I don't know if anybody has seen this stuff, Airfix appear to be releasing it for "kids" in July in the UK. It may already be out in the US.
URL is
http://www.robogear.co.uk/home/thegame.aspx
It seems like it could be a good (cheap!?) source of spares for conversion in Epic or Warhammer40k. The kits seem to have the 40K look. I might be able use bits for my planned epic Chaos stalktank....

Hmmm ... Airfix is jumping on the Sci-Fi Bandwagon ...

Intersting. Models arent too great. Soldiers could be stand in for 40k IG. I see they've got some good terrain sets, they're probably the only bit of it I'd buy!

This isn't actually Airfix... they must have picked it up off of the same guys in Russia that originally did the "platformer" kits that Imex is marketing...
Heres the "original" Imex page for it:

I can't remember the name of the Russian company but I've had the dubious pleasure of handling these things... saying the quality is atrocious is a bit of understatement.
I'm surprised Airfix is getting their hands soiled by these things actually.
