That Axman is spot on! This post is going to make an excellent set of references whenever I get around to doing the same. Great job, man!

'I will defeat them with only my right arm lasers!' - or something to that effect. Can't remember the exact line, but then next scene, she's attacking with pretty much everything.

Nothing beats accessing the mech's cockpit through a ladder coming down from between the mech's legs.

There's a youtube channel with them all on it. Recently used it as my background noise as I did painting.
Not as terrible as other shows I recall from my youth.

Good lord man, what did you watch as a child? :o

The paint jobs are excellent, but I still find most of those colours offensive.  :D

Good to know. I need to see that final episode where they blow up the planet.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

Love it. You need a Sloth and an Infiltrator now to keep the fun going! (I'm not sure what the IWM Infiltrator is like, but if you need an alternative the MWDA one is pretty nice-looking, if a bit beefy.)

I know I'm in the minority, but I loved that show, and I really do wish it had continued. Yeah, it was Saturday-morning schlock, but they really made an effort to show Clan ways of thinking- they bid down, they spoke in Clan tongues, they showed a remarkable attempt at really making the Falcons something other than mustache-twirling bad guys, and I always have appreciated that.

(Also, now that I think of it, once my painting bench is back out of storage I have a spare Awesome laying around... hmmmm...)

I'll admit that it's on my "to do" list, and I even have a couple of the 'Mechs in my inventory.
