In our fortieth deployment of BungleTech, Michael and I take a trip to Japan as we dive into a brian cache of Japanese BattleTech releases recently unearthed by members of the community in our primary topic segment and ask ourselves the question: is this even BattleTech or have we wandered into some Tetatae adjacent alternative BattleTech timeline? Strap in as we tour a place where familiar ’Mechs sport unfamiliar silhouettes. Just like a Marauder II crashing its way through a densely packed residential block, It’s a journey of equal parts discovery and destruction. Get ready for those knowledge check PSRs MechWarriors!

In our 39th deployment of BungleTech, we kick the safeties off the fusion engine and attempt something both daring and experimental in our Primary Topic segment. Together with you in the command couch—we chart the State of BattleTech in our era. Plug in your neurohelmet, tune a transmission in our direction, and join the ranks of those who’ve already shared their thoughts.
