Still, the gray mech has a heavy Robotech tinge to it, I don't think it's a rip-off.
Inspired? Fine, but that doesn't warrant legal action. Both look good in their own ways.

At this point FASA or Jordan Weissman or whoever owns the Battletech/Mechwarrior IP's should pay a license fee to use these designs. It would be a shame to have to remove them from the game and future Battletech products.

Absolutely. The Warhammer is kind of iconic of Mechwarrior. Granted it doesn't have the same stature of the Tiimberwolve but it just wouldn't be the same without the old PPC spitting monster :)

That being said, the red mech and the Tomahawk look NOTHING alike.

It would be nice if all the Religious icons, (Jesus, Allah, Budda, etc.) could just form a corporation and sue everyone for ripping off the human form.

Amazing.

Bring the trailer down? Fuck you, Harmony Gold. You will not ruin the new MechWarrior game with your piddling horse shit. I can't even recall the last time I saw a Tomahawk in a Macross anything.

I will have to echo the sentiments of "Fuck you, Harmony Gold."

I would give my right arm, left nut, and first-born child for a new MW.

PLEASE GOD LET THERE BE A NEW MW!!!

They've really done some impressive stuff with that, I'd hate to see it go to waste.

The Conquest mode was also fucking sweet for a meta-game and a concept that really should be revived.

Sorry, there is no convincing me, especially since I was a hardcore Mechwarrior player on the PC.
Mechwarrior 2 is what got me to buy my first Dell P120! And upgrade from the archaic 486DX.
Now they were fun I suppose, but for the Mechwarrior fans, to leave them out in the cold was just bastard.

Would love to play a new Mech/Merc game.
07/07/09
How do you DO it?
07/08/09
Same here, I got the Dell P120 with a Motion 771 2MB video card!
@Whytookay - Battlecruiser Operational:
Been playing it since I was a kid with my uncle. He got me into Mechawarrior. And his collection (hundreds of pewter figurines) and hardbound books has to be worth thousands now!

Look at my avatar, and tell me I don't agree.
