Aerospace Fighter
I still have all of them in a box somewhere, plus a few more I'm safegaurding for my friend. They weren't the best constructed toys, but they did shoot missiles which was pretty cool. The toys along with the cartoon show were what got me into Battletech
