Actually, yes. 
I am not sure if they're still being sold, but about 5 years ago they were quite available. They came in tiny little boxes of. They were kind of a random box sort of pick. But there are many of them are really cool including the Griffin the Shadow Hawk and so forth. With interesting poses.

Sweet! Too bad they're probably only on ExpensiveBay now.  :cry:

With the new rules for mounting BA Items in Ghosts of Obeedah, I've got to ask, can AutoMechs mount BA Items?

My guess is "probably", but it's Herb's call... ;)

Unfortunately, it seems our Syberians never got that far.

Maybe, if Mot's crew heads their way...

Yeah, but a lot of their stuff tends to blow up on the first shot or so. ;)

(That, and I actually ruled that the Syberian AutoMechs really can't innovate, per se.)

Bummer. It'd have helped the XL AutoMechs.
Thanks :)

if these had existed when we were designing the fanTRo, i probably would have used BA weapons on many of the smaller Aximal designs, as a way to shrink them down even smaller.

That's what I was thinking for the prop fightermechs.  :grin:

Trick is figuring out how to make it work, manual record sheets would likely need to be done.

Fun fact. I considered doing a small bunch of scenarios covering the major fights and skirmishes of the original 1984 pilot series in the style of a FASA-era scenario pack....
