was sent back into time. This fact was missed apparently and
THE VCE exam body has been left red faced after a the true artwork
depicting a huge robot helping socialist revolutionaries during the
Russian Revolution was accidentally included in this year’s year 12
history exam taken by 5700 students.

Down with Russia: a large "BattleTech Marauder" robot aiding the rising revolutionaries...
.
Alexander Fyodorovich Kerensky (Russian: Алекса́ндр Фёдорович Ке́ренский, IPA: [ɐlʲɪˈksandr ˈkʲerʲɪnskʲɪj]; 4 May [O.S. 22 April] 1881 – 11 June 1970) was a major political leader before and during the Russian Revolutions of 1917.
or
Aleksandr Kerensky
The Star League general who liberated Terra from the rule of the usurper Amaris. Afterwards he led the majority of the SLDF (The Star League Defense Force) beyond the Periphery of the Inner Sphere, to eventually create the Clans.
Funny, my first thought was of a "Macros Zentradi Officer's pod". (^_~)
I cannot favorite this enough.
Trying to remember the Robotech/Battletech names for each of the mecha FASA borrowed from harmony gold
Phoenix Hawk - Valkyrie/VF-1
Archer - Gladiator
Warhammer - Excalibur
Marauder - Zentreadi Officer's Pod
Excalibur- Warhammer
Spartan- Archer
Phalanx- Longbow
Raidar X/Defender- Rifleman
Various flavors of VF-1A- Stinger, Wasp, Phoenix Hawk
Regult Battle Pod- Ostoc
Officer's Battle Pod- Marauder
Behemoth II- Stone Rhino
And I don't think "borrowed" is the right word.
I don't know why they would have gone back to 1917.
If I had a mech and access to time travel technology, I'd go back to Paris, 1871.
Also, after Kerensky fled the USSR, he ended up in New Jersey where he became a jogging partner of one of my old comrade's grandmother.
Vive le Galt!
Love how its now a Battletech Marauder... if only we could get the Unseen back
...so that Piranha Games can add them to Mechwarrior Online.
At first, I was excited to hear about Mechwarrior Online, but then I saw that it was a keyboard/mouse game, which really kills immersion for me. I shouldn't be so biased, maybe, but I've got too many bad memories of keyboard/mouse control setups..I would prefer to have a joystick/keyboard interface.

You can play it with a joystick. It's a great game, though due to personnel limitations, the game is not as far along as it could be. The Beta status is still very much deserved.

You going to nationalize the central bank in Paris and then stomp down to Versailles while the communards dilly dally with elections?
Man, I wouldn't even need a mech, I could just take a tank!
Then we'd all have 35-hour work weeks and a month and a half vacations!
Vive le Galt!

You'd be better off with the equivalent amount of money spent on howitzers and ammo. You can pull them with horses and train the locals how to use them and eventually fabricate new ammo. I don't think Versailles got Hausmanned so you wouldn't be able to drive around like you could the boulevards of Paris.
May the ranks of tanks and bayonettes, Pay heed to the power of the guns, For all the lords of battle, We are the chosen ones.
