Flashlight equipped mechs
« on: October 09, 2018, 10:34:17 AM »
As a hoot, which mechs actually do have apocryphal searchlights? To add a mech, post the mech's name and source for the searchlight (preferably with a link).


In Alphabetical order:
Crusader - round disk in the torso was originally a searchlight lens (https://i.imgur.com/xVSylHJ.png)
Griffin - mounted over the cockpit (in this thread)
Locust - mounted over the cockpit
Marauder - mounted under the chin as per Mercenary's Star
Shadow Hawk  - mounted over the cockpit (in this thread)
Stalker - protrusion on top of the torso has been alternately the cockpit or a searchlight
Thunderbolt - Mounted in the center torso, and used by Mauve Wolf in Wolf Pack (http://i62.tinypic.com/w823o0.jpg)

Was the Griffin originally fluffed to have searchlight

I know the original quirk page has searchlight but I believe bmm does not

So not sure if that would be a fluff overrides the now gone quirk

Warhammer might be same way will confirm when get home from work and adjust post from there

Griffin and Shad both have searchlights mounted over top of the cockpit, but for some reason don't have the searchlight quirk.  As well, even the new Introbox version the Shadow Hawk has the searchlight there.





These are exactly the sorts of apocryphal searchlights that we're talking about.
