I’d be more worried if the Kickstarter covered every pre-3050 mech except for the quads and Osts. It doesn’t, so there’s some plausible deniability there, and some good reasons to leave the quads for later, as Colt said. The existing Scorpion model only fits because the legs are bunched up, which is not conducive to looking cool.
But with any of these old mechs not in Catalyst’s Kickstarter… can IronWind work on them, or do they need Catalyst to create the art first? If the latter, then all we can hope for in the near future is metal versions of recent plastics, metal conversion packs for recent and upcoming plastics, and any Jihad and Dark Age mechs still waiting for a miniature. Which is unfortunate for me, because I’m still in the earlier eras (and would looooove a modernized Vindicator, Dervish, and Clint).
