;D brilliant

I can see a bunch of Victorian (one of the states of Australia) high-school nerds putting in "special consideration" requests indicating that they had been distracted during their VCE (sort of equivalent to the SATs for our American friends) by inclusion of Battletech in the History exam, which was not in the syllabus O0

But when students opened their exam this morning they found an altered version of the work with what appear to be a large "BattleTech Marauder" robot aiding the rising revolutionaries in the background.

I cannot begin to explain how that makes me cackle with glee. Seriously, I'm giddy with righteous mirth. {>{>

I would love to see a fan-fic that explain how a battlemech end up in 1917

It could be a precursor to Dust! O0

At least it is a battletech marauder and not a Macross Marauder. :)

See - for years no one has ever noticed the Marauder in the picture until it was Reseen only NOW can we see it!

A mate sent me the link today with the line "Anton Marik's revolt?" I cracked up

I wish I could have sat that exam yesterday. Probably could have written pages about the Amaris coup and its aftermath

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #38 on:** 14 November 2012, 22:13:03 »

Time travel, the Marauder really was there but the hidden goverments don't want you to know of there secret battletech army hidden beneath phone company's worldwide. :D

Surely you'd still get serious points for examining the fall out from the break up of the Second Star League and the subsequent Jihad? I mean, what are we teaching kids, if not that...

Where did the previous version of this thread go?

dragonkid11 · « **Reply #41 on:** 14 November 2012, 22:44:49 »

Well,that would encourage students to study history a lot more better than colored historical image :D

Yeah, great now when I try to tell my teenaged boys that they have to stop playing PC/XBox360/PS3 and do some study, they will put MWO/MW4/Mechcommander2/MechAssault/Megamek on and say that they are studying the Russian Revolution >:(

They must be Lyrans. Who else would attach an Atlas to jump troops?

I can't help but think of that Wolf Dragoons officer who quoted Soviet propaganda during Battles...I wonder if he was a Scorpion by birth?

The historical parallel makes it even that much funnier. What 'Mech did Natasha Kerensky drive when she first started?

I believe you will find it is Alexander Kerensky.

History is just different in Australia.

Well it's official. BattleTech Marauder is a stronger meme than Robotech Glaug.

Hardly surprising as the name Marauder and BattleTech is just a stronger combination. O:-)

Well...I think this carries some significance as to HG's ability to defend its stolen IP....

And *fist pump* YES! First identification was Battletech, not Robotech! YES!..

(Also, is it me, or did the mods merge 3 separate threads into this?)

Atlas3060 · « **Reply #59 on:** 15 November 2012, 07:47:09 »

Oh they merged it and I'm fine with that. All Bolshevik Mech threads should join together TTGL style.
That way we show the great power of the Battletech Marauder in a nesting doll type of way. 8)
