I have some of the Heavy Gear, Gears from RAFM, they are excellent. These are
the best Mecha Mini's I have ever seen. In the Heavy Gear world they are 6m
tall piolted mecha,...something akin to the mecha in VOTOMS. They are scaled
to 20mm, but can pass for Landmates (appleseed style) in 25mm, or big robots.

I seem to be having a creative drought with these mini's. I just don't know
what I should make them. They are deffinatly more armored and armed than SGII
battle armor. They are bigger anyway. I was thinking of making them
remote piolted vehicals or maybe semi-autonomus robots, or something
between a walker and a battlesuit. How would you portray them? Are there Robot
rules avalible, offical or unoffical? I'm at a loss.

Thanks for your help,

JNoll

Good figures if you can get around RAFM's seemingly eternal quality control
problem with missing pieces, etc.

Your best bet would probably be to make them SIZE 1 vehicles, with a single
pilot and some kind of weapon aside from the assumed APSW. A
second APSW, perhaps, or a HEL/1; something that's small enough to fit
and carries the role of a super-heavy infantry support unit out well.
