So if i like 900 of the 1000 aspects of Battletech but dislike some initial japanese toy mechs (and some objectively determinable idiocy in the BT rules), I must leave?
Ignorant and arrogant much?


btw: I played Crescent Hawk's Revenge as a child. I probably know BT longer than most people here.
That does not mean I can't recognize childish foolnishness if I see it.

One might say the classic marauder is the "core" of BT and guess what: they changed it because it was identically stolen from robotech.
I personally consider the stackpole novels and the IS vs. Clans to be the core of BT (which has much more relevance than some initial child toy designs)


See, toy robots, all there.

Not stolen legaly licenced.FASA actually purchased use rights for the first "wave" of mechs used in the first publication of Battledroids.

Also...
The Enforcer,Commando and Hermes II are all original designs published by FASA. So toy robots 50% there?

And toy robots? before they were toys they were mecha featured in animae.

Crusher Joe : Locust (Galeon light tank and leopard dropship as well )

Dougram Fang of the Sun : Griffin,Wolverine,Shadowhawk,Scorpion,Goliath,Thunderbolt and Battlemaster.

Macross: Stinger,Wasp,Valkyire,Phoenix Hawk,Crusader,Rifleman,Ostroc,Ostsol,Ostscout,Warhammer,Archer,Marauder,Longbow.

The animae first then the toys...mmm love me some toy robots.

I thought of this... If PGI could do the animations for holding the gun, the stinger would feel very much like FPS James Bond Ne64 style. Though I'm not sure it would be possible considering the arms would always sheild the CT.

Ah, the early 90s. We tried to hook up a 386. It worked... except the modem took the same... scuzzy... scus... scsi(?) Slot as the mouse. Eh computer literate people know what I'm talking about. AOL and 16 colors, no website to see for miles and (iirc) alt+ arrow keys to navigate. Course I missed the pre days of bbs and text only. Now that's was a wild west from what I heard. Ascii porn and everything.
