Fast-forward to this year and the first images we saw of the classic mechs was in conjunction with the Kickstarter for the new Battletech game by HBS. By all means, if you have a news announcements pre-dating the HBS concept art, I'd love to know/see it.
Also, seeing how HBS is working in conjunction with Catalyst on the Battletech PC game, I really think this is just a neckbeard argument over semantics.
