Films and television Films
- Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
franchise1]launched by FASA Corporation in 1984, acquired by WizKids in 2000, and owned since 2003 by Topps
Star wars was first, Battletech was more centered around it (Like comparing an Ice Cream Shop to a restaurant that serves Ice Cream)
But both have their place in my heart (along with everything else Sci-Fi like Star Trek)

"The 1880 Jules Verne novel La Maison à vapeur (The Steam House) featured a steam-powered, piloted, mechanical elephant."

And there's the simple matter of timing:
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back came in 1980
Dougram in 1981, Macross in 1982 (both sources of the Unseen Mechs)
BattleTech didn't show up until 1984
That being said, BattleMechs would tear an AT-AT into bite-sized chunks. An AT-AT may have heavy armour, but it's mobility and fire arcs are exceedingly limited.

and you missed the meaning of the question all together... 1. They are both fusion powered. 2nd they share simular designs. 3rd they both use energy weaponry. and so on and so on.... Mechs dont transform like Gundams.. and besides my original question was to see who knew which came 1st... which was obviousely Star Wars.. and as for who would win... who knows.. unless some geniuse makes a program that would take a starwars walker and a battlemech and duke it out... till them it's anyone's guess

Edit: Also another thing, you are only thinking their walkers, you also have to take into account military land speeders (not the singles but the tank like hover speeders that had some serious firepower)
Edit 2: Okay so reading back up no the AT-AT didn't have shields but still was ehavily armed
