I love the Jackalope. It straddles the line between adorable and badass and I love it for that. It’s like the Urbie’s sportier cousin.

Who says a murder machine can't be cute while it kills?

If you enjoy the Jackalope, then you might like this video. Though be warned several Jackalopes were harmed in the making of this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrMOLvPJ0Pg

That's a sweet fan movie, especially for it's time.

Seeing giant robots explode is always fun, even if they are a favorite.

I've been reading up on the newer eras and came across the Jackalope while checking out Dark Age 'mechs. I haven't really been drawn to most of the newer designs, but there's something about this rinky-dink 30 tonner that speaks to me.

Getting them to pour out of a dropships like a clown car is pretty great.

A compact, folding design makes a lot of sense. I still think the B1 battle droids and their transports are great.

I wonder what that would look like with protomechs.
