All I see is a Warhammer, a Marauder, and a Rifleman if I'm not mistaken. Darn you Harmony Gold. Let us Battletech Fans have our stolen Mech Designs back! PS: LAMs they can keep

erm, you might be confused on who stole what, but it's quite stupid when they could all work out a reciprocity deal and make more money (since the designs have been associated with both ips for 30 years).

That being said, let FD redesign all of them ( or here's a thought, how about having a community event where we redesign them based on very specific requirements to avoid legal fire from across the pond).


Those VF fighters need to transform ala old school jetfire/macross toys, instead of getting static molds for each form (very easy to do).

The cards need some spatial work and more modifiers (kids nowadays don't want to roll 100 dice every turn), but it's looking good so far.

If it sells well and an online game also comes out...then we might have a bit of a ***********.

(that being said the $80 level is calling to me...)

Harmony Gold are American, not Japanese.

No, HG stole from us (Mad Cat) and then abused the fact we bought license for those designs from the original drawers who had no right to sell them to American in the first place.

It's TT... why are you upset?

Edit: Ah, I see why...
Carry on!

So in the end we should still hate Harmony Gold. This explains why the reseen became unseen again a little while ago
