I'm not sure if these are really supported any more, but when will additional microfighters be released?? The line is missing a lot of the newer ASFs; IIRC the newest minis are the Hive-series drones (great little models by the way, I have a bit over a Level II to complement my homebuilt SDS Naga)

(Until I get a hundred-bucks-plus in disposable cash, I won't be able to buy any mech-scale stuff)

I traveled an hour out of town to pick up a Rokurokubi and Saracen today.  Turns out they weren't given to the shop's distributor yet.  Bummed.  But I'm excited to see them next week. <crosses fingers>

The "September" releases that were pushed back, twice in "October", will not be shipping until early next week. I literally just heard from IWM yesterday about this as I'm waiting for the ones I've ordered for my store.

I take it these aren't on their way to you from the IWM Online Store?  I can't seem to find them there.

Got the Warwolf and Vulture today. The Warwolf is on the smaller size with a in-place cokpit/head. The missiles are more traditionally shaped with possibility of the mini possible, still it is on the smaller size. The Vulture IV is Not small it is in scale to the Savage Wolf. It comes with an extra weapon to make 2 variants. Only complaint is the chin gun is in place and not separate.Good job IWM!

The Vulture gun look like an AC of some sort (hoping for the A :D )

As for the chin guns, every variant has two of something there, so It honk that will be alright… I hope!  Can't wait to see this thing put together!

One's a CERPPC; the other's an LB 5-X. The chin guns are twin ER SPLs...I didn't know ER pulses were a thing. The Vulture Mk IV also mounts four SRM-6s. No Streak, no Artemis, just basic SRM-6s. It's actually a decidedly low-tech Mech for its time.

(Re-engineered ER heavy large pulse laser...screw you RFA!!  :D :D )

it looks like the Vulture Mk.IV comes with 3 arms? 2 of the styled energy guns, and one AC looking thing?

Yeah, it looks like the extra arm is the UAC-10 for the A variant.  Might have to putty a few missile holes or something but I'm pretty happy (though waiting to see the fully assembled version of course.)

It looks like they just give you the entire arm sprue from the Mad Cat IV even though you only need the one arm. It makes sense since so many of the parts were common. Love the look. Dread the survivability.

I believe it's just the arm for the Prime variant LB-5X, with the arm sprue from the Mad Cat MK IV "Savage Wolf"

i think i'd just use the madcat arms for all the variants.. replicate the look of the MWDA clixbase mini. i'm actually considering buying a couple for an AlphaStrike Republic force.. would go well with my Raptor II's..

The art for the Prime has matched arms?

more likely it is for the A config's UAC10.

Kind of hard to tell...but now that I'm looking at it, it's very possible they are the same physical arms...but maybe the tip of the gun barrel is different. The RA looks like it has a point in it, whereas the LA doesn't. I'm going to have to check mine now to see what they look like with the mini. The other arm, the one that might be the UAC10...that looks just like the cover art for TRO 3145 Mercs...so maybe that is the Ultra.

Yeah, i checked after I posted that and it is a little weird.  The TRO cover has the LA more of an AC (and is the prime I think) while the Prime inside looks like identical arms.  Oh well, how it goes!

 The WK minin, cover art, and interior art are the same. The arm casing looks the same but the barrel ends are different and the left arm has the drum magazine on the side. The interior art has the arm in an orientation that you don't see much of it. Artifact of the perspective used.
