As I am not a table topper, I do not really have a favorite, but it appears to me that the XTRO's are something of a muchkins wet dream.

Actually, most of the designs in them are horrifically flawed.  I played in a game with the DVS-X10 Devastator in it, and pre-game expectations were that with two 20 point guns striking out to 18 hexes, it would be a real terror.  By the end of the game, however, the silly thing hadn't connected with a single 20 point hit, and had been kicked and pummeled with weapons fire.  Turns out the thing was a horrible heat-pig and extremely vulnerable to damage.  Fun unit, though!

Yeah, I'm pretty biased in favor of most of the ones I wrote for.  I  have to say I'm a big fan of the Warrior S-9 VTOL, however, and the Wildkatze fighter, neither of which I had much of anything to do with. 

Well, then, in that case....

Warrior S-9 VTOL - with stealth armor & a +5 movement modifier, no one is going to ever successfully return fire on it while it lays down that ELRM barrage.

DOL-1A2 Dola - It's a Spider with TAG and a vibroblade.  Who hasn't wanted that?

TSG-9DDC Ti Ts'ang - Yes, it's completely useless without an elite pilot, but with one, the TC/X-Pulse lasers and Lance can tear up just about any opponent.

THR-C4 Thunder - Pulls down a +3 jumping mod and can indirect fire a 20 point face-crusher out to 18 hexes?  Move over, Archer!  That's my kind of fire support!


TR-13G Transit - The Long Tom Cannon under the Aerospace rules makes the Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle look like a silly waste of resources.

Vengeance-DC class Pocket Warship - Swarms of fighters and swarms of missiles!  Few Pocket Warships will be able to touch the firepower of a solid Vengeance-DC group!

The Vengeance is pretty nasty, but I question the effectiveness of the heavy missile load when you can fly a couple of squadrons of SB-31D Sabres. 

I figure 18 TR-15 Transgressors could hose down any normal number of SB-31Ds prior to launching those missiles.

Hence why I let the CO choose the car we buy, if the brochure of XTRO says its great, I take them at thier word. I should try to get the maps and minatures out some more.

I didn't use them yet but I like some of the new pictures they made.

I'm in love with the look of the Primitive Wasp. Way to bring it back!

Also like the Black Eagle Dropper. Nice lead up to the Lion & Union.
