    So looking at the the lawkeeper profile, they come with a sidebot remote, but the action pack doesn’t have a figure for it. So I guess the question is what are people using to represent one?

    I've been using one of my (many) PanO Auxbots as they're essentially the same thing. You could also use a Yudbot.

    When I eventually get TAG-Raid in my hands I'll probably use the Yu Jing mini Doggo remote.

    ONLY the "specialist" profiles come with the sidebot.

    I made one for my army. Had the body piece of an old panO dronbot, and used a spare 1:87 wheel off a saladin armoured car and some plasticard rod. Also found a use for the "spare" ankle fins from my old Cutter TAG.
    Biker is an Aleph Penthesilea (conversion) model, but the principle is the same.

    Realised the ankle fins would work on it AFTER taking this shot.

    Instead of starting a new thread I thought I’d bring back this one from the dead.

    So, I want to make sure I’m not missing something here. I’ve now seen in a batrep on youtube and in person, the sidebot using climb+ with the Roadbot. However, the Sidebot that goes with a Roadbot, does NOT have climb+. Correct? While the Roadbot can climb a building in his High Mobility Form, the Sidebot can only move around the building. Am I missing something?

    Correct, the sidebot has to move around, (or the player must do an actual Entire Order Climb).

    Thought so. Well that makes it less interesting for the Roadbot. It's greatest thing is the climb+. I'll try it more with the Lawkeeper. So far I've really liked it with and without the sidebot.
