1st Somerset Strikers
This is my recreation of the 1st Somerset Strikers as featured in the battletech: The Animated Series. When I was a kid, my generation got hit with this TV show, with a toyline by Tyco, and with a SNES and Sega Genesis game called battletech 3050. Instant addiction and obsession. Good job FASA, you got us good. I was too young to really understand any of the other battletech product lines, infact, I did not even know they existed until i was much older.
Status of this unit: In my personal collection.
All of the 'Mechs that the 1st Somerset Strikers used.
Episodes 1 through 6. Valten Ryder in his Centurion, Zachary Miles Hawkins in his Mauler, Adam Steiner in his Axman, and Ciro Ramirez in his Wolfhound.
Episodes 7. Waldorff V Resupply run. Adam Steiner gets an Awesome, Katiara Kylie is given the Infiltrator BA to train in, Hawk still has his Mauler, Franklin Sakamoto is given a Sloth to train in, and Valten Ryder gets a Bushwacker.
Episodes 8. Ciro Ramirez does his Trial of Position in Adam Steiner's captured Axman, against Adam Steiner in his Awesome. Adam withdraws and Ciro becomes a Mechwarrior of Clan Jade Falcon.
Episode 11. Adam in his Awesome, Hawk in his Mauler, Franklin Sakamoto in a Hatamoto-chi (which I still cannot understand why the Strikers did not keep), and Ryder in his Bushwacker.
Episode 12 and 13. Andrew Steiner in Adam's Axman, Hawk in his Mauler, I do not remember if Kylie or Franklin were in the Infiltrator suit, Ryder in his Bushwacker, and Adam in his Awesome.
