Where are these from?

[Hellraiser]

Hey all, 

I was going through my collection today & I am trying to place where a few of the miniatures are from.



1.  Catapult  (Fatapult)  Plastic.   REALLY BIG scale Catapult that has some sort of large barrel weapon in the RT.

2.  Locust.   Plastic.   Standing straight up, both lets on the ground, no chin turret,  rectangular cockpit.    (Kind of funky looking but would make a good 1E model)

3.  Locust.   Plastic.    In a running pose with 1 leg up in the air facing rear.
    (I thought this was maybe the same as my other unseen plastics that look to be 3rd Edition BT Boxed set, but another plastic Locust mirroring the original Metal one I think is actually BT 3rd, so now I'm wondering where this "sprinting" variant is from)


Sorry I don't have pictures but based on the description I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.


I seem to recall there was a small boxed set of maybe 8 minis that included some of the OST series back in the late 80's & I'm thinking maybe a couple of these are from that box???


Thanks for any help you can provide.

The running Locust is probably from the 3rd Edition boxed set.  One of the legs is on a peg, so it could be positioned on the ground or up in the air in a running pose.  If there's an LCT engraved in the front hexbase facing, that's the 3rd Edition Locust.

The other Locust and the Catapult sound like they're from the PlasTech box, which came with two each of Catapult (Fatapult), Atlas (Fatlas), Blackjack, Locust, Hunchback, Trebuchet and Valkyrie.  That Locust was in the pose you described and, while it did have a chin turret, it was very small and stubby compared to the 3rd Edition or metal version.  I'm not sure about the Catapult having a RT gun, but the Fatapult from PlasTech did have some blobby medium lasers on either side of the torso.

Thanks Mendrugo.

After googling PlasTech,  I can confirm, the Catapult & Locust are from there, but I'll have to look at see if the longer RT barrel is some sort of add on, because its MUCH larger than the LT barrel.

So it sounds like the running Locust might just be something where the pieces are glued differently that the pictures I found.

Thanks, I think that solves the issue though if anyone else has seen a "RT-PPC" looking Catapult before let me know.
