I dug out my BattleTech game following my purchase of a box of 20 metal Transformer models from a toy shop in Antwerp. The BattleMechs & Transformers file below shows which Transformer models I used to represent which BattleMech models.

TRAINING SCENARIO 'FIRST RUN'
The fourth edition. The year is 3049. My name is Gorfrix. I am on a space station orbiting a planet at the core of the Federated Commonwealth star empire, far from any frontier. I am training to become a mech pilot.
A training Battleboard. I spend much time in the study of mech piloting and gunnery theory.
Once proficient in theory it is now time for practical. I finally enter a Cicada simulator pod and drop to an alien landscape. My mission is to escort a Hunchback ordered to hold a sector of our defensive lines.
