THE HELLCAT warbots are nice models, easy to assemble, and sturdy once
they have been assembled.
i have a pair of HELLCATs that i painted up and use for POLICE ROBOTS,
for those times when the scoops just are not enough to restore order in
the streets of TROMAVILLE . . . .
i also have 4 of them that i have used with different sci-fi rules
over the years.
my other favorite warbot is the BATTLE- TECH MARAUDER which i use as a
heavier armed and armored warbot. i have 4 of them as well.
i also recently acquired some multi- piece plastic robots from the
COMBAT ZONE boxed game (i think-i was given these).
the jury is stillout as to using the "humanoid" warbots, but i snatched
up the "HELLCAT" looking one with a missie launcher, and heavier
weapons to paint up for use. i am trying to decide on POLICE or
MILITARY livery for it.
the REAPER folks make some battle- mechs , and i picked up a couple of
the big "humanoid" warbots with 4 rotary- barreled guns for use as
warbot. i do not know what it is officially called though.
as far as crewed walkers, i like the 40K SENTINEL SCOUT WALKERS armed
with the "multi-laser" and missile launcher.
DBG (now OOP unfortunately) also made a nice one man walker (crewman
straddle it like a motorcycle).
there are some "dreadnought " sized powered armors with BFG for LEGIONS
OF STEEL out there that make for nice warbots too.
the OOP VOR "dreadnought" armors for the UNION forces makes a vry nice
LARGE, heavily armred and armored warbot, too. i never saw the NEO-SOV
dreadnought armor so i cannot comment on it at all.
and if you can find them, AT GROCERY STORES, in those "candy machines"
there is a range of multi-piece plastic Japanese anime "warbots" or
"power suits" tthat can be made into nice "humanoid" warbots for about
$0.50 each.
just some thoughts.
