Wow what a contrast in old Anime compared to new ones.

Older Mech anime has so much more detail and love poured into it.

It's the Macross opening footage (from the 2012 Blu Ray edition), but with HG's Robotech intro music.
While the music is good, it unfortunately still carries HG's stink. :/

Behold, the true Macross opening.

Miniatures and in game designs are probably handled differently depending on the company. PGI is not gonna get the Marauder in MWO until they rename it in addition to redesigning it.

It would be impossible to enforce a copyright on any of the battletech names for those designs, even if HG owned designs with those names because they're all very generic. The only way to for HG to successfully claim copyright infringement is going by the designs and with completely redesigned mechs that could be very difficult or downright impossible.

Which matters little, as just by the threat of suing, HG had shut off PGI from making those redesigned mechs. Which brings up my point.
