Bounty Hunter Companion Mech pack
« on: 01 May 2011, 17:53:29 »
so i just saw this listed on FRP and the description of the contents caught me by surprise.

it looks like the primitive shadowhawk is to be included in it. One question i do have is what is a Pheonix hawk A. i figured it might be a mistake on the company's part? then again this looks like it could be another dossier pack and so it could be a custom variant.

if anyone can help i would appreciate it. i do realize this frp isn't and official source for content but they've been good in the past, i'm just looking to see if someone knows anything more about it than this

It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage.

I had to do a quick search to look this up and also found the Bounty Hunter set. Um, the drooling hasn't stopped yet.

Am curious on the P'Hawk A as well though.

I'm in the same boat as you bro. Of course most things Bounty Hunter tickle me so this isn't too out of the norm for me.

Looks like a Bounty hunter pack and a separate BH companions pack?  According to alliance.

First off: The Shadow Hawk's been authorized? Sweet!

Second: Wait. The PXH-3M is Unseen. You sure you're not talking about a later Reseen version?

PXH-3M is not unseen, it's in TRO:Project Phoenix p.67, I stand corrected, per RS: 3085 Unabridged - Project Phoenix it is unseen (silhouette is black).

i'm hoping the cauldron born is actually a variant, since it lists it as the A, and i'm hoping the javelin will also be modified into the right variant, mostly because i'm the worst person on this forum at modifying minis  :'(

my ideal pack would have each of the mechs in the proper variant like they did with the starterbook packs, though i doubt it since i'm betting these are supposed to go with the new dossiers that were talked about in the chat with HABEAS IIRC, and those mech packs have had the standard minis
