Ral Partha Miniatures
Ral Partha catalogs in 1993 and earlier included a warning statement that their miniatures contained lead and proper precautions be taken. In Ral Partha's 1994 catalog the company announced the introduction of Ralidum(TM), its formulation of lead-free pewter. Also
Ral Partha would reuse catalog numbers from discontinued figures, thus catalog numbers alone do not uniquely identify a figure. It is convenient to divide Rap Partha figures into the following categories.
Battledroids line (1985)
In 1985, Ral Partha marketed a line of models for Battledroids, the latter having been created in 1984. These models did not correspond to the mechs mentioned in the record sheets of the Battledroids rulebook. None of these seem to correspond to any mentioned in Technical Readout: 3025. Note: The Vulcan does appear in TRO 3025, but with a different model code and artwork suggesting that no relation is intended. The names of several of these mechs would be employed in later Technical Readouts, though usually with a different model code prefix. Thus these do not appear to directly correspond to any canonical mechs/variants.
The FIR-7B Fire Bee did not appear in the 1985 catalog but was marketed in the 1986 catalog as a model that had been introduced before. Given the figure's similarity to that of the Hornet, Falcon, and Gladiator of this line, it is incorporated here.
In 1986, Ral Partha marketed these and several new models under the Battletech line. These models would continue to be marketed for a few years, but were gradually discontinued and fully absent from marketing literature in 1989.

Battletech line (1986-1989)
In 1985, Battletech 2nd edition was published and the name converted from Battledroids to Battletech. Citytech 1st edition and Technical Readout: 3025 were both published in 1986.
In this period, Ral Partha dramatically grew it line of mechs and incorporated lance packs, aerospace fighters, and infantry. Everything introduce in this period corresponded to Inner Sphere units. While Clan tech was introduced in Citytech 1st edition, no clan units appeared to be produced by Ral Partha until 1990, which is when Technical Readout: 3050 was published.)
The FLE-15 and ARC-4R did not appear in the 1985 catalog but was marketed in the 1986 catalog as a model that had been introduced before. The status of their model code in the canonical literature is unclear. While these do appear to correspond to mechs in the canon, they might not represent canonical variants.
Below are the figures introduced by 1987.
