Help identifying old figure range/game

[Smith]

Hi guys,

I'm absolutely stumped on a matter of nostalgia, and I hope someone out there might be able to fill in the blanks!

Back a ways (90s?) I remember a range of sci-fi figures being sold in some of the more mainstream stores (WH Smiths etc.). I vaguely recall they were packaged two or three infantry to a box, and had a (rather inferior) Warzone-y aesthetic. I think they were pre-painted plastic models, and for some reason I want to say that they came with decorative stickers in the box.

My friend vaguely remembers them too, and thought they might be part of a larger range that included vehicles that actually fired little plastic missiles.

If this isn't the worst combination of not much information and a whole lot of possibilities, then I don't know what is. Hopefully someone will be able to filter out the accurate from the garbage!

Cheers!

That's the badger! Thanks for the swift assist.

If I remember it was heavily pushed in 2000AD.

I have some of the walkers somewhere.

Robogear ? It was an airfix rebranding of the technolog miniatures and scenery. I got the starter set from tesco for something like £20 when it was around.

I just saw that you already got the answer.
Never heard of Havok but it looks weirdly cool...Might try and pick it up.

I remember Havok. Robotech is also still available from Russia as I think they were Russian products reboxed for the western market.

Robogear.

They are selling a complete set of Havok on ebay.
Reasonable price too. $38.00 US or L30 UK.

Where the Havok minis soft and bendy? i can't really remember (I do remember having some of the purple 'trooper' blokes though, back in the sands of time) and I often look at them on eBay and wonder about repainting some - I feel like they'd scratch the 'Masters of the Universe/Techno Barbarian' itch I've got (just for playing Rogue Planet).

Reviews and the HAVOK fan wiki (which is a thing apparently) say they were.
They don't look amazing and apparently the rules were kind of horrible.
To be honest I kind of want it because it reeks of over the top 90's badassery and that scratched my early gamer nostalgia itch.

The infantry figures were pretty horrible, like a bendy Heroclix with a similar painting standard. Rules were basic and the background a sort of faux 40k even down to Tyranid clones.

The Mechs were a pretty good sub for Dreadnoughts and the vehicles were rather nice with 28mm figures. I bought a load when Beatties liquidated their stock and they made for reasonably cheap human faction tanks.

The collective knowledge of LAF continues to amaze me. It is truly amazing how you can post a vague description of some game or other or a pic of some obscure mini or sometimes just a bit from something. And usually it is identified within the hour.

Well done chaps!
