Every year on April Fools’ Day, I try to remember to drop a little bit of humor for the fan base. Last year, it was a tribute to BattleTech Fan Fiction: https://blainepardoe.wordpress.com/2017/04/01/battletech-april-fools-day-operation-total-freakin-awesomeness/ I managed to offend, at my last count, 214 fan factions in the BattleTech universe with that gem. So I figured I would go for the gold this year.

This year’s April Fools’ gift; a glimpse into the catalog of BattleTech products that never quite made the cut. Back in the heyday of FASA, a lot of this kind of stuff might very well have been on the table. Remember when FASA would put products in the catalog and never deliver them? Me too. So, pretend for a moment that I dug these gems out of my ‘archives.’ These are products that got shelved for one reason or another – usually good taste prevailing or because of outright legal issues or protests by various segments of the fan community.

Succession Wars – The Operational/Tactical Board Game. In the end- there can only be one. That’s right, the big one you’ve been asking for. Fly your company to any world, land, and slug it out using Total Warfare BattleTech rules. The map covers the entire Inner Sphere including the planets, on a tactical level! Exciting? Yes. Map size, roughly 22 square miles (not including the Periphery booster pack to be released this fall). Succession Wars ships will all miniatures of every single ‘Mech, jumpship, dropship, and tank used in the four wars; roughly five overseas standard shipping container’s worth. The painting set alone consists of ten 50 gallon drums of everything from Steiner Blue to Kurita blood red. Two collector’s dice and a 5,128 page hard cover rules book is included, complete with painting instructions for every ‘Mech, in every unit, in every war. Playing time after an exhaustive set up – roughly 4.7 years (the Third Succession Wars Introductory Scenario). The box art alone is billboard sized, perfect for your man (or Clan) cave. Pre-Orders get a custom Hanse Davion miniature. (Note: Some assembly required).

BattleTech Formal Dinnerware. Every fan has wanted the dining plate service from the Hanse Davion/Melissa Steiner wedding, now they are available. Relive that moment when Maximillian Liao grabbed those plates because they had the worlds of the Confederation on them. Gotta collect them all!

Clan Home Tattoo Kit. Ever want that Jade Falcon on your chest, of those patterned neural implants on your face? Of course you have. Now you can. With the Clan Home Tattoo Kit you can get your own battery powered tattoo needle and all of the colors of the Clans – Jade Falcon Green, Wolf Red…all of the popular one. With official BattleTech clan templates, you can be the most stylish player in your group. Forget painting miniatures, you have a whole body that can be marked up.

Joanna Brand Prozac. ™ Anyone can take mood altering drugs, but you’re a BattleTech fan – you demand more. With Joanna Brand Prozac, with a special slow-release fury inhibitor, you can be calm some of the time and still have those outrageous outbursts you can’t get with off-the-shelf Prozac. Control your inner rage and fury with Joanna Brand Prozac.

Clan Coupling Lotion. For Him and Her. Most Clan Warriors like it rough and this coupling lotion is designed just to create that intimacy. The men’s tube is a special mix of ghost pepper juice to make you howl in agony while the women’s tube contains a micro-sand grit to add to your mutual pleasure. Nothing says loving like Clan coupling! (Note this product does not prevent freebirths. Use with birth control or sterilization drugs.)

The Word of Blake’s Greatest Hits CD. Sung by the Hilton Head Choral Society, these musical chants are designed to help you relax as you do the Blessed Blake’s work. A must for lovers of Gregorian chants accompanied by bagpipes, whale-song with a touch of disco and gansta rap. Includes the hits, “I Wanna Watch the Whole Universe Burn,” “That’s Not Our Jihad,” “I’ve Got that Andurien Feeling,” “Doesn’t Everyone Give Warships For Christmas?” and, “I’ve got the Blessed Blake On My Mind.” Perfect for those moments when you are contemplating killing all of your coworkers in a fit of hysteria and rage and setting the building on fire, just for grins. Forget karma – spread a little chaos with some wonderful and relaxing dance and meditation tunes.

Super Abs with Vlad Ward Workout DVD’s. Building off of the highly successful, “Nicolai Malthus Zumba” DVD series, the Super Abs with Vlad Ward focuses on his unique brand of exercise and hatred of freebirths to create rock-hard stomach muscles.

