Are their any stats on Motorcycles or Gravity Bikes in the AE Bounty-verse? I imagine gangs of pirates would use anything they could for lightening style raids and mercenaries would love to get their hands on something they could use to retrieve objectives that offers a little more fire power. I even imagine bounty hunters could occasionally use an edge an extra storage capacity for weapons.
I'm curious to know what the verdict on motorcycles and grav/jet bikes would be or if there are any? Aside from being fast would they have armor and weapon options? If so how could this affect scenarios?
The truth is I found some pretty sweet miniatures and would love to have a reason to incorporate them into my crew list.
any help would be awesome thanks!

If you have access to any of the AE:WWII stuff, I'd look through it for info on vehicles and see what cool rules you can come up with.
I'd love to see some basic vehicle rules for Bounty in the future.

Bike rules and basic vehicle rules for bounty have been written. We should be able to share them with you guys soon.

Hopefully the Bounty bike rules will be a little more cinematic than the ones in AEWWII. I love the historical rules and the utility of bikes within that rules set are about right, but in Bounty and the kind of sci-fi it replicates the rules need to be a little more fantastic.
I want to see bikes roaring around with riders blasting away with pistols and swooping into close combat with weapons swinging and NOT immediately crashing in flames as would happen in real life ;D

I think at the moment we have four different bike types. Hopefull you'll find what you're looking for between the base case and the different vehicle upgrade options  |

Oooh looking forward to the vehicle options  Bikes especially (grav and conventional) are a key part of sci-fi combat for me and hopefully some small combat vehicles and, if the writers can get past their dislike of walkers in AEWWII....WALKERS! ;D My other big 'want' are more robot options, maybe even a complete robot crew. |

When are we likely to see the OTW with vehicles?

Star Wars style speeder bikes would be cool.

Sweet Godz.
I love the look of those preying mantis bikes. I've always wanted bike's in an army list just for the sense of vanity. There's a bike I think done by Urban Mammoth I'm still hunting for.
Will the bikes be as customizable as the crew or gear lists? Also, will there be scenarios which utilize bikes? I'm beginning to learn now that some of the best table top books are those which incorporate various detailed scenarios that favor various army lists.
AE Walkers? That would be very interesting to see. As for a robotic or mechanized crew I would love to see both.

Yup. The Mantis and Praying Mantis are the newer mono wheeled cycled. The Werewolf and the Vampire are the floating / anti-grav bikes that look pretty cool like a Star Wars speeder bike. I like em all. |
