I was a huge player back in the 90's. I would time to time go back and take out my old notebooks and look at a few of my homebrew Mechs, Techs and Vehicles. Play around, change things here and there. My kids started playing and they developed a Love/Hate relationship with Battletech and got me back into playing but more talking about it. The "What It" scenarios my youngest would ask me, had me really thinking. A few years back now, two of my good friends, their kids and mine all were out at dinner one night and Battletech came up and a scenario was born. We planned to actually play out the scenario, created units, everything. But as we were about to get down and play out the campaign, we started talking and we never started playing, we all had a blast sitting around talking Battletech so much we didnt even roll any dice. Watching and listening to the kids talk out strategies, tactics, and logistics made me all warm inside🤣 Thank You FASA for coming up with an excellent game and Catalyst for keeping it going😏👍

What is that, an Overlord for Ants? It would need to be... 5 times bigger than this. How are you supposed to transport a battalion of mechs if they can't even fit in the dropship?
Mech scale would be over two feet tall. The drop ship she tells you not to worry about.
@@rudyvalle9022 just a hair under 20 inches. I have 4 of them.
A lot more pumped up than "Dropship Thunder." I approve.

Mech scale or bust
{spaceship-obsessed screaming internally commences}
Mapscale is great and all, but I want to see one that's mechscale!
Hey we need video on this mister frog man
I love Battletech and this song! Mark a win for the algorithm!
Yay!
"Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?"
Looks to be a fun painting project.
Should be quite the project.
@@MechanicalFrogyou going to faction paint it? Or go more general?
Beautiful Overlord. Reminds me I need to get a few for my units.
That seems awfully small for something that can carry a company of mechs.
A battalion... 36 mechs
It is scaled to the map and not the mechs. Mechs are actually much smaller on map scale.
@@HereBeDragonsYT Shoot, you're right, I'm thinking of an Union. Not to count out the fighters too.
@@Brigand231 for sure! I love the Onion, too.
MF Overlord variant when? ;-)
The Midnight FTW. Cool dropshp, now to build an invasion fleet Hahahahah
Gratz on getting your order already 🎉😮
egg
Ah! The classic egg! Looking good, can't wait to see it all painted up!
"Sonic will never destroy my Death Egg!"
The egg of DOOM!
Not scaled to the miniature next to it😂
The Doom Egg!
Beautiful
Wow.
I'd wish I had one of those.Where'd you get it.
What a "good egg". How many Overlord's do we think were either officially named or nickname Faberge?
Thats cool, is it at scale with the battle mechs? I kinda thought it would be bigger🤔
It is map scale. Not mech scale
Ahh, that makes sense
It's such a cute egg! I wonder what mech will hatch out of it!
Which 36 mechs?
Mighty!
EGG
😮 this look fun for drop site missions
Are you gluing the legs on or using magnets?
Glue.
Nice
The EGG
Ooooh love that
It's neat
Looking forward to getting this dropship!
Im so jealous!😊
I just got my shipment notification today!❤
Imagine looking for these eggs in easter.
It doesn't open up it's top half so you can put mechs inside, does it?😅
Does not open :(
@@MechanicalFrog they had a golden opportunity.
Man, that is cool! So who owns it? Mechfrog or Minifrog? 😅
Mine! Mine!
The Egg of Doom
Nice print
Doom Egg
Still waiting for my Mercenaries order. It has all the Dropships along with the Merc Box.
What was the price point on this? Everyone is selling them for $200 or more on the it ranet
I don't recall the exact price. It, a mech box, and a couple of other little trinkets ran about $100 iirc. I didn't keep the receipt.
@@MechanicalFrog ok thanks! Thats way more reasonable lol
so is this the dropship that blows up warship fleets on the way to its target
Maybe.
its off scale to the mechs
Great model but needs to be bigger 🤣
But how do you fit a battalion of Mechs in there?
Никак, в классической игре масштабы не соблюдаются и являются не более чем условностями, иначе бы один небоскреб потребовалось бы обходить несколько ходов
Overlords carry a company, not a battalion.
Edit: I agree with your point, though. It's way too small.
@@Brigand231 oh dear, I thought the union class carried a dozen! Well that's what I get for being smart-alec!
@hydrakiosk no, you were correct the first time. The Overlord carried 36 mechs.
@@HereBeDragonsYT as long as everyone is having a good time I'm happy!
Where is True Scale 🤣🤣
Pricey. ;)
@@MechanicalFrog just gotta salvage more mech parts 🤣

It's map scale, not mech scale.
@@MechanicalFrog Sorry. I was trying to go with the Zoolander reference.
Egg
That's gonna be for sale!?
Should be widely available once the Kickstarters finish arriving and stores can put them on the shelf.
@@MechanicalFrog I'm so pumped for this!
Not to scale
Map scale.
@@MechanicalFrog legit
Not to scale. 1/10. Lower.
I assume this is a map scale overlord, scaling to the mechs would be enormous