Supplement: The Lower Castes of the Clans. Ever want to role-play a factory worker, or perhaps a delivery boy in the Clan occupation zone? The mysterious lower castes are finally revealed! Anyone can pilot an OmniMech, but it takes a scientist to come up with a cure for a warrior’s insomnia or preparing a meal for your NPC family! The grocery shopping tables offer a great view into the diet needs of the lower castes. This is your opportunity to explore this fascinating and often gripping parts of Clan society.

BattleTech ‘Mech-Scale Airbrush. Ever get frustrated using your standard model airbrush with your tiny BattleTech mini? We have heard your cries and are releasing a new micro-airbrush, specifically for painting your never-ending collection of ‘Mechs. This airbrush releases an almost invisible stream of paint, so small you can get that cockpit window to sparkle! Comes with a micro-sized air compressor and an eyedropper for putting in the paint!

ComStar – The Card Game of Building Trust and Betraying Mankind. (Marketing Department Note: Kudos on the catchy name!)

Avoid the Deliberate Blackout or Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal cards!

The Republic of the Sphere Domino Set. In this set of 300 dominos, one in every 12 falls over on its own, making setting up the pieces a real challenge.

Kai Allard Liao Hair Gel. Ever wanted to get that slick-backed greasy-boy look for your hair. Now you too can look like the champion of the Solaris arenas. Kai Allard Liao Hair Gel comes in three flavors (including Minty PPC Blast) and four colors (including the very popular Yen-Lo-Wang florescent orange!). Want to impress the ladies, slick up with Kai Allard Liao hair gel. (Marketing Department Note: Tests on lab animals shows this causes a rash in less than 30% of people who use the product – make sure we put a tiny warning label on it.)

Game Scale Game Map Set. Let’s face it, you’ve always wished the BattleTech miniatures were built to scale with the hexes. We could shrink the minis, or we can make the hexes larger. In this option, the game scale map set, each hex measures six inches, making our maps roughly 9 by 8.5 feet in size. If you’re gonna play, play big! Finally your minis will look to scale! With foam backing each map weighs less than 90 lbs!

Beta Strike. Alpha Strike made for quick play. Beta Strike goes the other direction. With eight pages of damage tracking, you will be able to track damage to each myomer bundle, every PPC capacitor, every laser optic unit. With over 2000 pages of rules, Beta Strike takes roughly three hours to play 30 seconds of battle time. Beta Strike uses real world physics too! Machineguns have real world ranges, as do missiles. So detailed, so realistic, you can smell your granddaddy’s sweat inside your neurohelmet!

Tiaret Nevversan Bikini Wax Kit. Nobody does body waxes like Elementals. Tiaret Nevversan Bikini Wax can be used to remove unsightly hair from those intimate places, can strip rust off of iron or steel, and can even be used to strip paint off your car! FDA approval pending.

Devlin Stone Whiskey. Like the Republic, it is so smooth that it is almost tasteless. You have to put it on ice for 20 years in order to drink it, and when you do, it kind of sucks. But the bottle is a collector’s item, so we know you’ll buy it. Best served with RoS Saltine Crackers (catalog number 3025)

Solaris VII Sunglasses. Ray Bans are for wannabe hipsters. The really cool look are Solaris VII Sunglasses. Perfect for those sporting events where someone may be killed.

Land-Sea ‘Mechs Sourcebook – Building off the stunning universal love and success of Land Air ‘Mechs; this supplement details the naval aspect of convertible ‘Mechs. The Tigershark, for example, appears as both a recon ‘Mech and a small houseboat, depending on its configuration. Why limit your gameplay to the continents when there’s a whole ocean worth fight for? It’s time to take to the high seas with your ‘Mechs. This contains all 38 different Land Sea ‘Mechs, special rule of play (including eight different classes of torpedoes, all with ranges that don’t even match today’s weapons!)

Rock ’em Sock ’em ™ BattleMechs. The classic kid’s toy comes back, this time featuring an Atlas and a BattleMaster as the toy punching robots. This new version features sound effects from battle, including a voice that yells, “Punch out!” when your ‘Mech’s head is knocked off.

Horse Brand Boxer Briefs. Your favorite freebirth now can be cozy with your junk all day long. Horse Boxer Briefs provide little relief on hot days, because Horse would have wanted it that way. They come in one color, green. With a thick waistband for extra support, this brand of men’s underwear shows you are endowed in the same way as their namesake. “If you are going to let your junk swing, swing it like a Horse.”

