Yeah, sure, they'd probably prefer some more advanced tech. I just wanted to debunk his argument concerning the cockpit.

Which you really haven't.

Your both missing the point. You need to watch the town hall. This isn't anymore plagiarism than these four cars

They are all what you call a 4 door coupe. All are the same all are different no one says they are infringing on one another.

As far as names go.
they made a Ford Sierra
Dodge Sierra
GMC Sierra
too name one.
plus GM made the BT Maurauder and the Robotech Masters made thier Marauder.....

and this even applies to entertainment art; this is why the zerg or the tyrannids do not inflict the copyright of the xenomorph; you just cannot copyright a certain number of bodyparts, etc.

DC comics metallo does not inflict the intellectual property of james cameron and his creation the terminator

do you think they were worried about it? they clearly weren't, because then they made a thing called "cyborg superman" and it is another superman villain with the same look as the terminator.

those would be baseless;

i think harmony gold doesn't have a leg to stand on here. really-

although they could argue it is more like patenting a machine in this case i guess, but it isn't real that's the thing.

it's not like the mid mounted ac5 in the hump, is going to make the 'machine perform better' and so it is a crucial part of the copyright; it's FAAAAKE! - so long as it doesn't look like the thing from robotech 100% i think you can get away with putting the gun in the middle and making the cockpit smaller.

absolutely
