I was looking through my parts bin this weekend and along with some 'jump jet-type packs' I found ONE item that is either a square-ish, two-section rocket launcher…or a double-jet engine 'pod'…. I've looked through Reaper Cav and Ironwind mecks….and didn't see the part seperately or on any mech or vehical. I THINK there were two of these squarish pods on some sort of hover-vehicle or transport….but whether they were engines, boosters or missile pods….I haven't a clue! There are two in a 'pod'…(so the whole unit looks semi-rectangular)…but no circles indicating missiles come from either side. but on one side is a dimple…that leads me to believe it was a 'swivel' unit…(though you'd have to glue it in a single position on the model? I know that's sorta vague….but without an image…that's the best I can do…..I've tried my google-fu and nada! Help me 'tmp-kenobi'…you're my only hope! Sgt DWW-btod |

There were some jump pod pieces that were used in pairs on the backs of various early BT mechs like the Shadow Hawk and a couple other of the early desgns that were licensed from Macross. Did it look at all like this? link There was also another slightly boxier version as well. |

I've got those like the phoenix hawk…(actually sorta like those in Robotech)….these were 'boxy'…and looked more like they mounted on a vehicle…..or hover-transport or tank-thing????? |

Does it have a round nub on one side that is mostly flat and a sideways tube almost like a handle on the top? |
