Unseen question
« on: 04 January 2015, 22:59:13 »
The Wasp is the old VF-1s
The Wasp LAM is the vf-1s in Guardian mode
Did Classic Battletech use the fighter plane version?  If so what was it called?

Aside from the Wasp LAM being as transformable as the VF-1S and thus also having all three modes, the fighter mode by itself has never been used as a separate unit.

and remember folks, posting pics of your Ral Partha/IWM Unseens is fine - posting Macross art is not.

If we actually build a functional Wasp LAM in our backyard, are we allowed to post pictures of that?

I haven't done this, I merely want to be prepared just in case.

I'm not sure how long you've been around on the forums, though you have a thousand posts. Never take anything JKlantern says seriously unless it's about food.

I... you know what, I can't speak for Catalyst or the admins on that, but I'll go ahead and make the call. You build a fully functional LAM in your yard, yes. Yes, I will personally guarantee you can post it here. (Must provide proof that it runs) Also, Lockheed would like a word with you.  ^-^

I would call that a scratchbuilt miniature, and thus just fine.

And if your scratchbuild happens to be at 1:1 scale and have a crapload of moving parts...POST PICS. [drool]

Thanks Weirdo. I thought the fighter jet version might have been used as a small aerospace fighter.
