These incredible mecha were recently uncovered upon Carcosa and have taken up their ancient deadly trade of gladiatorial combat once again. They work as mercenaries often on opposites for the pay of 1d4 artifacts and the chance to test their metal against each other once again. 



The alien insectoids that drive these mecha have been seen across the galaxy for the past couple of months in their strange bio organic armor making inquiries and dealing themselves with galactic affairs. These mecha and their drivers were rumored to have been seen on Earth during the Atomic Wars. 


The Mega Bugs are copy right and trade marked to the Kenner corporation. This is a fan homage from my childhood and this is for Entertainment purposes only. 
All information is from my sick and twisted DM's mind but the photos and such are from the Plaid Stallions site and you can view more right

  1. These are cool! Amazing I don't remember seeing them from when I was a kid. Reminds me of an earlier version of Zoids.

    It also reminds me of the Apparatus of Kwalish from the AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide.

    I had these and Zoids and these were BIGGER!
    Yes, These are very much in the spirit of the Apparatus of Kwalish from the AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. We've got more of these types of toys coming up. Thanks for the great comment.