With Kung Fu Grip, your MechWarrior can climb up and sit in his or her cockpit and lay waste to your living room. ‘Mechs have chopping and kicking action and PPC and laser sound effects. The cockpit even lights up red for those nasty headshots. The initial set includes Morgan Kell (and a transparent ghost ‘Mech), Natasha Kerensky, and Jamie Wolf.

Today you will join a cult of ancient assassins. Good for you!

In the house of the insane, the sanest person is the one that recognizes the craziness in others.

Don’t trust the people you are eating with, they are conspiring against you.

Your sister is evil and plotting to kill you.

Someone at this table poisoned your food. You know what you have to do.

Cherish your children, but do not trust them.

Cherish your children, but do not trust them. Today is a good day to attack your neighbors – they would never expect it.

It might be best to kill your brothers and sisters, they are up to no good.

Don’t kid yourself, you are the smartest person at this table.

Those voices in your head, listen to them.

A knife in the back is policy rather than crime.

‘It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

The only enemies that matter are those you have not killed yet.

Crazy people always have more room because no one wants to sit next to them.

Do you really know who prepared your meal?

The loudest voice in your head is probably the one to listen to.

Your neighbors are up to something. Best to kill them now.

This is a good time to plot against the most threatening member of your family…or your sister…whichever is easier

Tomorrow will bring you joy, happiness, and the death of someone close to you. Embrace the day!

He who is most paranoid, wins.

You do not have to kill your enemies. Simply put them in situations where there is a high probability that they will be killed. Eventually the math works to your advantage.

Batshit crazy is not a state of mind, it is the mind of State.

Neuro-Motorcycle Helmet. Show your colors by wearing the only officially licensed BattleTech helmet. Sure it has a limited field of vision and can appear a bit bulky, but it tells everyone that you are a true road warrior – a MechWarrior! Comes in Dragoon’s Blue, Highlander Black, and Federated Suns Gold. (Marketing Department Note: We need a sticker that says, “Warning – you cannot use brain impulses to balance your motorcycle.”)

“Widow-Wear” Natasha Kerensky Line of Lingerie. Based on the original cover for Tales of the Black Widow, no one dresses as seductively/scantily/skankily than the Black Widow, and now you (or that special someone in your life) can wear her exclusive line lingerie.

Show your true colors and keep warm while you do it. You’ll want to beat your swords in the plowshares after a few minutes in this puppy.

Taurian Concordat Nipple and Nose Rings. I would say more, but you are digging out your credit card and wanting to make sure there is no limit on how many you can order. Am I right? We would offer body piercings for other parts of the body but the head of the marketing team is a bit squeamish when it comes to testing new products.

Nova Cat Tarot Cards. If you want to see the future, do it with Nova Cat Tarot Cards. Each card features a famous Nova Cat warrior or Clan ‘vineer. Perfect for those dinner parties or business luncheons when you want to get a quick read on how your next career move will go.

They connect to any WiFi, even if they don’t know the password and they pass on all of your personal information to a bunker in Hilton Head…for security reasons. If you type in anything bad about the tablet or The Word of Blake, their battery explodes. (Note from Marketing: TSA will not allow these on aircraft.)

Hanse Davion Cologne. Going out on the town? Splash on some of The Fox! Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to smell like Hanse Davion? A loser or Capellan sympathizer, that’s who! The sweet smell of success is perfect for those nights of power-hungry marriage and intimacy.

Marik Brand DNA Test Kits. We all want to know our linage and when it comes to the need for DNA testing, House Marik knows best! Ever wonder if your brother was swapped out by an evil organization and replaced with a doppleganger? Don’t we all? Now you can verify with a simple DNA swab. Results tell you what percentage of House or Clans your DNA is made up from. How cool is that?

BattleMech Jewelry. From the team at Iron Wind Metals, necklaces of your favorite ‘Mechs. This heavy metal bling is both hip and jump!

UrbanMech Home Trash Cans. Need I say more? Let’s face it, we’ve all thought this at one point or another. Simply step on their feet for the top to open. Far more useful than the real UrbanMechs in the game.

The optional four inch razor claws remind your youngster to be respectful of pets – so it is a animal-friendly as well!

Go-Bots Cross-Licensed ‘Mechs. Sure, you’ve heard of the Unseen, but what about the Re-Seen? Working shit out with Harmony Gold is too hard – so we opted for another partner. Our marketing team have secured the rights to the Go-Bots cartoon series and we are going to release their unique form of ‘Mechs into the BattleTech universe. We know you will be excited to see Bolt and Beemer in action on Tukayyid!

