When I was a kid in the 90s I had played mechwarrior 2 with my dad.we never watched the battle tech cartoon, our tv didn't get that channel, we had the Thor ,Bushwacker, Axeman an elemental and a Infiltrator toys. we did watch some Exosquad and I had a few of their Mechs as well and a few Robotech mechs I remember I liked to take the gun arm off Thor and use it like a nerf gun There was a show I watched a few times when I was like 8 called Hypernaughts that was a mech style live action kids show... I lost my dad when I was 15 to cancer.I still love mechs, there's been some cool mechs in action in video games and movies that I know he would love
Power of nostalgia and good memories through awesome toys. We never lose the ones we love when we keep them close to heart and mind. Thanks for sharing!
Tyco actually made a prototype of the Vulture Mech with Kristen Redmond but it never went into production. Which explains why the toy line had three Inner Sphere Mechs but only two Clan Mechs (not counting the three smaller toys).
You are absolutely right, misstatement, FASA controlled both boardgame turn-base and MechWarrior was usually more action oriented. I guess when all I was younger I kept the two separate because of the play style, but yes, they share the same universe. Good catch, good call out!
I had a bushwaker when I was young. That cartoon started a life long love of giant stomps robots.
Still have an unopened Mauler Axeman Hunchback IIC and have two hunchback missing legs and bushwacker missing its canopy and nissiles but got Val
I had a chance to get a Mauler and missed it! You are definitely fortunate.

Some good insight! Wished they relaunched these.
