Long read but for me it's interesting for someone who into Mecha.

It's also have interesting history how Gundam design progress then become famous and such iconic today.

He's the man who designed original Unseen like Shadow Hawk, Thunderbolt, Battlemaster, etc and how he feel about his design being used in other media such as Battletech.

Thanks for bringing this article up.

I assumed it was him that PGI met when PGI was planning to bring the Project Phoenix into MWO, with designs for the Shadowhawk, Griffin, Thunderbolt and Wolverine. So long the new designs were not straight copies out of those from Dougram, it was okay.

I'm sure its a great article, thanks for posting.

Sad to say, 2 months later, I still haven't gotten around to reading it.