Uncle Chandy Sweatpants. These Kurita maroon sweatpants are made from special fibers infused with melted Wizkids MechWarrior ™products to give them a wick-away of perspiration.

If you wanted to know the nuts and bolts of the SLDF, this is your book

Scale Model Black Lion Battlecruiser. It takes a Clan to raze a village – or so they say. Let’s face it, orbital bombardment is the way to go. Why settle for small miniatures when you can get the scale model of the real-deal?

Barrel of Goliath Scorpions. A rebranding of a Barrel of Monkeys ™ game, this one using plastic scorpions. What could be more fun than stringing up a chain of dangerous plastic scorpions?

Malvina Hazen Brand Dog Collars. Usable on humans as well; these thick studded leather collars are just what you need to keep your dog, or captive young girl, in tow. (Marketing Department Note: We really need to vet this idea with our legal department, especially the human bondage aspect. This opens the door for a whole line of Malvina-based S&M gear if they approve. The R&D guys seem really excited to test this stuff, go figure.)

Rasalhague Door Mat. Emblazoned with the FRR’s dragon logo and the word “Welcome!” It is perfect for you to wipe your feet on – especially if you support Clan Ghost Bear. It’s less washable than it is disposable – just like the FRR!

Calamity Kell Western-Style Boots. With a name like “Calamity” you know they have to be tough. Emblazoned with the Kell Hound logo, these women’s leather boots are the envy of every MechWarrior out there. Great for line dancing or kicking some Clan-ass!

Freebirth-Control Foam. Coupling is wonderful but not everyone wants to bring a bouncing ball of freebirth into the world. If you want to prevent those unwanted pregnancies that lead to warriors that upset the balance of power in your Clan, try this contraceptive foam. Comes in Jade-Love and Wet-Wolf scents to add to your pleasure.

Republic of the Sphere Jenga ™. Each game piece is woodburned with the Republic of Sphere’s logo and the name of a world from that government. Let’s face it, we all want to see it collapse, so why not do it Jenga-style? You’ll have fun deliberately knocking it down.

Skye Scotch. Nobody is contentious and cantankerous as our fine distilling staff at the BattleTech Distillery (actually it is six perpetually drunken Canadian CGL Demo Team Members.) Skye Scotch has that flavor that, after a few shots, will have you wanting to rebel even from your own family. Aged nearly eight weeks in Brent Evan’s garden shed, each bottle is sealed with a half-melted Age of Destruction Clicky-Mech (all Atlas’s of course).

Helmar Valasek’s Weight-Loss Shakes. Who cares about Oprah? I want to know what will take the pounds off of the big guys. Well, here’s your answer – Helmar Valasek’s Weight Loss Shakes. Guaranteed to take off five pounds in the first week! They come in black licorice, spring onion, Lyran mint, and ComStar vanilla. (Marketing Department Note: Per the Legal Department, we need a warning label that these products may/will cause anal leakage. We suggest using a 4 pt. font)

Team Banzai Sourcebook. By popular demand, the ultimate sourcebook for Team Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers – starting with the Gray Death Memory Core through the Fourth Succession War. After Harmony Gold, we figured, “What the hell, let’s piss off Peter Weller and Jeff Goldblum!” Comes with a fold-out centerfold map of the NAIS academy and a copy of our Cease and Desist Order from Sherwood Productions…as good as any certificate of authenticity.

The BattleTech Staff Sexy Poses Calendar – 2019. We know you have been waiting on this one. It was hard to get Randall to strap on that thong, and Brent to put on the body glitter. It took three of us to hold down Loren for the bearskin rug photo shoot – but it was all worth it. Many shots mirror early BattleTech covers such as Brent posing as the Black Widow and Mike Stackpole replicating the cover from Sorenson’s Sabres (it was hard getting him into a pair of jorts.) This year features a centerfold group shot of all of the fiction authors. Authentic BattleTech Barf Bag included! (and required).

BattleTech – The Collectable Pog Game. Hey, Pokemon came back into vogue, we are just ahead of the curve. With roughly 2000 pogs to be released, you’ll be collecting these for years to come. Sure the game is simplistic, but we can repurpose the artwork from the BattleTech collectable card game for much of it.
