Help what is this?

[17th Spartans]

Got this on eBay a few weeks ago. I have no Idea what is. I do know it is not a Battletech mech. But what Kind of Mech is it and where can I find it some Arms? Thanks for the help Folks.





I have 2 more I post later also. Shoot sorry the pics are so small I resized them to small.

I am pretty sure that is a Mekton mech.
i don't know the name of that model though, but they did make some "Transformer" looking minis
in the 90s. they even made one that had a good resemblance to a certain Autobot leader

[17th Spartans]

Mechton eh? Are they still being made?

[Brother Jim]

Long out of production.

That is the Mekton piece known as the Stallion.

I checked Amalor Myrnnyx's site first... Because I figured he had to have painted one by now... Image my surprise that he hasn't (although he has a nice collection of of models going)

Took a quick swing at finding you a picture. This is the best I could find.

I think I found a pick that may help out.  I'm not 100% sure, because of the small pics here, but I think this is it.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/grendels_lair/5120211577/

 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 Thanks again for going that extra mile for me. I did find that Flickr account in my searches. So it has a Sword eh. Hummmmm I think I will just have to do some kitbashing for the arms on this one.  I will post it again when I My Techs get done working on it. Until then 17th Spartans Go!

The Mekton miniatures line were based on the designs for RTG's long-defunt Mekton RPG circa 1994 or so. That being said, the Stallion is pretty obviously cloned from the Megazone 23 Garland; RTG were neither subtle nor reluctant to gratuitously steal art from other sources, modify it a bit and claim it as their own.

With that being said, I've never seen a full list of the Mekton minis line.
