'''Roland M. "ColBosch" Boshnack''' was a longtime BattleTech fan and prolific – and often very outspoken – high profile poster on the [[BattleTech forum]].

As a fan, he had compiled a massive [[Technical Readout]]-style catalogue of all existing BattleTech units prior to 2010 but ultimately chose not to publish his work over copyright concerns. However, it became one of the cornerstones for the official [[Master Unit List]] project; Boshnack was among the initial members of the MUL team.

Boshnack was vocal about his dislike for the "Ost" series of [[BattleMech]]s (''[[Ostscout]]'', ''[[Ostsol]]'', ''[[Ostroc]]'', ''[[Ostwar]]''). CGL alluded to this by putting the 70-ton '''OSB-4H ''OstBosch''''' joke 'Mech on the [[Random Allocation Tables]] in the official (but [[canonical|noncanonical]]) 2012 ''[[Third League Turning Points: Free Taiw...St. Ives]]'' [[:Category:April Fools Products|April Fools]] publication (among a range of other joke vehicles).
