Owner of MechWarrior® copyrights can create new mechs. And they automatically becomes BattleMechs from BattleTech.
I don't hate humanoid mechs I just say that they are ridiculous from the common sense point of view.
They do become Battletech mechs, but are considered Apocryphal. In other words,
unless the owner of BATTLETECH copyrights, aka Catalyst Labs (?), says "Yep, it's Canon", it is not BT Canon.
There's been examples of this. For example, the Aeron VTOL showed up in a Mechwarrior game before it was canonized in a TRO, if I recall correctly. It is considered canon, now, but it wasn't when it went into the game.
Also, OP, it's classy to like your own posts.
Edit : Argh, Dracol, you ninja-posted and screwed my intention of having these two posts merge. *stabbities in irritation, then shares the popcorn*
