Standard's weapons layout would first appear in then Classic BattleTech's first adaptation of figures from WizKids' figures in Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age Book I authored by [[Randall Bills]]. Due to WizKids' game mechanics, it did not allow for Omni ability of the original Nova Black Hawk. This is why, though it shares the same name, Black Hawk Standard is not the same 'Mech. It was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]], with early Record Sheets first appearing in the [[Turning Points (series)|PDF-only Turning Points series]] book, Dark Age Tuning Points: Liao and later fully adapted into Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries with full background information. ==Gallery== <gallery> Black Hawk (Standard) BCTROS Black Hawk.jpg|Original ''Black Hawk'' from ''[[Dark Age Turning Points: Liao|DATP: Liao]]'' Black Hawk Standard_3145Merc.png|''Black Hawk'' from ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries|TRO: 3145 Mercs]]'' </gallery> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Dark Age Turning Points: Liao]]'' * ''[[Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' * ''[[Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3150]]'' [[Category: BattleMechs]] [[Category: Medium BattleMechs]] [[Category: 50 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Diamond Shark BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Hell's Horses BattleMechs]]
