Ever wonder what the first mechs of the BattleTech universe looked like? With the Battletech Proliferation Cycle Set, there is no guessing.

Sure, the art and representation of these mechs may have changed throughout the years, but Catalyst Game Labs’ representation of the miniatures is truly great.

Here’s what you’ll find in the Proliferation Cycle Pack:

  1. Battleaxe: A sturdy ‘Mech with a rich history, the Battleaxe is a workhorse on the battlefield.
  2. Ymir: Representing House Steiner, the Ymir combines firepower and durability.
  3. Coyotl: A sleek and agile ‘Mech, the Coyotl hails from House Kurita.
  4. Firebee: House Marik’s Firebee excels at hit-and-run tactics.
  5. Gladiator: A versatile ‘Mech, the Gladiator serves House Davion well.
  6. Icarus II: House Liao’s Icarus II boasts impressive jump capabilities.
  7. Mackie: The very first BattleMech ever unleashed by the Terran Hegemony, the Mackie is a true legend.

In 2439 the Terran Hegemony unleashed the Mackie—the first BattleMech—setting off an arms race across the Inner Sphere. The Proliferation Cycle anthology tells the story of how all six Houses employed force of arms, infiltrations and espionage to field cutting-edge new ’Mechs of their own. The volume also includes the story of the first Clan OmniMech.

This companion ForcePack includes all seven original ’Mechs, which can be fielded on any game table using the rules from Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras. No assembly required—includes seven MechWarrior pilot cards and seven Alpha Strike cards. Perfect for BattleTech and Alpha Strike action!

In the box, you’ll find…

  • 7 high-quality, fully assembled (unpainted) miniatures
  • 7 MechWarrior Cards
  • 7 Alpha Strike cards

Record Sheets can be found here.
